Integrated tumor virus genomes in transformed cells and cell lines are adjacent to MARs. Viral integrations in nonneoplastic cells, and in tumor cells in which the integration disrupted genes involved in cellular growth control, show no association with these regions. MAR-mediated effects on the expression of integrated viral oncogenes might confer a proliferative advantage to a cell and its progeny, promoting tumor development.
