Abstract:
Granulocytes or Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are key players in the non-specific immune system against microbial infection as they express surface receptors for the recognition of general antigenic patterns found on pathogens. In addition PMN’s also act as a mediator for the antigen-specific adaptive immunity and T-cells function. However, an anti-tumoral role of the PMN’s was suggested over the recent years beside their well-studied innate function, opening the door for new studies in this area.

Abstract:
Ctcf is a "master regulator" of the genome that plays a role in a variety of gene regulatory functions as well as in genome architecture. Evidence from studying the epigenetic process of X-chromosome inactivation suggests that, in certain cases, Ctcf might carry out its functions through interacting with RNA. Using mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and a modified protocol for UV-crosslinking and immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq), Ctcf is found to interact with a multitude of transcripts genome-wide, both protein-coding mRNA (or noncoding transcripts therein) a

Abstract:
CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) binds DNA, thereby helping to partition the mammalian genome into discrete structural and regulatory domains. In doing so, it insulates chromatin and fine-tunes gene activation, repression, and silencing. Complete removal of CTCF from mammalian cells causes catastrophic genomic dysregulation, most likely due to widespread collapse of 3D chromatin looping within the nucleus. In contrast, Ctcf hemizygous mice with lifelong reduction in CTCF expression are viable but have an increased incidence of spontaneous multi-lineage malignancies. In addition, CTCF is mutated in

Tight lineage and temporal regulation of BCL6 is, therefore, required for normal immunity and abnormal regulation occurs in cancer. Regulatory mechanisms have been analysed in two settings.

Abstract:
Les super-amplificateurs et CTCF sont considérés comme des acteurs centraux de l'organisation du génome ayant un impact direct sur la régulation de l'expression génique. Ici, pour mieux comprendre leur conservation fonctionnelle, des analyses de super-amplificateurs et de CTCF chez le poisson zèbre ont été effectuées. Les super-amplificateurs annotés dans le génome du poisson zèbre présentent une grande spécificité cellulaire et tissulaire. Des analyses de conservation indiquent que les super-amplificateurs n'ont pas une conservation de séquence supérieure à celle des amplificateurs. En limitant l'a

Abstract:
Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) latency is a viral strategy used to escape from the host immune system and contribute to tumor development. However, the recent discovery of a highly expressed miRNA cluster has suggested that BLV latency is partially true. In our PhD thesis, we studied the epigenetic and transcriptional regulations of this RNA polymerase III (RNAPIII)- dependent miRNA cluster and of a newly discovered RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-dependent promoter (which drives an active antisense transcription). Moreover, our data suggested a putative collision phenomenon between RNAPII and RNAPIII
