We report here that SYT-SSX1 and SYT-SSX2 interact preferentially with Snail or Slug, respectively, and prevent these transcriptional repressors from binding to the proximal E-cadherin promoter as shown by coimmunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation.     ///    Luciferase reporter assays reveal that SYT-SSX1 and SYT-SSX2 can respectively overcome the Snail- or Slug-mediated repression of E-cadherin transcription.     ///    "The striking spontaneous mesenchymal to epithelial differentiation in this cancer is reminiscent of a developmental switch, but the only clue to its mechanistic basis has been the observation that most cases of synovial sarcoma with glandular epithelial differentiation (GED) contain SYT-SSX1 instead of SYT-SSX2. "    ///    SYT-SSX1 and SYT-SSX2 interfere with repression of E-cadherin by snail and slug: a potential mechanism for aberrant mesenchymal to epithelial transition in human synovial sarcoma..
