Abstract Background Immediate early genes are considered to play important roles in dynamic gene regulatory networks following exposure to appropriate stimuli. One of the immediate early genes early growth response gene I EGR-1 has been implicated in differentiation of human monoblastoma cells along the monocytic commitment following treatment with phorbol ester. EGR-1 has been thought to work as a modifier of monopoiesis but the precise function of EGR-1 in monocytic differentiation has not been fully elucidated. Results We performed the first genome-wide analysis of EGR-1 binding sites by chromatin immunoprecipitation with promoter array ChIP-chip and identified EGR-1 target sites in differentiating THP-1 cells. By combining the results with previously reported FANTOM4 data we found that EGR-1 binding sites highly .
