Enhancer Control of MicroRNA miR-155 Expression in Epstein-Barr Virus-Infected B Cells
16 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNA miR-155 is expressed at high levels in many human cancers, particularly lymphomas. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects human B cells and drives the development of numerous lymphomas. Two genes carried by EBV (LMP1 and EBNA2) upregulate miR-155 expression, and miR-155 expression is required for the growth of EBV-infected B cells. We show that the EBV transcription factor EBNA2 upregulates miR-155 expression...
