<i>HOTAIR</i> primes the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors for tumorigenesis via epigenetic dysregulation involving LSD1
2018-01-08
Abstract excerpt
The EWS-FLI1 fusion protein drives oncogenesis in the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) in humans, but its toxicity in normal cells requires additional cellular events for oncogenesis. We show that the lncRNA HOTAIR maintains cell viability in the presence of EWS-FLI1 and redirects epigenetic regulation in ESFT. HOTAIR is consistently overexpressed in ESFTs and is not driven by EWS-FLI1. Repression of HOTAI...
