The presence of Merkel cell polyomavirus is associated with deregulated expression of BRAF and Bcl‐2 genes in non‐small cell lung cancer
25 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Polyomaviruses such as BK virus (BKV), JC virus (JCV) and Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) are typically nononcogenic, although they have been detected in a variety of human neoplasms. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of the most common polyomaviruses MCPyV, BKV and JCV as well as the gene expression profile of genes involved in oncogenesis including K-ras, BRAF, RKIP, Bax, Bcl-2, p53 and RB1...
