In preclinical studies, latent membrane protein 1 of EBV (EBV-LMP1) was found to cause upregulation of mitochondrial enzymes, which includes glutaminase-1 (GLS1), isoforms of kidney-type glutaminase (KGA) and glutaminase-C (GAC) that boosts the pathogenesis of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) [10,11,12]. Here, PDLIM7 is linked to classic Hodgkin lymphoma.
