Genotoxic stress and viral infection induce transient expression of APOBEC3A and pro-inflammatory genes through two distinct pathways

The cytidine deaminase APOBEC3A is a main source of mutagenesis in many types of cancer. Here the authors reveal that transient up-regulation of APOBEC3A and other pro-inflammatory genes can occur due to viral infection and genotoxic stress via multiple pathways.
