From virus to cancer: Epstein-Barr virus miRNA connection in Burkitt's lymphoma.
In Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), Epstein-Barr virus-encoded microRNAs (EBV miRNAs) are emerging as crucial regulatory agents that impact cellular and viral gene regulation. This review investigates the multifaceted functions of EBV miRNAs in the pathogenesis of Burkitt lymphoma. EBV miRNAs regulate several cellular processes that are essential for BL development, such as apoptosis, immune evasion, and cellular proliferation. These small, non-coding RNAs target both viral and host mRNAs, finely adjusting the cellular environment to favor oncogenesis. Prominent miRNAs, such as BART (BamHI-A rightward transcript) and BHRF1 (BamHI fragment H rightward open reading frame 1), are emphasized for their roles in tumor growth and immune regulation. For example, BART miRNAs prevent apoptosis by suppressing pro-apoptotic proteins, whereas BHRF1 miRNAs promote viral latency and immunological evasion. Understanding the intricate connections among EBV miRNAs and their targets illuminates BL pathogenesis and suggests novel treatment approaches. Targeting EBV miRNAs or their specific pathways offers a feasible option for developing innovative therapies that aim to disrupt the carcinogenic processes initiated by these viral components. future studies should focus on precisely mapping miRNA‒target networks and developing miRNA-based diagnostic and therapeutic tools. This comprehensive article highlights the importance of EBV miRNAs in Burkitt lymphoma, indicating their potential as biomarkers and targets for innovative treatment strategies.
期刊介绍：
Infectious Agents and Cancer is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that encompasses all aspects of basic, clinical, epidemiological and translational research providing an insight into the association between chronic infections and cancer.
The journal welcomes submissions in the pathogen-related cancer areas and other related topics, in particular:
• HPV and anogenital cancers, as well as head and neck cancers;
• EBV and Burkitt lymphoma;
• HCV/HBV and hepatocellular carcinoma as well as lymphoproliferative diseases;
• HHV8 and Kaposi sarcoma;
• HTLV and leukemia;
• Cancers in Low- and Middle-income countries.
The link between infection and cancer has become well established over the past 50 years, and infection-associated cancer contribute up to 16% of cancers in developed countries and 33% in less developed countries.
Preventive vaccines have been developed for only two cancer-causing viruses, highlighting both the opportunity to prevent infection-associated cancers by vaccination and the gaps that remain before vaccines can be developed for other cancer-causing agents. These gaps are due to incomplete understanding of the basic biology, natural history, epidemiology of many of the pathogens that cause cancer, the mechanisms they exploit to cause cancer, and how to interrupt progression to cancer in human populations. Early diagnosis or identification of lesions at high risk of progression represent the current most critical research area of the field supported by recent advances in genomics and proteomics technologies.
