Subsequently, we have shown that EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) are responsible for these phenotypes. We constantly observed the upregulation of bcl-2 oncoprotein expression upon EBV infection and expression of EBERs. To test whether these phenotypes were due to the upregulation of bcl-2 expression, we introduced bcl-2 into EBV-negative Akata cells at various levels encompassing the range at which EBV-positive cells expressed it. As cells expressed bcl-2 at higher levels, they became more capable of growing in soft agarose and became resistant to apoptosis. However, clones expressing bcl-2 at a higher level than EBV-positive Akata cells were negative in the tumorigenesis assay in the SCID mouse. On the other hand, introduction of bax into EBV-positive Akata cells reduced the resistance to apoptosis; however, it failed to reduce the growth capability in soft agarose. These data indicate that EBV targets not only bcl-2, but also an unknown pathway(s) to enhance the oncogenic potential of Akata cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jvi.75.3.1561-1564.2001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T09:58:35Z","timestamp":1027763915000},"page":"1561-1564","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Role of bcl-2 in Epstein-Barr Virus-Induced Malignant Conversion of Burkitt's Lymphoma Cell Line Akata"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Komano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 1-->Department of Tumor Virology, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, Kita-ku, Sapporo 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenzo","family":"Takada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--label omitted: 1-->Department of Tumor Virology, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, Kita-ku, Sapporo 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"1915","article-title":"Constitutive c-myc expression in an IL-3-dependent myeloid cell line suppresses cell cycle arrest and accelerates apoptosis","volume":"6","author":"Askew D.
