Ewing's sarcoma family tumors (ESFT) are characterized by specific chromosomal translocations, which give rise to EWS-ETS chimeric proteins. These aberrant transcription factors are the main pathogenic drivers of ESFT. Elucidation of the factors influencing EWS-ETS expression and/or activity will guide the development of novel therapeutic agents against this fatal disease.
尤因肉瘤家族肿瘤(ESFT)的特征是特定的染色体易位,这会产生EWS-ETS嵌合蛋白。这些异常转录因子是ESFT的主要致病驱动因素。阐明影响EWS-ETS表达和/或活性的因素将指导针对这种致命疾病的新型治疗药物的开发。
