About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0048
Species: human
Position : chr7:148804334-148806334
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Pulmonary fibrosis
Pubmed ID:  29053336
Enhancer experiment: ChIP
Enhancer experiment description: These findings suggest that a novel and functionally interdependent interplay between EZH2 and G9a regulates histone methylation-mediated epigenetic repression of the antifibrotic CXCL10 gene in IPF. This interdependent interplay may prove to be a target for epigenetic intervention to restore the expression of CXCL10 and other anti-fibrotic genes in IPF.

About Target gene

Target gene : --
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
Target gene experiment description: These findings suggest that a novel and functionally interdependent interplay between EZH2 and G9a regulates histone methylation-mediated epigenetic repression of the antifibrotic CXCL10 gene in IPF. This interdependent interplay may prove to be a target for epigenetic intervention to restore the expression of CXCL10 and other anti-fibrotic genes in IPF.

About TF

TF name : EZH2(ENX-1,ENX1b,KMT6,KMT6A,WVS,WVS2,EZH2)
TF experiment: ChIP
TF experiment description: These findings suggest that a novel and functionally interdependent interplay between EZH2 and G9a regulates histone methylation-mediated epigenetic repression of the antifibrotic CXCL10 gene in IPF. This interdependent interplay may prove to be a target for epigenetic intervention to restore the expression of CXCL10 and other anti-fibrotic genes in IPF.

About Function
