The Epstein-Barr Virus Encoded BART miRNAs Potentiate Tumor Growth

English version České info

Epstein-Barr virus is a herpes virus that persistently infects essentially every human being for life. It also has the ability to latently infect B lymphocytes and cause them to proliferate indefinitely in culture, and is associated with several forms of carcinoma and lymphoma. The virus contains genes for ~30 miRNAs in its BART region. The functions of these miRNAs are mostly unknown, but it is clear that they are not required to drive the growth of infected cells in vitro. We have shown previously, however, that these miRNAs are all highly expressed in the EBV associated cancers and that their expression is deregulated suggesting they may play a role in vivo. Until now, the significance of BART miRNAs to tumor development in vivo was unknown. Here we have used a mouse xenograft model to show that these miRNAs, while having little or no discernible effect on the growth of infected cells in vitro, potentiate the seeding and growth of EBV associated tumors in vivo.
