Kaposi’s Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus Promotes Mesenchymal-to-Endothelial Transition by Resolving the Bivalent Chromatin of PROX1 Gene
2021-04-26
Abstract excerpt
Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are highly susceptible to Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection, and the infection promotes mesenchymal-to-endothelial transition (MEndT) and acquisition of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS)-like phenotypes. Increasing evidence suggests that KS may arise from KSHV-infected MSCs. To understand how KSHV induces MEndT and transforms MSCs to KS cells, we investigated the mech...
