Our study first demonstrated that miR-4721 as an oncogene is induced by EBV-miR-BART22 via modulating PI3K/AKT/c-JUN/Sp1 signaling to target GSK3β, which thus activates the WNT/β-catenin-stimulated cell cycle signal and enhances the tumorigenic capacity in NPC. Here, SP1 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
