Coordinated loss of microRNA group causes defenseless signaling in malignant lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Biological robustness is exposed to stochastic perturbations, which should be controlled by intrinsic mechanisms; the promiscuous signaling network without appropriate alleviation is the true nature of cancer cells. B cell receptor (BCR) signaling is a major source of gene expression signature important for B cell. It is still unclear the mechanism by which the expression of functionally important genes is continuously deregulated in malignant lymphomas. Using RISC-capture assay, we reveal that multiple BCR signaling factors are persistently regulated by microRNA (miRNA) in human B cells. Clinical samples from patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, n = 83) show loss of an essential miRNA set (miR-200c, miR-203, miR-31). Conventional screening and RISC profiling identify multip
