EBV-encoded viral proteins (e.g., EBNA1, LMP1) and non-coding RNAs (miR-BARTs, miR-BHRFs, etc.)can promote tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, invasion, metastasis, immune escape, and anti-apoptosis (Price et al., 2018; E et al., 2020; Athanasiou et al., 2021; Gandhi et al., 2021; Tang and He, 2021). Here, PDLIM7 is linked to neoplasm.
