About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0410
Species: human
Position : chr6:38673142-38675142
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Glycosylation
Pubmed ID:  29906314
Enhancer experiment: qRT-PCR,qPCR
Enhancer experiment description: We show GR extract and shikonin dose-dependently inhibited glycation and enhanced oxidative defenses through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element activation. Inflammatory targets, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF?B) and tumor necrosis factor alpha, were suppressed by GR extract and shikonin. Glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) and glutathione synthesis genes were significantly upregulated by GR extract and shikonin. GR extract boosted higher wavelength UV absorption in select cosmetic matrices. Rationale for the use of GR extract and shikonin are supported by our research. By inhibiting glycation, modulating oxidative stress, suppressing inflammation and UV-absorptive properties, GR extract and shikonin potentially offer multiple skin benefits.
