Abstract

The early stage of oncogenesis is linked to the disorder of the cell cycle. Abnormal gene expression often leads to cell cycle disorders, resulting in malignant transformation of human cells. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is associated with a diverse range of human neoplasms, such as malignant lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and gastric cancer. EBV mainly infects human lymphocytes and oropharyngeal epithelial cells. EBV is latent in lymphocytes for a long period of time, is detached from the cytoplasm by circular DNA, and can integrate into the chromosome of cells. EBV expresses a variety of latent genes during latent infection. The interaction between EBV latent genes and oncogenes leads to host cell cycle disturbances, including the promotion of G1/S phase transition and inhibition of cell apoptosis, thereby promoting the development of EBV-associated neoplasms. Molecular mechanisms of EBV-driven cell cycle progression and oncogenesis involve diverse genes and signal pathways. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of EBV-driven cell cycle progression and promoting oncogenesis.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
