Abstract:

 CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) is a critical member of C/EBP family. C/EBPβ, based on the leucine zipper located in C terminal of the protein, can regulate transcriptional activities of downstream target genes involved in diverse cellular processes, such as proliferation and differentiation. Recently published studies have identified that C/EBPβ is essential in the decidualization of endometrial stromal cells. This review summarizes the roles and mechanisms of C/EBPβ during the courses of decidualization, which is aimed at providing novel insights for dysfunctional decidualization.

Key words: CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β, endometrial stromal cell, decidualization, proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle
