About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_114
Enhancer symbol: --
Species: Human
Position : chr8:124321890-124323890
Biosample name: LNCaP
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Prostate Cancer
DO: DOID:10283
Mesh: D011471
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  22771493
Enhancer experiment: qPCR,Luciferase Reporter Assay,ChIP,EMSA,3C
Enhancer experiment description: Taken together, these data demonstrate that the poten_x0002_tial ARBS identified within the distal enhancer region of ATAD2 gene indeed interacts strongly and specifically with AR in vitro and suggest that it could be a good candidate as a functional ARBS in vivo.To ascertain whether the ARBS identified within the ATAD2 enhancer region is functional in cells in vivo, we performed ChIP using formaldehyde cross-linked LNCaP cells.

About Target gene

Target gene : ATAD2(ANCCA,CT137,PRO2000)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: ChIP,EMSA,RT-qPCR
Target gene experiment description: In addition, we analyzed chromatin immunoprecipita_x0002_tion (ChIP)-seq data from the literature to identify genes that might share the same regulation mechanism as ATAD2.With this in mind, we aimed first at checking whether ATAD2 might be a direct target gene of AR. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed ATAD3 gene response to androgens in LNCaP cells in the presence of cycloheximide (CHX), a protein synthesis inhibitor.

About TF

TF name : AR(AIS8,DHTR,HUMARA,HYSP1,KD,NR3C4,SBMA,SMAX1,TFM,AR)E2F1(E2F-1,RBAP1,RBBP3,RBP3)
TF experiment: EMSA
TF experiment description: To check the binding of AR to this putative ARBS, we first performed EMSA experiments with bacterially produced AR-DNA-binding domain (DBD) purified to homogeneity,siE2F1 and siAR transfection showed the very efficient and specific knockdown of E2F0 and AR, respectively, at both mRNA and protein levels.

About Function

Enhancer function : E2F1 interacts with AR on the promoter of ATAD2 through a chromatin loop to activate transcription when stimulated by androgens.
Enhancer function experiment: ChIP-seq,qRT-PCR,Re-ChIP
Enhancer function
experiment description:
Moreover, Re-ChIP experiments demonstrated that AR and E2F1 interact in their promoter region. This mechanism of regulation by the RB/ E2F1/AR axis might, thus, be a general mechanism for several androgen-regulated genes in prostate cells.
