About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0510
Species: human
Position : chr1:205825403-205827403
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Alzheimer's disease (ad)
Pubmed ID:  29736028
Enhancer experiment: GWAS,EWAS,RTPCR,quantitative real-time PCR,DNA methylation,RNA expression,Chromatin conformation capture (3C) protocol,Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays,Cloning,Immunohistochemistry (IHC),Western blot,Luciferase assays,Cell viability assays,Lentivirus production,Amyloid plaques,Amyloid-? assays,
Enhancer experiment description: We find that PM20D1 is a methylation and expression quantitative trait locus coupled to an AD-risk associated haplotype, which displays enhancer-like characteristics and contacts the PM20D1 promoter via a haplotype-dependent, CCCTC-binding-factor-mediated chromatin loop. Furthermore, PM20D1 is increased following AD-related neurotoxic insults at symptomatic stages in the APP/PS1 mouse model of AD and in human patients with AD who are carriers of the non-risk haplotype. In line, genetically increasing or decreasing the expression of PM20D1 reduces and aggravates AD-related pathologies, respectively. These findings suggest that in a particular genetic background, PM20D1 contributes to neuroprotection against AD.
