Epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes during in vitro Epstein–Barr virus infection
31 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
DNA-methylation at CpG islands is one of the prevalent epigenetic alterations regulating gene-expression patterns in mammalian cells. Hypo- or hypermethylation-mediated oncogene activation, or tumor suppressor gene (TSG) silencing mechanisms, widely contribute to the development of multiple human cancers. Furthermore, oncogenic viruses, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated human cancers, were also shown...
