Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a causative agent of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and EBV gene expression is considered to be closely associated with the pathogenesis of NPC. Among EBV genes expressed in NPC, EBV-encoded non-polyadenylated RNAs, termed EBERs, are the most abundant transcripts of EBV in NPC. However, the role of EBERs still remains unclear. This study was designed to investigate the relevance of EBERs to the oncogenesis of NPC.
