About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0652
Species: human
Position : chr7:148804504-148806504
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Calcification of the ligamentum flavum (clf)
Pubmed ID:  30368870
Enhancer experiment: --
Enhancer experiment description: These findings indicated that ANCR upregulates EZH2 expression and physically binds to EZH2 in LF MSCs to suppress chondrogenic differentiation and calcification. Therefore, downregulated ANCR contributes to increasing of chondrocyte like cells and calcium deposition in CLF. ANCR may serve as a therapeutic target for CLF.

About Target gene

Target gene : --
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
Target gene experiment description: These findings indicated that ANCR upregulates EZH2 expression and physically binds to EZH2 in LF MSCs to suppress chondrogenic differentiation and calcification. Therefore, downregulated ANCR contributes to increasing of chondrocyte like cells and calcium deposition in CLF. ANCR may serve as a therapeutic target for CLF.

About TF

TF name : EZH2(ENX-1,ENX1b,KMT6,KMT6A,WVS,WVS2,EZH2)
TF experiment: --
TF experiment description: These findings indicated that ANCR upregulates EZH2 expression and physically binds to EZH2 in LF MSCs to suppress chondrogenic differentiation and calcification. Therefore, downregulated ANCR contributes to increasing of chondrocyte like cells and calcium deposition in CLF. ANCR may serve as a therapeutic target for CLF.

About Function

Enhancer function : These findings indicated that ANCR upregulates EZH2 expression and physically binds to EZH2 in LF MSCs to suppress chondrogenic differentiation and calcification. Therefore, downregulated ANCR contributes to increasing of chondrocyte like cells and calcium deposition in CLF. ANCR may serve as a therapeutic target for CLF.
