“…Four EBV genes can regulate miR-155 expression -the latent membrane proteins 1 and 2a (LMP1 and LMP2a) and the EBV nuclear antigens 2 and 3C (EBNA2 and EBNA3C; 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). These EBV latent genes co-operatively regulate miR-155 expression by activating host cell signaling pathways and transcription factors, such as NF-κB (Gatto et al, 2008;Rahadiani et al, 2008;Yin et al, 2016), p38 (Rahadiani et al, 2008), IRF4 (Wang et al, 2011;Wood et al, 2018), and AP-1 (Gatto et al, 2008;Rahadiani et al, 2008;Yin et al, 2008Yin et al, , 2016, by activating expression of other latent EBV genes (Wood et al, 2018) or by directly interacting with the regulatory regions of the miR-155 host gene (miR-155HG; Wood et al, 2018). For example, EBNA2 regulates expression of miR-155HG both directly, by binding an enhancer region upstream of the miR-155HG locus, and indirectly, by upregulating the expression of LMP1 and the transcription factor IRF4 (Wood et al, 2018).…”
