About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_102
Enhancer symbol: --
Species: Human
Position : chr9:132491985-132492534
Biosample name: HFL-1
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Lung Cancer
DO: DOID:1324
Mesh: D008175
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  22260630
Enhancer experiment: DNaseI-seq,ChIP,RT-PCR
Enhancer experiment description: We identified two DNase I-hypersensitive sites within the proximal promoter near the Egr-1 element and a novel distal site near − 8.6 kb. Functional analysis of the distal site revealed two elements that co-operate with basal promoter expression and a stimulus-dependent enhancer.. A specific binding site for C/EBPβ (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β) in the enhancer was directly responsible for inducible enhancer activity.

About Target gene

Target gene : PTGES(MGST-IV,MGST1-L1,MGST1L1,MPGES,PGES,PIG12,PP102,PP1294,TP53I12,mPGES-1)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: DNaseI-seq,ChIP,RT-PCR
Target gene experiment description: We therefore hypothesized that, apart from the proximal promoter harbouring a potentially important Egr-1 site, there must be other cis-acting regulatory elements required to recapitulate the full cytokine-dependent induction of mPGES-1 expression. Our results demonstrate the identification and characterization of a novel IL-1β (interleukin 1β)-responsive distal enhancer element controlled through C/EBPβ (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β) which contributes to the induction of endogenous mPGES-1.

About TF

TF name : EGR1(AT225,G0S30,KROX-24,NGFI-A,TIS8,ZIF-268,ZNF225)CEBPB(C/EBP-beta,IL6DBP,NF-IL6,TCF5)
TF experiment: ChIP
TF experiment description: ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) analysis demonstrated constitutive Egr-1 binding to the promoter and induced RNA polymerase II and C/EBPβ binding to the promoter and Enhancer respectively.

About Function

Enhancer function : Interaction between Egr-1 and C/Eβ highlights the proximal promoter co-operation with a novel distal Enhancer element can regulate inducible mPGES-1 expression.
Enhancer function experiment: ChIP,RT-PCR
Enhancer function
experiment description:
Knockout/knockdown studies established a functional role for C/Eβ in mPGES-1 gene regulation and the documented interaction between Egr-1 and C/Eβ highlights the proximal promoter co-operation with a novel distal Enhancer element in regulating inducible mPGES-1 expression.
