Epstein–Barr virus latency programs dynamically sensitize B cells to ferroptosis
11 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
SignificanceEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) contributes to Burkitt lymphoma and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). EBV-transforming programs activate lipid metabolism to convert B cells into immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL), a PTLD model. We found that stages of EBV transformation generate lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) byproducts to varying degrees, and that a Burkitt-like phase of B...
