B cell physiopathology (Yebenes VG)
Functional contribution of microRNAs to oncogenic B cell transformation.
- To characterize molecular mechanisms underlying the tumor-suppressor properties of miR-28, a GC-specific miRNA whose expression is reduced in several types of primary B cell lymphomas that originate in GC B cells, including the aggressive Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).
- To determine the impact of AID mutagenic activity on miRNA repertoire and its contribution to mature B cell transformation by promoting the escape from miRNA posttranscriptional gene expression regulation.
