Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein-1 effects on junctional plakoglobin and induction of a cadherin switch.
Latent membrane protein-1 (LMP1) is considered the major oncoprotein of Epstein-Barr virus and is frequently expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). LMP1 promotes growth and migration of epithelial cells, and the loss of plakoglobin has been identified as a contributing factor to LMP1-induced migration. Plakoglobin is a junctional protein that can also serve as a transcription factor in Tc...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus regulates STAT1 through latent membrane protein 1.
This study shows a mechanism for the increase of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) in Epstein-Barr virus-immortalized cells. Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP-1) expression was sufficient to induce STAT1 expression, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity. LMP-1-expressing cells can induce an increase in STAT1 expression in LMP-negative cells in the same culture, suggest...
متن کاملLatent membrane protein 1 inhibits Epstein-Barr virus lytic cycle induction and progress via different mechanisms.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a potent growth-transforming agent of human B cells. It has previously been shown that viral latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is essential for EBV-induced transformation of normal B cells and contributes to maintenance of latency in vitro. Using the EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma line P3HR1-c16, which lacks LMP1 during latency and which can readily be activated into...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in epithelial cells by Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) induces human B cell transformation and is closely associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The expression of an EBV latent membrane protein, LMP-1, protects B cells from apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of a cellular oncogene, bcl-2. LMP-1 also transforms rodent fibroblasts and affects the differentiation, morphology and growth of human and rodent epithelial ...
متن کاملLatent Membrane Protein 1 Is a Novel Determinant of Epstein-Barr Virus Genome Persistence and Reactivation
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous gammaherpesvirus that persistently infects humans, with nearly 95% seropositivity in adults. Infection in differentiating epithelia is permissive, but EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumors harbor a clonal and nonproductive latent infection. However, in explanted NPC cultures and epithelial cell lines, episomal EBV genomes are frequently lo...
