HAdV-D36 infection increases the expression of C/EBPβ downstream genes, C/EBPα and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH), suggesting that a direct target of HAdV-D36 in the adipocyte differentiation program may be C/EBPβ (Pasarica et al., 2008; Na et al., 2012). Here, CEBPB is linked to infection.
