FLI1-DHX9 interaction promotes Ewing sarcoma sensitivity to DNA topoisomerase 1 poisons by altering R-loop metabolism

FLI1 in R-loop metabolism. Our results demonstrate that EWS::FLI1 promotes R-loop formation favoring the interaction between DHX9 and elongating RNA polymerase II. In addition, we discovered that EWS::FLI1 kidnaps DHX9 preventing the resolution of TOP1 poisoning-associated R-loops. Our findings indicate that R-loops accumulation promotes replicative stress, genome instability and cell sensitivity to SN-38. Collectively, these results uncover a novel mechanism behind EwS sensitivity to genotoxic agents, with relevant implications for EwS treatment..
