Latent membrane protein 1 encoded by Epstein–Barr virus induces telomerase activity via p16<sup>INK4A</sup>/Rb/E2F1 and JNK signaling pathways
27 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Elevated telomerase activity is observed in about 90% of human cancers. This activity correlates strictly with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Previously, it was shown that the Epstein-Barr virus-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) induced telomerase activity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. In this study, it was indicated that LMP1 inhibited p16(INK4A) expression, promoted phosphorylation...
