Downregulation and forced expression of EWS-Fli1 fusion gene results in changes in the expression of G1regulatory genes

Abstract excerpt

Chromosomal translocation t(11;22)(q24:q12) is detected in approximately 90% of tumours of the Ewing family (ET). This translocation results in EWS-Fli1 gene fusion which produces a EWS-Fli1 fusion protein acting as an aberrant transcriptional activator. We previously reported that the inhibition of EWS-Fli1 expression caused the G(0)/G(1)arrest of ET cells. We, therefore, hypothesized that EWS-Fli1 may affect...
