Enhancer experiment description: The endometrial carcinoma peak (chr. 8: 129,543,949–129,554,294) encompasses a 10-kb noncoding region that harbors a super-enhancer,as defined by the H3K27ac ChIP-seq profile of the endometrial carcinoma cell line Ishikawa, which we refer to as MYC-ECSE(MYC endometrial carcinoma super-enhancer).

About Target gene

Target gene : MYC(MRTLC,bHLHe39,c-Myc)
Strong evidence: 3C
Less strong evidence: --
Target gene experiment description: We performed chromosome conformation capture (3C) assays in A549 and Ishikawa cells and found that MYC-LASE physically interacted with the MYC promoter only in A549 cells and, reciprocally, that MYC-ECSE physically interacted with the MYC promoter only in Ishikawa cells

About Function

Enhancer function : Two distinct focal amplifications of super-enhancers 3′ to MYC in lung adenocarcinoma (MYC-LASE) and endometrial carcinoma (MYC-ECSE) are physically associated with the MYC promoter and correlate with MYC overexpression.
Enhancer function experiment: 3C,ChIP-seq
Enhancer function
experiment description:
We performed chromosome conformation capture (3C) assays in A549 and Ishikawa cells and found that MYC-LASE physically interacted with the MYC promoter only in A549 cells and, reciprocally,that MYC-ECSE physically interacted with the MYC promoter only in Ishikawa cells. In addition, tumors with amplification of MYC alone or MYC-LASE or MYC-ECSE alone had higher MYC expression than tumors lacking either amplification. These results suggest that both MYC-LASE and MYC-ECSE drive MYC expression through lineage-specific chromatin loops.
