The Human Cytomegalovirus Strain DB Activates Oncogenic Pathways in Mammary Epithelial Cells
28 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establishes a persistent life-long infection and increasing evidence indicates HCMV infection can modulate signaling pathways associated with oncogenesis. Breast milk is an important route of HCMV transmission in humans and we hypothesized that mammary epithelial cells could be one of the main cellular targets of HCMV infection. METHODS: The infectivity of primary human...
