Single-Cell Profiling of HDAC Inhibitor-Induced EBV Lytic Heterogeneity Defines Abortive and Refractory States in B Lymphoblasts. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
We therefore characterized the impact of pan-HDAC inhibitor, panobinostat, and class I HDAC inhibitor, nanatinostat, on the growth, survival, and lytic reactivation of four EBV-positive cell lines: P3HR1-ZHT BL, Jijoye BL, IBL-1 immunoblastic lymphoma, and de novo infection derived lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL). Single-cell RNA sequencing provided evidence of upregulated immune signaling pathways in this abortive lytic population. This study provides in depth characterization of lytic reactivation with a biologically relevant stimulus.
