The oncogenic role of Epstein–Barr virus‐encoded micro RNA s in Epstein–Barr virus‐associated gastric carcinoma
9 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is detected in various epithelial malignancies, such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and gastric cancer (GC). EBV comprises some unique molecular features and encodes viral genes and microRNAs (miRNAs) by its own DNA sequence. EBV genes are required to maintain latency and contribute to oncogenic property. miRNAs encoded by EBV have been shown to contribute to initiation and...
