Id1 Interacts and Stabilizes the Epstein-Barr Virus Latent Membrane Protein 1 (LMP1) in Nasopharyngeal Epithelial Cells
The EBV-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) functions as a constitutive active form of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) and activates multiple downstream signaling pathways similar to CD40 signaling in a ligand-independent manner. LMP1 expression in EBV-infected cells has been postulated to play an important role in pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, variable levels of...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 induces cancer stem/progenitor-like cells in nasopharyngeal epithelial cell lines.
Recent studies suggest the existence of cancer stem cells (CSC) and cancer progenitor cells (CPC), although strict definitions of neither CSC nor CPC have been developed. We have produced evidence that the principal oncoprotein of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), which is associated with human malignancies, especially nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), promotes tumor cel...
متن کاملEpstein-Barr Virus-Encoded Latent Membrane Protein 1 Impairs G2 Checkpoint in Human Nasopharyngeal Epithelial Cells through Defective Chk1 Activation
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common cancer in Southeast Asia, particularly in southern regions of China. EBV infection is closely associated with NPC and has long been postulated to play an etiological role in the development of NPC. However, the role of EBV in malignant transformation of nasopharyngeal epithelial cells remains enigmatic. The current hypothesis of NPC development is that...
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 کاملThe latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) oncogene of Epstein-Barr virus can simultaneously induce and inhibit apoptosis in B cells.
The latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) regulates its own expression and the expression of human genes via its two functional moieties; the transmembrane domains of LMP1 are required to regulate its expression via the unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy in B cells, and the carboxy-terminal domain of LMP1 activates cellular signaling pathways that affect cellul...
