Summary of selected drugs and small molecules and their effects on EWS::FLI1 and its gene signatures.
| Treatment | Drug target or function | Effect on EWS::FLI1 expression | Effect on EWS::FLI1 targets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mithramycin (143) | Binds GC rich regions | Does not alter expression | Disrupts signature, reduces activated targets |
| ARA-C (144) | Nucleoside analog | Reduces EWS::FLI1 protein expression | Disrupts signature, partly mimics EWS::FLI1 knockdown |
| Doxorubicin (144) | Standard of care chemotherapy, topoisomerase II poison | Reduces EWS::FLI1 protein expression | Disrupts signature, partly mimics EWS::FLI1 knockdown |
| Trabectidin (148) | DNA binding, transcriptional interference | Does not alter expression | Disrupts signature |
| YK-4-279 (147, 171) | Interrupts RNA helicase A binding | Does not alter expression | Disrupts signature |
| Rapamycin (146) | mTOR inhibitor | Reduces EWS::FLI1 expression | Disrupts signature |
| HDACi (multiple drugs) (37, 58, 155, 156) | HDAC inhibitors | Yes or no, depending on drug and dose | Can disrupt or reverse signature |
| JQ1 (73, 151) | Bromodomain inhibitor | Reduces EWS::FLI1 expression | Can disrupt or reverse signature, partly mimics EWS::FLI1 knockdown |
| HCI2509 (49, 72) | LSD1 inhibitor | NR | Can disrupt or reverse signature, partly mimics EWS::FLI1 knockdown |
| JIB-04 | Histone demethylase inhibitor | Increases EWS::FLI1 expression | Can disrupt or reverse signature, partly mimics EWS::FLI1 knockdown |
