My research in the Pathology department is mainly focused on immunological aspects of B-cell lymphoma. I study interactions of tumor cells with the microenvironment, and signaling pathways in Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Argonaute 2 RNA Immunoprecipitation Reveals Distinct miRNA Targetomes of Primary Burkitt Lymphoma Tumors and Normal B Cells
Published in: The American Journal of Pathology
miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Deregulated miRNA levels have been linked to Burkitt lymphoma (BL) pathogenesis. To date, the number of known pathogenesis-related miRNA-target gene interactions is limited. Here, we determined for the first time the miRNA targetomes of primary BL tumors and normal B cells. AG02-RNA immunoprecipitation of two frozen diagnostic BL tissue samples and three CD19(+) B-cell samples isolated from routinely removed tonsils showed distinct miRNA targetomes of BL and normal B cells. In contrast to normal B...

Combined loss of HLA I and HLA II expression is more common in the non-GCB type of diffuse large B cell lymphoma
Published in: Histopathology
As an immune escape mechanism tumor cells may downregulate expression of Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA). Loss of HLA class I and class II has been described in various subtypes of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including the not otherwise specified (NOS) subgroup. 1,2 We analyzed HLA class I and class II expression in DLBCL not otherwise specified (NOS) to investigate whether there is an association between HLA expression, cell of origin (COO) and the recently reported FOXP1 expression in non-GCB DLBCL. 3 This article is protected by...
Identification of relevant drugable targets in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma using a genome-wide unbiased CD20 guilt-by association approach
Published in: PLoS ONE
Forty percent of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) show resistant disease to standard chemotherapy (CHOP) in combination with the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab (R). Although many new anti-cancer drugs were developed in the last years, it is unclear which of these drugs can be safely combined to improve standard therapy without antagonizing anti-CD20 efficacy. In this study, we aimed to identify rituximab compatible drug-target combinations for DLBCL. For this, we collected gene expression profiles of 1,804 DLBCL patient samples. Subsequently, we performed a guilt-by-association analysis with...
