About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_225
Enhancer symbol: MdE Enhancer
Species: Mouse
Position : chr1:133347574-133364574
Biosample name: As4.1,Tsukuba hypertensive mice
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Hypertension
DO: DOID:10763
Mesh: D006973
Distance from TSS: >2KB
Pubmed ID:  29358217
Enhancer experiment: Luciferase Reporter Assay,ChIP
Enhancer experiment description: Because the 17-kb sequence exhibited Enhancer activity in vivo and in vitro,we narrowed down the Enhancer to a 2.3-kb core using Luciferase assays in As4.1 cells. When this 2.3-kb sequence was removed from the endogenous mRen gene in the mouse,its basal expression was dramatically reduced,and the hypertension esponsiveness was significantly attenuated.

About Target gene

Target gene : Ren1(D19352,Ren,Ren-1,Ren-Ac,Ren1d,Rn-1,Rnr,Ren1)
Strong evidence: CRISPR/Cas9
Less strong evidence: qRT-PCR,ChIP
Target gene experiment description: While the mRen gene bearing the 3' deletion was appropriately downregulated, the one bearing the 5'deletion lost this hypertension responsiveness. Because the 17-kb sequence exhib_x0002_ited enhancer activity in vivo and in vitro, we narrowed down the enhancer to a 2.3-kb core using luciferase assays in As4.1 cells. When this 2.3-kb sequence was re_x0002_moved from the endogenous mRen gene in the mouse, its basal expression was dra_x0002_matically reduced, and the hypertension responsiveness was significantly attenuated.

About Function

Enhancer function : This finding sheds light on the unexplored distal regulatory region of the mRen gene and provides in vivo evidence that a novel 5' enhancer plays an essential role in the physiological response to an AII-induced hypertensive environment.
Enhancer function experiment: qRT-PCR
Enhancer function
experiment description:
We propose that in a hypertensive environment, the activity of this novel enhancer is attenuated, and, as a consequence, mRen gene transcription is suppressed to maintain blood pressure.
