Loss of SS18-SSX1 Inhibits Viability and Induces Apoptosis in Synovial Sarcoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Most synovial sarcomas contain a chromosomal translocation t(X;18), which results in the formation of an oncoprotein SS18-SSX critical to the viability of synovial sarcoma. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We (1) established and characterized three novel synovial sarcoma cell lines and asked (2) whether inhibition of SS18-SSX1 decreases cell viability in these cell lines; and (3) whether reduction in viability...
