Regulation network and expression profiles of Epstein-Barr virus-encoded microRNAs and their potential target host genes in nasopharyngeal carcinomas
16 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumorigenesis. However, the mechanism(s) connecting EBV infection and NPC remain unclear. Recently, a new class of EBV microRNAs (miRNAs) has been described. To determine how EBV miRNAs control the expression of host genes, and to understand their potential role in NPC tumorigenesis, we profiled the expression of 44 mature EBV miRNAs and...
