Mus musculus | in subcutaneous A431 tumors in mice, pretreatment with vitamin D induces the expression of CCAAT-enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPbeta) isoforms, and of coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPO). Vitamin D leads to strong accumulation of protoporphyrinogen-IX, PpIX. The murine CPO gene upstream region contains many competent C/EBP binding sites, analysis of C/EBPbeta and enzyme CPO interaction analysis, binding site analysis, overview. All C/EBP sites in murine CPO are asymmetric, with wide divergence between the two half-sites, fifteen functional C/EBP binding motifs in the mCPO promoter are found | up |
Homo sapiens | pretreatment with vitamin D induces the expression of CCAAT-enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPbeta) isoforms, and of coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPO). Vitamin D leads to strong accumulation of protoporphyrinogen-IX, PpIX. When MEL cells are incubated in 1% DMSO, large amounts of porphyrins are produced and under these conditions C/EBPbeta expression is upregulated. Concurrently, CPO expression is increased at both mRNA and protein levels, and higher levels of protoporphyrinogen-IX are generated in response to exogenously added 5-aminolevulic acid. LNCaP carcinoma lines respond to calcitriol with increases in enzyme CPO and protoporphyrinogen-IX levels concurrently. The human CPO gene upstream region contains many competent C/EBP binding sites, analysis of C/EBPbeta and enzyme CPO interaction analysis, binding site analysis, overview. Eighteen functional C/EBP binding motifs in the mCPO promoter are found, all are predicted to bind C/EBPs with moderate or higher affinity | up |

physiological function | coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPO) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the heme pathway responsible for the conversion of coproporphyrinogen III into protoporphyrin IX. The efficacy of photodynamic therapy for epithelial cancers is increased when photodynamic therapy is combined with calcitriol (Vit D), a form of differentiation therapy, underlying mechanism, overview. Differentiation therapy is associated with upregulation of C/EBPs, CPO gene expression, and PpIX production in tumors in vivo. Differentiation-promoting agents are known to upregulate CCAAT-enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs), powerful regulators of cellular differentiation, and coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPO). Cooperative interactions between regularly spaced C/EBP sites appear critical for CPO transcriptional regulation by differentiation therapy, mechanistic rationale for DT/PDT combination therapy for cancer | Homo sapiens |
