The malignancy of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) has been linked to expression of the PAX3-FKHR chimeric gene. To understand the effect of this gene, we used RNAi to knock down its expression (without affecting the expressions of either PAX3 or FKHR) in human ARMS cell lines. Down-regulating PA...
