AbstractPurpose: EBV has been associated with nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC). In North Africa, the incidence is bimodal - the first peak occurring at ∼20 years of age and the second peak occurring at ∼50 years. Standard diagnostic tests based on immunofluorescence using anti-IgA EBV have shown that young North African patients have a negative serology compared with older patients. We are interested in two EBV-encoded oncoproteins, LMP1 and BARF1, which have thus far not been studied in terms of their potential as diagnostic markers for NPC. These two viral oncoproteins have been detected in cell culture media, so we tested whether they could be detected in the serum and saliva of patients with NPC. Experimental Design: LMP1 and BARF1 proteins were analyzed in the sera and saliva of young patients and adult patients with NPC from North Africa and China. We then examined whether the secreted proteins had biological activity by analyzing their mitogenic activity. Results: Both LMP1 and BARF1 were present in the serum and saliva from North African and Chinese patients with NPC. All young North African patients secreted both proteins, whereas 62% and 100% of adult patients secreted LMP1 and BARF1, respectively. From animal studies, the secreted LMP1 was associated with exosome-like vesicles. These secreted EBV oncoproteins showed a powerful mitogenic activity in B cells. Conclusion: Both proteins will be a good diagnostic marker for NPC whereas BARF1 is a particularly promising marker for all ages of patients with NPC. Their mitogenic activity suggests their implication in the oncogenic development of NPC. © 2007 American Association for Cancer Research.
