In Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric cancer, EBV-encoded small ribonucleic acid 1(BHRF1) upregulates the expression of SNHG8, which as a sponge of miR-512-5p, leading to increased expression of TRIM28, and promoting malignant progression of the tumor (56). The gene discussed is TRIM28; the disease is neoplasm.
