摘要

Epstein–Barr virus is a double‑stranded DNA virus that plays a key role throughout the development of Burkitt lymphoma. The EBV genome encodes 44 mature microRNAs (miR‑BARTs) that collectively promote tumorigenesis. TP53, a tumor suppressor protein, prevents cancer progess by inducing cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, and modulating glycolysis. In this study, we found that miR‑BART5‑3p is highly expressed in EBV positive cells and contributes to glycolysis process. Forced expression of miR‑BART5‑3p enhanced the proliferative and migratory capacities, while downregulation of miR‑BART5‑3p led to a reduction in these capacities in Ramos and CA46. Subsequently, we demonstrated that TP53 suppressed the proliferation and migration of Burkitt lymphoma cells. Furthermore, we predicted that EBV-miR‑BART5‑3p targeted 3’‑UTR of TP53 mRNA via RNAhybrid program and the QPCR results indicated that there was a significant converse expression between EBV-miR‑BART5‑3p and TP53 in Raji cells. These results implied that EBV-miR‑BART5‑3p promoted the proliferation of Ramos and CA46 via targeting the 3’‑UTR of TP53 mRNA. Altogether, these findings define a novel mechanism for EBV-miR-BART5-3p through the glycolysis pathway in Burkitt lymphoma development.
