Other current findings have implied that LMP1 is also involved in the fibroblast growth factor 2 and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGF2/FGFR1) pathway activity, which can also contribute to the increase of aerobic glycolysis in the EBV-infected epithelial, and in turn lead them to evolve in NPC (Lo et al., 2015). This evidence concerns the gene FGFR1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
