B lymphocytes are essential for an efficient immune response against a variety of pathogens. A large fraction of hematologic malignancies is of B cell origin, suggesting that the development and activation of B cells need to be tightly regulated. In recent years, increasing evidence has emerged demonstrating that microRNAs (miRNAs) - a class of non-coding RNAs that control gene expression - are involved in the regulation of B cell development and function. We provide here an overview of the current knowledge on the role of miRNAs and their relevant targets in B cell development, B cell activation, and B cell malignant transformation.
B淋巴细胞对于针对多种病原体的有效免疫反应至关重要。很大一部分血液系统恶性肿瘤起源于B细胞,这表明B细胞的发育和激活需要受到严格调控。近年来,越来越多的证据表明,微小RNA(miRNA)——一类控制基因表达的非编码RNA——参与了B细胞发育和功能的调控。我们在此概述了目前关于miRNA及其相关靶点在B细胞发育、B细胞激活和B细胞恶性转化中的作用的知识。
