| Research Abstract |
In this study, we examined the effects of KSHV-associated viral gene expressions on cellular chemosensitivity to various drugs. Our results showed that vFLIP expression apparently conferred bleomycin sensitivity in HEK293 cells. Moreover, knockdown experiment for Ikappa-Balpha showed similar results, suggesting that an activation of NF-kappaB pathway contributes to the belomycin chemosensitization induced by vFLIP.
