The cover for issue 40 of Oncotarget features Figure 5, "miR-210 silences the proapoptosis member CASP8AP2," by Kling, et al. which reported that hypoxic Ewing's sarcoma cells release exosomes that promote sphere formation, a stem-like phenotype, in EWS cells by enhancing survival. Analysis of the hypoxic exosomal miRNA cargo identified a HIF-1α regulated miRNA, miR-210, as a potential mediator of sphere formation in cells exposed to hypoxic exosomes. The knockdown of HIF-1α in hypoxic EWS cells led to decreased exosomal miR-210 levels and reduced the capacity of hypoxic exosomes to form spheres. Inhibition of miR-210 in hypoxic spheres attenuated sphere formation and overexpression of miR-210 in normoxic spheres significantly enhanced the number of EWS spheres. Together, the findings in this Oncotarget study suggest that hypoxic exosomes promote stemness in EWS cells by delivering enriched miR-210 that is capable of down-regulating apoptotic pathways, resulting in the survival of cells with increased sphere formation. Dr. Shantaram S. Joshi from The University of Nebraska Medical Center said, "Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) is an aggressive and highly malignant bone tumor that develops in children and adolescents." HIF -1α has been demonstrated to regulate tumor formation and stem cell survival in hypoxic cancer cells by inhibiting apoptosis. Emerging evidence indicates intercellular communication between tumor cells in hypoxic and normoxic regions contributes to functional differences associated with hypoxic tumors. Other reports demonstrated that shCD99 EWS-derived exosomes could transfer enriched miR-34a to recipient EWS cells and stimulate neural differentiation while in another study, EWS-derived exosomes carrying EZH2 mRNA could be delivered intact to mesenchymal stem cells. Studies in other cancer models investigating the role of hypoxic exosomes have provided insight into how hypoxic tumors can secrete exosomes that propagate an aggressive phenotype in cells outside the hypoxic niche. Exosomes released from hypoxic prostate cancer cells enhanced sphere formation in normoxic cells, but the authors were unable to elucidate a mechanism describing how hypoxic exosomes promote stemness in normoxic cells. The Joshi Research Team concluded in their Oncotarget Research Paper that this study describes a mechanism whereby EWS cells under hypoxic conditions release exosomes that enhance stemness in EWS cells. The authors identified a hypoxia regulated miRNA significantly expressed in hypoxic cells and HypoxicEXO and characterized a potential target that facilitates an apoptotic pathway critical to sphere formation. Ongoing studies are investigating the role of HIF-1α on regulating EWS stemness and together, the authors future aim is to investigate how HIF-1α selectively modulates the packaging of miRNAs into HypoxicEXO, and validate additional miRNAs that promote aggressive hypoxic phenotypes.

Understanding others perspectives is critical to thrive in this world. - Paul Long How does optimism move us towards strength? This week, motivational speaker Paul Long discusses “What’s Good?!” Paul travels the world delivering high-content keynotes and training to Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and trade associations. Paul is the author of the F.U.N. work book, podcast host, and president of Noah’s Bandage Project. In this episode, Dr. Robin and Paul discuss his acronym for F.U.N., inspiring story of pediatric cancer, and how to gravitate towards what gives us strength. About Paul Long Paul Long is a motivational speaker and consultant that has challenged the corporate landscape for over a decade. Paul has provided memorable experiences for countless engagements including workshops, trade shows, keynotes and more. Paul Long’s Fundamism philosophy can be defined as the fundamentals of a F.U.N. and optimistic lifestyle. Paul's offering provides tactical skills on how to gravitate more towards the things that give you strength, as opposed to the things that don’t. Doing so will provide you more FUN, joy and fulfillment in life. As the Kansas City Royals’ 2016 Fan of the Year as selected by Major League Baseball, his shenanigans have been featured in media outlets like ESPN, the Washington Post and even the Wall Street Journal! In 2014, his catsuit adventures led Paul to Noah Wilson, a seven year old boy diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. Motivated by Noah’s presence and love for life, he began his lifelong commitment to help find a cure for pediatric cancer through Noah’s Bandage Project.

David Arthur, CEO, Salarius Pharmaceuticals explains the role of our epigenome and what happens when someone is suffering from an epigenetic illness such as Ewing's sarcoma. A whole series of cancers can trace their cause back to the body misreading genes and that leads to dysregulation of genetic expression. With few options to treat Ewing's sarcoma, a rare orphan pediatric disease, Salarius is testing a new treatment that can provide hope to patients by inhibiting the LSD1 enzyme and effectively addressing the dysregulation. @salariuspharma #ewingsarcoma #ewingssarcoma #rarediseases Salariuspharma.com Listen to the podcast here

News that we do not expect nor want to hear, the Flyers community was struck hard with Oskar Lindblom being diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. We send our thoughts and prayers out to Oskar, his family, and the Flyers in this difficult process. We will also go over the past games against the Avalanche and the Minnesota Wild.
This week is our one year anniversary! They said it couldn't be done... or shouldn't, I can't really remember now... to celebrate, we cover some annoyed tennis people, an excited referee, people confused by sweets and a bloke serving dinner near some mud. We then cover off the mandatory football and cricket, as well as the exciting basketball, as well as playing everybody's favourite game. Then we hear about an unusual way to win a race.To donate to young Harry Shaw's foundation against Ewing's Sarcoma, here's the link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/harrysgiantpledge.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/backseatcoaches)

Melissa Smith is 17 years old and in grade 12. At the end of her grade 10 year she was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma in her right leg, which is an aggressive bone cancer. She faced many complications and delays throughout her treatment, but is grateful she was able to keep her leg and is currently in remission. Despite her difficult year, Melissa continues to remain optimistic and to strive to bless the lives of others...

Stephanie Zimmerman has been through a lot. Being diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma at a young age, she didn't quite understand how it could effect her in the long term. Later in life she needed a heart transplant because of her treatment as a child. Her story is powerful, and a testament to how the support of friends and family, and the uplifting thoughts written on note cards, can make a big difference.

October 18, 2011 Host Dr. Tim Cripe and co-host Dr. Lionel Chow welcome special guest Dr. Jeff Toretsky on TWiPO to discuss his clinical and research interest in Ewing's sarcoma. Dr. Toretsky explains the challenges of developing a clinical grade drug from a small molecule for a specific target such as EWS-FLI1. The small market for a disease like Ewing's creates formidable hurdles for researchers, yet Dr. Toretsky is driven on by the question "If I don't do this, who will?" (17:54 mins) Dr. Jeff Toretsky is Professor of Oncology and Pediatrics at Georgetown University. He graduated with BS in Biochemistry from University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, and recieved his MD from University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN. He completed fellowship training at the NCI Pediatric Branch. Please send any questions or comments to twipo@solvingkidscancer.org
By combining two drugs, researchers shrank tumors in some patients with treatment-resistant Ewing's sarcoma, a cancer that primarily affects the bones.
