About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0555
Species: human
Position : chr7:148804486-148806486
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Triple negative breast cancer (tnbc)
Pubmed ID:  29636998
Enhancer experiment: Cell extraction,western blot,Gene knockdown,Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay,RT-PCR,quantitative RT-PCR,
Enhancer experiment description: Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is the catalytic core protein in the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which catalyzes the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and mediates gene silencing of the target genes that are involved in fundamental cellular processes, such as the cell fate decision, cell cycle regulation, senescence, cell differentiation, and cancer formation. A consistent association between TNBC metastasis and EZH2 has not been confirmed. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of EZH2 in the regulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to promote metastasis of TNBC cells and to characterize the metastasis-associated genes regulated by EZH2 in TNBC cells. We found that high levels of EZH2 expression induce repression of TIMP2 transcription, leading to increased activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and thus to increased invasive activity of TNBC cells.
