About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0332
Species: human
Position : chr17:34252627-34254627
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Diabetic retinopathy, inflammation
Pubmed ID:  29678838
Enhancer experiment: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),Western blot,Immunofluorescence,
Enhancer experiment description: Treatment of human retinal Mller cells with high-glucose induced significant upregulation of ROCK-1, VEGF, and MCP-1/CCL2. Fasudil co-treatment normalized the high-glucose-induced upregulation of these mediators. Similarly, fasudil attenuated high-glucose-induced enhanced immunoreactivity for ROCK-1 and VEGF. Diabetes induced upregulation of ROCK-1, p-ERK , p-NF-?B and iNOS expression in retinas of mice. Constant fasudil intake from the onset of diabetes did not affect the metabolic status of diabetic mice but it attenuated diabetes-induced upregulation of these inflammatory signaling pathways.Our finding suggests that Rho-associated protein kinase-1 activation mediates regulation of inflammatory signaling pathways in diabetic retina.
