About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0389
Species: human
Position : chr7:148804605-148806605
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Mammary cancer
Pubmed ID:  29940916
Enhancer experiment: Immunohistochemistry,transfection,Western blot,CHIP,qRT-PCR,CHIP-qPCR,
Enhancer experiment description: We found a negative correlation between estrogen-related receptors and Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2, aglobal repressor gene. Immunohistochemistry in primary breast tumors of different grades showed a correlated expression of estrogen-related receptors and EZH2. Their correlated expression was further validated using online MERAV expression dataset where a negative correlation of variable strengths was observed in breast cancer. Ectopic expression of EZH2 in low EZH2-expressing normal breast epithelial cells abrogated their expression and at the same time, its silencing enhanced the expression of estrogen-related receptors in cancerous cells. Global occupancy of EZH2 on ERR? and ERR? was observed in-vivo.
