Pathobiologic Roles of Epstein–Barr Virus-Encoded MicroRNAs in Human Lymphomas
12 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a human γ-herpesvirus implicated in several human malignancies, including a wide range of lymphomas. Several molecules encoded by EBV in its latent state are believed to be related to EBV-induced lymphomagenesis, among which microRNAs—small RNAs with a posttranscriptional regulating role—are of great importance. The genome of EBV encodes 44 mature microRNAs belonging to two different...
