The Insulin-like Growth Factor-I Receptor Is Required for EWS/FLI-1 Transformation of Fibroblasts
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
Ewing's family of tumors is characterized by a well described reciprocal translocation, t(11;22)(q24;q12), which produces a fusion protein (EWS/FLI-1) that transforms mouse fibroblasts. The EWS/FLI-1 fusion protein has been shown to act as a potent chimeric transcription factor. Overexpression of insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) has been implicated in many tumor models as playing a role in cell...
