Bortezomib promotes KHSV and EBV lytic cycle by activating JNK and autophagy

Abstract excerpt

KSHV and EBV are gammaherpesviruses strictly linked to human cancers. Even if the majority of cancer cells harbor a latent infection, the few cells that undergo viral replication may contribute to the pathogenesis and maintenance of the virus-associated malignancies.
