Enhancer profiling uncovers Jmjd1c as an essential suppressor in neuropathic pain by targeting Socs3 by Le Zhang, Yan Xie, Shun Wang, Moxuan Gong, Zheping Chen, Chuanxin Wang, Peilong Li

“…In addition, a dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that KLF15 could activate Jmjd1c transcription by binding to the SE of Jmjd1c. Functionally, enhanced Jmjd1c can inhibit the levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and inhibited the progression of NP, whereas silencing Jmjd1c had the opposite effect. …”
