We found that resistin expression was enhanced by overexpression of C/EBPalpha and suppressed by C/EBPzeta, a negative regulator of C/EBPalpha ... Additionally, C/EBPalpha induced resistin even in L6 myocytes ... These findings indicate that resistin expression is regulated by C/EBPalpha and PPARgamma, partly via modulation of signal transduction in the PI3-kinase and MAP kinase pathways

Human resistin promoter was also activated by C/EBP alpha expression, although ectopic expression of both transcription factors did not show any synergistic effects on the activation of resistin promoter ... Together, these data suggest that ADD1/SREBP1c and C/EBP alpha may play discrete roles in the regulation of the resistin gene expression
