About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0274
Species: human
Position : chr2:216669369-216671369
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Dopaminergic neuron apoptosis
Pubmed ID:  29939784
Enhancer experiment: Luciferase Reporter assay,Western blot,Annexin V apoptosis staining,shRNA and stereotaxic injection,siRNA and transient transfection,TUNEL staining,Electron microscopy,Immunofluorescence labeling,
Enhancer experiment description: We found that, at relatively high doses, Meth exposure increased C/EBP? protein expression, which was accompanied by increased neuronal apoptosis and autophagy; triggered the IGFBP5-mediated, p53-up-regulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA)-related mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathway; and stimulated the Trib3-mediated ER stress signaling pathway through the Akt-mTOR signaling axis. We also found that autophagy is an early response to Meth-induced stress upstream of apoptosis and plays a detrimental role in Meth-induced neuronal cell death. These results suggest that Meth exposure induces C/EBP? expression, which plays an essential role in the neuronal apoptosis and autophagy induced by relatively high doses of Meth; however, relatively low concentrations of Meth did not change the expression of C/EBP? in vitro. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of C/EBP? in low-dose Meth-induced neurotoxicity.
