| Research Abstract |
Previously, I have reported the possible role of EWS-Fli1 chimeric protein in evasion of senescence in Ewing family tumors. In this study, to elucidate the molecular mechanism of escaping senescence of Ewing sarcoma cells mediated by EWS-Fli1, morphological and microarray analyses were performed. By 24 hours after deletion of EWS-Fli1 by siRNA, Ewing sarcoma cells displayed a flattened and enlarged morphology, which could imply a senescence-like phenotype. Microarray analysis showed that depletion of EWS-Fli1 by siRNA caused dramatic change of the mRNA expression of a large number of genes, including cell-cycle regulatory genes, in a time-dependent manner.
