PMA induces transcriptional upregulation of Oncostatin-M in U937 cells.
A proximal region (CCAAT) of osm promoter is the PMA-responsive element.
PMA promotes increased expression of C/EBP-β and subsequent binding to CCAAT.
C/EBP-β inhibition results in consequent expression of CHOP and mutual association.
C/EBP-β knockdown and inhibition cause abrogated transcription through CCAAT box.
