A microRNA Encoded by Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Promotes B-Cell Expansion In Vivo
20 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
The human gammaherpesvirus Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus is strongly linked to neoplasms of endothelial and B-cell origin. The majority of tumor cells in these malignancies are latently infected, and latency genes are consequently thought to play a critical role in virus-induced tumorigenesis. One such factor is kshv-miR-K12-11, a viral microRNA that is constitutively expressed in cell lines derived from...
