Previous work has shown that LMP1 is involved in multiple NPC biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, by inducing the activation of NF-κB, JAK/STAT, PKC and the MAPK signaling pathways (5) and their downstream genes including p53 and survivin (6,7). Here, PDLIM7 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
