    Abstract

    Suppression of the expression of antiangiogenic factors has been closely associated with multiple malignancies. Thrombospondins 1 and 2 are members of a family of angiogenic inhibitors that are regulated by several oncogenes. In this study, we investigate the role of thrombospondins in Ewing's sarcoma and their regulation by EWS/ETS fusion oncoproteins. We show that the EWS/FLI1 fusion suppresses the expression of thrombospondins in both NIH3T3 fibroblasts and Ewing's sarcoma tumor-derived cell lines. This regulation depends on an intact EWS/FLI1 DNA-binding domain and may involve direct interactions between EWS/FLI1 and thrombospondin promoter regions. Forced expression of thrombospondins in Ewing's sarcoma cell lines inhibited the rate of tumor formation in vivo and markedly decreased the number of microvessels present in the tumors. These findings suggest that thrombospondins play a biologically significant role in tumor vascularization in Ewing's sarcoma and suggest potential therapeutic strategies for future therapeutic intervention.
