EBV infection alters DNA methylation in primary human colon cells: A path to inflammation and carcinogenesis?
18 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is associated with several types of human cancers, and changes in DNA methylation are reported to contribute to viral-driven carcinogenesis, particularly in cancers of epithelial origin. In a previous study, we demonstrated that EBV infects human primary colonic cells (HCoEpC) and replicates within these cells, leading to pro-inflammatory and pro-tumorigenic effects. Notably, these...
