Abstract
We have developed an algorithm for the prediction of dual-targeting short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in which both strands are deliberately designed to separately target different mRNA transcripts with complete complementarity. An advantage of this approach versus the use of two separate duplexes is...

Abstract
We report that stimulation of DAOY with HGF resulted in the protection of these cells against etoposide-induced apoptosis, this anti-apoptotic effect being correlated with an increase in the expression of tissue factor (TF), the initiator of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. HGF-mediated protect...

Abstract
We thus hypothesized that one function of CD40 signaling from T cells within this timeframe could be to modulate BCL6 activity. CD40 signaling rapidly disrupts the ability of BCL6 to recruit the SMRT corepressor complex by excluding it from the nucleus, leading to histone acetylation, RNA polymerase...

Abstract
The B-cell lymphoma 6 transcriptional repressor is the most commonly involved oncogene in B-cell lymphomas. Sustained expression of B-cell lymphoma 6 causes malignant transformation of germinal center B cells. Understanding the mechanism of action of B-cell lymphoma 6 is crucial for the study of how...

Abstract
We describe how NFkappaB activity is increased after BCL6 silencing by shRNA in DLBCL cells, leading us to propose that BCL6 represses NFkappaB activity. We also demonstrate that this repression is brought about by a mechanism involving protein-protein interaction between BCL6 and NFkappaB members,...

Abstract
B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp-1) is a key regulator for plasma cell differentiation. Prior to the terminal differentiation into plasma cells, Blimp-1 expression is suppressed in B cells by transcription repressors BTB and CNC homology 2 (Bach2) and B cell lymphoma 6 (Bcl6). Bach2...

Abstract
We have identified a 17 residue motif from BCOR that binds directly to the BCL6 BTB domain and determined the crystal structure of the complex to a resolution of 2.6 A. Remarkably, the BCOR BCL6 binding domain (BCOR(BBD)) peptide binds in the same BCL6 binding site as the SMRT(BBD) peptide despite t...

Abstract
We focus on the role that NF-kappaB plays in the germinal center (GC) reaction. Specifically, we discuss the major NF-kappaB subunits and the IkappaB homolog, Bcl-3. Recent findings reveal that Bcl-6, an unrelated transcriptional repressor, is functionally similar to Bcl-3 as both factors may suppre...

Abstract
We explored relationships between translocations status and clinical or histological parameters at diagnosis in 182 patients stratified in four groups: BCL2-/BCL6-, BCL2+/BCL6-, BCL2-/BCL6+ and BCL2+/BCL6+. BCL2-/BCL6- and BCL2+/BCL6-. Double negative cases were ascribed to lower histological grades...

Abstract
We show that BCL6 can directly bind to a DNA consensus element in the CHEK1 promoter and repress its expression in normal and malignant B-cells. DLBCL cells can be killed by a specific BCL6 peptide inhibitor (BPI) that interferes with corepressor binding to the BCL6 BTB domain. BPI could reactivate...

Abstract
We report that BCL6 and MTA3 are coexpressed in normal germinal center B cells and DLBCL. Depletion of MTA3 in DLBCL cells induced a differentiation-related BCL6 target gene (PRDM1), but not target genes involved in survival. Accordingly, MTA3 and PRDM1 expression are mutually exclusive in germinal...

CD10 was more homogeneously expressed, and TMA results corresponded better to WTS. Consequently, the resul...
