About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0278
Species: human
Position : chr16:67559926-67561926
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Prostatic cancer
Pubmed ID:  31515496
Enhancer experiment: PCR,Flow cytometry
Enhancer experiment description: By combining the in situ Hi-C data with active and repressive histone marks, CTCF binding sites, nucleosome-depleted regions, and tran_x0002_scriptome profiling, we identify topologically associating domains (TADs) that change in size and epigenetic states between normal and prostate cancer cells.

About Target gene

Target gene : PRMT6,GABRB3
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
Target gene experiment description: By combining the in situ Hi-C data with active and repressive histone marks, CTCF binding sites, nucleosome-depleted regions, and tran_x0002_scriptome profiling, we identify topologically associating domains (TADs) that change in size and epigenetic states between normal and prostate cancer cells.;Moreover, we identify normal and prostate cancer-specific enhancer-promoter loops and involved transcription factors. For example, we show that FOXA1 is enriched in prostate cancer-specific enhancer_x0002_promoter loop anchors.;Examples of genes that belong to this cate_x0002_gory are TBX3 and PRMT6, which are known to be involved in prostate cancers23,24.;Examples of genes that belong to this cate_x0002_gory are TBX3 and PRMT6, which are known to be involved in prostate cancers23,24.;Moreover, we found that the size change of a TAD can be related to gene expression changes. For example, in normal cells, there is one large TAD at chromosome 15q12 containing the GABRB3 gene, which is not expressed in RWPE1.

About Function

Enhancer function : By combining the in situ Hi-C data with active and repressive histone marks, CTCF binding sites, nucleosome-depleted regions, and tran_x0002_scriptome profiling, we identify topologically associating domains (TADs) that change in size and epigenetic states between normal and prostate cancer cells.
Enhancer function experiment: Immunohistochemical staining
