Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that human herpesvirus 6A infects papillary thyroid cancer cells (BCPAP), inducing molecular changes compatible with a tumor-promoting phenotype, including increased expression of R273H mutant TP53 (mutp53), upregulation of c-Myc, and enhanced secretion of IL-6. To investigate whether and how epigenetic mechanisms contribute to these virus-induced effects, we examined the histone...
