Popis: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven B-cell lymphoma characterized by the translocation and rearrangement of the c-Myc proto-oncogene. High-intensity multidrug chemotherapy regimens have a limited effect on the survival of refractory or relapsed BL patients, mainly owing to the high EBV load and drug resistance. l-asparaginase ( l-Asp) and etoposide (VP-16) play a beneficial role in EBV-related lymphoproliferative diseases; however, their roles and mechanisms in BL remain unclear. In this study, we found that VP-16 inhibited BL cell proliferation and arrested the cell cycle at the G
