About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0085
Species: human
Position : chr7:148804371-148806371
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Rheumatoid arthritis
Pubmed ID:  31952907
Enhancer experiment: Western blot?RT-qPCR
Enhancer experiment description: Taken together, EZH2 in CD4 T cells from RA patients was attenuated, which suppressed FOXP3 transcription through downregulating RUNX1 and upregulating SMAD7 in CD4 T cells, and ultimately suppressed Tregs differentiation. IL17 in RA synovial fluid might promote downregulation of EZH2 in CD4 T cells. Defective EZH2 in CD4 T cells might contribute to Treg deficiency in RA.

About Target gene

Target gene : --
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
Target gene experiment description: Taken together, EZH2 in CD4 T cells from RA patients was attenuated, which suppressed FOXP3 transcription through downregulating RUNX1 and upregulating SMAD7 in CD4 T cells, and ultimately suppressed Tregs differentiation. IL17 in RA synovial fluid might promote downregulation of EZH2 in CD4 T cells. Defective EZH2 in CD4 T cells might contribute to Treg deficiency in RA.

About TF

TF name : EZH2(ENX-1,ENX1b,KMT6,KMT6A,WVS,WVS2,EZH2)
TF experiment: Western blot?RT-qPCR
TF experiment description: Taken together, EZH2 in CD4 T cells from RA patients was attenuated, which suppressed FOXP3 transcription through downregulating RUNX1 and upregulating SMAD7 in CD4 T cells, and ultimately suppressed Tregs differentiation. IL17 in RA synovial fluid might promote downregulation of EZH2 in CD4 T cells. Defective EZH2 in CD4 T cells might contribute to Treg deficiency in RA.

About Function

Enhancer function : Taken together, EZH2 in CD4 T cells from RA patients was attenuated, which suppressed FOXP3 transcription through downregulating RUNX1 and upregulating SMAD7 in CD4 T cells, and ultimately suppressed Tregs differentiation. IL17 in RA synovial fluid might promote downregulation of EZH2 in CD4 T cells. Defective EZH2 in CD4 T cells might contribute to Treg deficiency in RA.
