To further investigate the role of TRIM29 in EBV-induced NPC, human healthy airway epithelial cell line BEAS-2B cells, EBV-negative nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 cells21, and human NPC cells CNE1 were employed for stable knockdown of TRIM29 expression through the use of short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Here, TRIM29 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
