About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0847
Species: human
Position : chr11:8271697-8279492
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low+High throughput
Enhancer type: Super-Enhancer
Disease: Neuroblastoma
Pubmed ID:  26560027
Enhancer experiment: ChIP-seq,Luciferase Reporter Assay
Enhancer experiment description: Acetylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27ac) is a hallmark of active enhancers, and ChIP-seq analysis of SHSY5Y (G/G; not MYCN amplified), KELLY (G/?; MYCN amplified), BE2 (G/T; MYCN amplified) and NGP (G/T; MYCN amplified) neuroblastoma cells showed extensive H3K27 acetylation in the first intron of LMO1 across rs2168101, which was not observed in BE2C (T/? ; MYCN amplified; Fig. 3c). This region is classified as a super-enhancer in G-allele-containing lines SHSY5Y, KELLY and BE2 based on enhancer clustering and especially high H3K27ac signal (NGP was just below the threshold; see Methods), a pattern also observed for other known oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes in this disease12 (Fig. 3d and Extended Data Fig. 6a). We next performed luciferase reporter assays to measure the effect of rs2168101 alleles on enhancer activity. HEK293T cells transfected with constructs containing the risk G allele demonstrated 30300-fold higher normalized luminescence compared to the T allele (t-test P = 0.002, Fig. 3e), whereas luciferase activity of the T allele was not significantly different from empty vector, indicating that the intact GATA motif is required for robust enhancer activity.

About TF

TF name : GATA3(HDR,HDRS)
TF experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay,RNAi
TF experiment description: HEK293T cells transfected with constructs containing the risk G allele demonstrated 30300-fold higher normalized luminescence compared to the T allele (t-test P = 0.002, Fig. 3e), whereas luciferase activity of the T allele was not significantly different from empty vector, indicating that the intact GATA motif is required for robust enhancer activity. Finally, knockdown of GATA3 in SHSY5Y and KELLY cells resulted in both decreased LMO1 protein levels and suppression of cell growth that was rescued by LMO1 overexpression (Fig. 3f and Extended Data Fig. 7), indicating the central role of GATA3 in regulating LMO1 expression levels in neuroblastoma.Finally, knockdown of GATA3 in SHSY5Y and KELLY cells resulted in both decreased LMO1 protein levels and suppression of cell growth that was rescued by LMO1 overexpression (Fig. 3f and Extended Data Fig. 7), indicating the central role of GATA3 in regulating LMO1 expression levels in neuroblastoma.
