Abstract

Heart disease link to inflammatory signalling A non-coding region on chromosome 9p21 was previously shown to associate with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes, and the region has been implicated in regulating neighbouring genes. Here the authors identify 33 distinct enhancers within this region and show that single nucleotide polymorphisms in one of the enhancers affect STAT1 binding. They further show that in human vascular endothelium cells, the enhancer interval physically interacts with a number of specific loci, and that interferon-γ activation strongly affects the chromatin structure and transcriptional regulation of the 9p21 locus, including STAT1 binding, long-range enhancer interactions and expression of neighbouring genes.
