Although previous studies showed that the principal oncoprotein
encoded by Epstein-Barr virus, latent membrane protein 1(LMP1), could
induce the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells in G
2/M phase increased,
little is known about the target molecules and mechanisms. The present
study demonstrated that LMP1 could induce the accumulation of p53 protein
and upregulate its transactivity in a dose dependent manner, which resulted
in the decrease of the kinase activity of cdc2/cyclin B complex and inducing
arrest at G
2/M phase through the activation of NF-
k>B and AP-1 signaling pathways, and the effect of NF-k>B was more obvious than that of AP-1. This study provided some significant evidence
for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms that LMP1 had effects
on the surveillance mechanism of cell cycle and promoting the survival
of transformed cells and tumorigenesis.
