The roles of miRNAs and lncRNAs in Epstein-Barr virus associated epithelial cell tumors.

Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is highly prevalent in the population and is known to be associated with a variety of human tumors, such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, gastric cancer, and lymphoma; however, the mechanisms of EBV carcinogenesis remain unclear. Recent studies have revealed that many non-coding RNAs participate in the regulation of proliferation, migration, invasion, and other processes in EBV-associated tumor, and the interaction between ncRNAs and the potential target genes has gradually become a research hotspot. Therefore, here, we discuss the expression and roles of ncRNAs in EBV-associated epithelial tumors.
