About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_126
Enhancer symbol: --
Species: Human
Position : chr5:172648612-172649177
Biosample name: Leukocytes
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Congenital Heart Disease
DO: DOID:1682
Mesh: D006330
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  23644027
Enhancer experiment: PCR,Luciferase Reporter Assay
Enhancer experiment description: The wild type and variant upstream enhancers (566 bp) were generated with PCR, and then subcloned into BamHI and SalI sites of a luciferase gene expression vector with human NKX2-5 gene promoter, which has been previously reportedll expression constructs were confirmed by direct sequencing.HEK-293 cells were cultured in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum,1% glutamine and 1% penicillin/streptomycin under 5% CO2 at 37 °C.

About Target gene

Target gene : NKX2-5(CHNG5,CSX,CSX1,HLHS2,NKX2.5,NKX2E,NKX4-1,VSD3)
Strong evidence: --
Less strong evidence: PCR,Luciferase Reporter Assay
Target gene experiment description: To determine the effects of the DSVs on transcriptional activity of the enhancer, wild type and variant enhancers were subcloned upstream to the NKX2-5 gene promoter in the luciferase gene expression vector, which has been previously constructed and reported,to generate expression constructs pGL3-WT, pGL3-17483557Ins,pGL3-17483564T and pGL3-17483576G. These constructs were then transiently transfected into HEK-293 cells and luciferase activities were measured. The results were shown in Fig. 2. Expression levels of pGL3-17483564T and pGL3-17483576G were significantly decreased compared to pGL3-WT.

About Function

Enhancer function : The DSVs within the upstream Enhancer of the NKX2-5 gene may contribute to a small number of VSD.
Enhancer function experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay
Enhancer function
experiment description:
To determine the effects of the DSVs on transcriptional activity of the Enhancer,wild type and variant Enhancers were subcloned upstream to the NKX2-5 gene promoter in the Luciferase gene expression vector,which has been previously constructed and reported. Collectively, these results indicated that the activity of the upstream enhancer of the NKX2-5 gene was decreased by the DSVs g.17483564C>T and g.17483576C>G.
