Abstract
This study aims to explore the roles and mechanisms of new candidates for therapeutic targeting in Ewing Sarcoma. Ewing Sarcoma is an aggressive pediatric malignancy of the bone and soft tissue, driven by EWS/Ets oncogenic fusions and characterized by high propensity for metastasis and poor clinical outcomes. We have identified the Jumonji-domain histone demethylase (JHDM) KDM3A as a novel tumor and metastasis promoter downstream of EWS/Fli1, the most common driver in this disease. Moreover, we have identified the cell surface protein, Melanoma Cell Adhesion Molecule (MCAM), as a potential ...
