About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0483
Species: human
Position : chr5:88714837-88716837
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pubmed ID:  30106596
Enhancer experiment: Flow cytometry, immunofluorescence light staining
Enhancer experiment description: MEF2 (myocyte enhancer factor 2) is a transcription factor that regulates multiple genes that are important during cardiovascular development and for vascular homeostasis (1), with MEF2C known to play a crucial role in regulating endothelial integrity, survival, and angiogenesis (2). Some of the results of these studies have been previously reported in the form of an abstract (5). Methods To investigate the role of endothelial MEF2 function in the pathogenesis of PH, we generated adult mice with inducible, endothelial-specific deletion of the Mef2c allele, using a tamoxifen-responsive Cdh5 promoter driven Cre recombinase crossed to mice with Mef2cfl/fl alleles (henceforth called Mef2cECKO mice) (6, 7).
