Epstein-Barr virus latency programs dynamically sensitize B-cells to ferroptosis
2022-02-21
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes 200,000 cancers annually. Upon B-cell infection, EBV induces lipid metabolism to support B-cell proliferation. Yet, little is known about how latent EBV infection, or human B-cell stimulation more generally, alter sensitivity to ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of programmed cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and membrane damage. To gain insights, we analyzed li...
