About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0910
Species: human
Position : chr8:128230172-128243000
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Colorectal cancer
Pubmed ID:  24594601
Enhancer experiment: qRT-PCR,3C
Enhancer experiment description: The enhancer region showed long-range in_x005f_x0002_teraction with MYC (?335 kb from the region),suggesting that the enhancer region could regulate CARLo-5 (?180 kb from the region) expression by enhancing its transcription through direct interaction. To test this possibility, we performed chro_x0002_mosome conformation capture (3C) analysis using genomic DNA from CRC-derived HCT116 and RKO cells.The results of 3C analysis show that the enhancer region physically interacts with CARLo-5.

About Target gene

Target gene : CCAT1(CARLO5,CARLo-5,onco-lncRNA-40)
Strong evidence: 3C
Less strong evidence: qRT-PCR
Target gene experiment description: These results demonstrate that the enhancer region may regulate expression of CARLo-5 by direct interaction with the active regulatory 5? promoter region of CARLo-5.These results suggest that the cancer-associated variant rs6983267 in MYC enhancer could regulate CARLo-5 expression through long-range interaction with the active regulatory region of its promoter.

About Function

Enhancer function : The MYC Enhancer region physically interacts with the active regulatory region of the CARLo-5 promoter, suggesting long-range interaction of MYC Enhancer with the CARLo-5 promoter regulates CARLo-5 expression.
Enhancer function experiment: 3C,qRT-PCR,siRNA
Enhancer function
experiment description:
We also found the MYC enhancer region physically interacts with the active regulatory region of the CARLo-5 promoter, suggesting long-range interaction of MYC enhancer with the CARLo-5 promoter regulates CARLo-5 expression. Finally, we demonstrate that CARLo-5 has a function in cell-cycle regulation and tumor development.
