About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0414
Species: human
Position : chr2:216669551-216671551
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Atherosclerosis
Pubmed ID:  29896299
Enhancer experiment: ChIP,RNA-seq,ChIP-qPCR,Western blot ,siRNA,miRNA transfection,Luciferase reporter assay,immunofluorescent staining,
Enhancer experiment description: Taken together, our findings reveal that atheroprotective flow reduces H3K27me3 as a chromatin-based mechanism to augment the expression of genes that confer an anti-inflammatory response in the endothelium. Our study exemplifies flow-dependent epigenetic regulation of endothelial gene expression, and also suggests that targeting the EZH2/H3K27me3/IGFBP5 pathway may offer novel therapeutics for inflammatory disorders such as atherosclerosis.

About Target gene

Target gene : IGFBP5(CC-CKR-4,CD194,CKR4,CMKBR4,ChemR13,HGCN:14099,K5-5)
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
