Abstract excerpt
Histone acetylation alters the chromatin structure and activates the genes that are repressed by histone deacetylation. This investigation demonstrates that treating P3HR1 cells with trichostatin A (TSA) activates the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic cycle, allowing the virus to synthesize three viral lytic proteins-Rta, Zta and EA-D. Experimental results indicate that TSA and 12-O:-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate...
