Kaposi's sarcoma‐associated herpesviral IL‐6 and human IL‐6 open reading frames contain miRNA binding sites and are subject to cellular miRNA regulation
4 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes a viral interleukin 6 (vIL-6) that mimics many activities of human IL-6 (hIL-6). Both vIL-6 and hIL-6 play important roles in stimulating the proliferation of tumours caused by KSHV. Here, we provide evidence that a miRNA pathway is involved in regulation of vIL-6 and hIL-6 expression through binding sites in their open reading frames (ORFs). We show a direct...
