“…Finally, LMP1 is one of four EBV genes, including LMP2a, EBNA2, and EBNA3C, which have been demonstrated to regulate miR-155 expression (Gatto et al, 2008;Lu et al, 2008;Rahadiani et al, 2008;Yin et al, 2008Yin et al, , 2016Du et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2011;Wood et al, 2018). Collectively, our data and that of Wang et al suggest additions to the model proposed by Wood et al, where EBNA2A directly regulates miR-155HG expression and indirectly regulates miR-155HG expression through the upregulation of both LMP1 and IRF4 (Wood et al, 2018). In this updated model, LMP1 can then activate or support miR-155 expression in the following ways: by PI3K p110α activation of IRF4 (Wang et al, 2011;Wood et al, 2018), by NF-κB activation (Gatto et al, 2008;Rahadiani et al, 2008;Yin et al, 2016), by p38 activation (Rahadiani et al, 2008), and by AP-1 activation (Gatto et al, 2008;Rahadiani et al, 2008;Yin et al, 2008Yin et al, , 2016.…”
