About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0517
Species: human
Position : chr19:6658582-6660582
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Skin pigmentation disturbances
Pubmed ID:  29730385
Enhancer experiment: RNA-seq,transfection,RT-qPCR,Cell proliferation assay,Western blot,
Enhancer experiment description: To explore signaling in melanocytes treated with TNFSF14, we performed RNA-seq and found that nuclear factor ?-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-?B) signaling is activated by TNFSF14. Further, we observed that inhibition of NF-kB effectively blocks the hypopigmentation induced by TNFSF14. We conclude that TNFSF14 inhibits melanogenesis in melanocytes via NF-?B signaling and could be applied in the treatment of cutaneous pigment disorders.
