YBX1 and Ewing sarcoma: Mechanistic investigations revealed that SETD8 facilitated the nuclear translocation of YBX1 through post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms, which subsequently culminated in the transcriptional upregulation of RAC3. In summary, SETD8 inhibits the apoptosis and ferroptosis of ES cells through the YBX1/RAC3 axis, which provides new insights into the mechanism of tumorigenesis of ES.
