CEBPB and chronic kidney disease: Moreover, previous studies have demonstrated that several targeted genes regulated by CEBPB, EBF1, and EP300 are essential for kidney development and function [85,86,87,88], suggesting that methylation alterations of CEBPB, EBF1, and EP300 target genes may block the regulation of CEBPB, EBF1, and EP300 on their target genes, leading to the development of CKD.
