Abstract excerpt
Ewing family tumors (EFT), classically Ewing's sarcoma and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor, share a common class of tumor-specific fusion genes thought to be key mediators of tumor biology. Here we demonstrate that the most common Ewing's fusion, EWS/FLI1, produces transcriptional upregulation of GLI1 and its direct transcriptional target PATCHED1 in a model transformation system. This deregulation of...
