BHRF1 Enhances EBV Mediated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Tumorigenesis through Modulating Mitophagy Associated with Mitochondrial Membrane Permeabilization Transition
7 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a major contributor to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumorigenesis. Mitochondria have been shown to be a target for tumor viral invasion, and to mediate viral tumorigenesis. In this study, we detected that mitochondrial morphological changes in tumor tissues of NPC patients infected with EBV were accompanied by an elevated expression of BHRF1, an EBV encoded protein homologue to...
