Epstein-Barr virus strain variation and cancer
Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human tumor virus and is etiologically linked to various malignancies. Certain EBV-associated diseases, such as Burkitt lymphomas and nasopharyngeal carcinomas, are endemic and exhibit biased geographic distribution worldwide. Recent advances in deep sequencing technology enabled high-throughput sequencing of the EBV genome from clinical samples. Rapid cloning and sequencing of cancer-derived EBV genomes, followed by reconstitution of infectious virus, have also become possible. These developments have revealed that various EBV strains are differentially distributed throughout the world, and that the behavior of cancer-derived EBV strains is different from that of the prototype EBV strain of non-cancerous origin. In this review, we summarize recent progress and future perspectives regarding the association between EBV strain variation and cancer.
Keywords: Epstein-Barr virus; geographic distribution; nasopharyngeal carcinoma; sequencing; strain variation.
