About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0913
Species: human
Position : chr7:116374406-116376406
Biosample name:
Experiment class : Low throughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Melanoma
Pubmed ID:  24443471
Enhancer experiment: 3C,ChIP
Enhancer experiment description: Chromosome conformation capture (3C)was performed in COLO829 cells in the presence or absence of PLX4032 using the MET +63-kb enhancer as an anchor region. We observed that BRAF inhibition strikingly increased the interaction between the MET +63-kb enhancer and the MET TSS, demonstrating that this lineage-specific enhancer undergoes inducible chromatin looping in response to oncogene withdrawal in melanoma cells.

About Target gene

Target gene : MET(AUTS9,DFNB97,HGFR,RCCP2,c-Met)
Strong evidence: 3C
Less strong evidence: ChIP
Target gene experiment description: Chromosome conformation capture (3C)was performed in COLO829 cells in the presence or absence of PLX4032 using the MET +63-kb Enhancer as an anchor region.We observed that BRAF inhibition strikingly increased the interaction between the MET +63-kb Enhancer and the MET TSS.

About TF

TF name : MITF(CMM8,COMMAD,MI,WS2,WS2A,bHLHe32)
TF experiment: ChIP-seq,3C
TF experiment description: To test the necessity of MITF for inducible chromatin looping between the MET +63-kb Enhancer and MET TSS in response to BRAF inhibition, 3C was performed in COLO829 cells in the presence or absence of PLX4032 and MITF depletion.

About Function

Enhancer function : This enhancer displays inducible chromatin looping with the MET promoter to up-regulate MET expression upon BRAF inhibition.
Enhancer function experiment: ChIP,3C
Enhancer function
experiment description:
ChIP and 3C analysis were performed on wild-type or Enhancer-edited cells treated with PLX4032.A significant decrease in both H3K27 acetylation,a histone modification associated with active Enhancer state,and Enhancer-promoter chromatin looping was observed in Enhancer-edited cells.
