Figure 1 Epstein-Barr virus activates the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B pathway to transform cells. The Epstein-Barr virus latent proteins latent membrane protein (LMP)1 and LMP2A activate the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway, which promotes carcinogenesis by increasing cell proliferation, genomic instability and cytoskeleton changes and by decreasing apoptosis.
