Ewing's sarcoma, one of the most malignant tumors of children and young adults, expresses specific chimeric genes, e.g. EWS-FLI-1, EWS-ERG, EWS-ETV1 and EWS-FEV. In this paper, we extensively characterized a new fusion gene, EWS-EIAF by means of whole cDNA sequencing, RNA blot analysis, DNA blot analysis and chromosomal analysis, and showed it to be available for the diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma and to participate in the oncogenesis of Ewing's sarcoma. Furthermore, we conducted a genetic analysis of Ewing family tumors in conjunction with immunohistochemical analysis and ultrastructural analysis. Our results demonstrate some limitations of both genetic analysis and histopathological analysis, and establish the relationship between neurogenic phenotypes and chimera genes.
尤因肉瘤是儿童和青年中最恶性的肿瘤之一,它表达特定的嵌合基因,例如EWS-FLI-1、EWS-ERG、EWS-ETV1和EWS-FEV。在本文中,我们通过全cDNA测序、RNA印迹分析、DNA印迹分析和染色体分析对一种新的融合基因EWS-EIAF进行了广泛的表征,并表明它可用于尤因肉瘤的诊断并参与尤因肉瘤的肿瘤发生。此外,我们结合免疫组织化学分析和超微结构分析对尤因家族性肿瘤进行了遗传分析。我们的结果显示了遗传分析和组织病理学分析的一些局限性,并建立了神经源性表型与嵌合基因之间的关系。
