About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0319
Species: human
Position : chr3:11269697-11271697
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Diabetes
Pubmed ID:  30653446
Enhancer experiment: PCR
Enhancer experiment description: Specifically, deletion of ATG7 in retinal vascular ECs of db/db mice and cultured HUVECs indicated a detrimental role of autophagy in hyperglycemia-induced endothelial dysfunction. Pretreatment with GANT61, a Hh pathway inhibitor, abolished the metformin-mediated downregulation of autophagy and endothelial protective action

About Target gene

Target gene : ATG7,BNIP3
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
Target gene experiment description: Specifically, deletion of ATG7 in retinal vascular ECs of db/db mice and cultured HUVECs indicated a detrimental role of autophagy in hyperglycemia-induced endothelial dysfunction. Pretreatment with GANT61, a Hh pathway inhibitor, abolished the metformin-mediated downregulation of autophagy and endothelial protective action;Mechanistically, GLI1 knockdown-triggered autophagy was related to upregulation of BNIP3, which subsequently disrupted the association of BECN1/Beclin 1 and BCL2.
