Abstract PR10: Inhibition of deacetylase SIRT1 offers a novel treatment option in metastatic Ewing sarcoma
2014
Abstract Metastasis is the major cause of disease-related death in Ewing sarcoma. Patients, who present with clinically overt disseminated disease at diagnosis and those who relapse early with distant metastases have a poor outcome despite multi-modal high-dose chemotherapy. Therefore, new treatment options are highly warranted. Ewing sarcoma pathogenesis is driven by the chimeric ETS oncogene EWS-FLI1. We here describe regulation of sirtuin SIRT1 by EWS-FLI1 and its role in metastasis. SIRT1 belongs to a family of NAD+-dependent group III deacetylases that target histone and non-histone proteins in response to metabolic stress resulting in widespread gene expression changes through epigene…
