EWS/FLI1 Target Genes and Therapeutic Opportunities in Ewing Sarcoma
Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive bone malignancy that affect children and young adults. Ewing sarcoma is the second most common primary bone malignancy in pediatric patients. Although significant progress has been made in the treatment of Ewing sarcoma since it was first described in the 1920s, in the last decade survival rates have remained unacceptably invariable, thus pointing to the need for ...
متن کاملAdenovirus E1A does not induce the Ewing tumor-associated gene fusion EWS-FLI1.
Rearrangement of the EWS gene with FLI1 is thought to occur early in the pathogenesis of Ewing's sarcoma family tumors (EFTs) because the chromosomal aberration is pathognomonic for this disease. Recently, adenovirus (Ad) 5 E1A protein has been reported to induce this gene rearrangement in a variety of cell types. This finding, if generally substantiated, not only suggests an etiological role f...
متن کاملMiR-30a-5p suppresses tumor growth in colon carcinoma by targeting DTL.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in different biological processes by suppressing target gene expression. Altered expression of miR-30a-5p has been reported in colon carcinoma. To elucidate its potential biological role in colon cancer, miR-30a-5p was overexpressed via a lentiviral vector system in two different colon cancer cell lines. This induced in both lines m...
متن کاملCD99 engagement: an effective therapeutic strategy for Ewing tumors.
CD99 is a Mr 32,000 transmembrane molecule that shows a high level of expression on cells of the hemopoietic system as well as on Ewing tumor cells. Within the hematopoietic system, CD99 has been implicated in cell adhesion and cell death, participating in this way in the differentiation of T-cell precursors. In this study, we demonstrate that engagement of CD99 significantly inhibits the in vi...
متن کاملBET bromodomain inhibitors suppress EWS-FLI1-dependent transcription and the IGF1 autocrine mechanism in Ewing sarcoma
Ewing sarcoma is driven by characteristic chromosomal translocations between the EWSR1 gene with genes encoding ETS family transcription factors (EWS-ETS), most commonly FLI1. However, direct pharmacological inhibition of transcription factors like EWS-FLI1 remains largely unsuccessful. Active gene transcription requires orchestrated actions of many epigenetic regulators, such as the bromodomai...
