Keeping gene expression in check: eliciting the role of transcription in the maintenance of genome integrity (TransArrest)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Genomic integrity is essential for accurate gene expression and epigenetic inheritance. On the other hand, a prolonged transcriptional arrest can challenge genome stability, contributing to genetic and epigenetic defects and the mechanisms of ageing and disease.Here we aim to identify the molecular mechanisms that couple transcriptional arrest to chromatin alteration and repair. We wish to explore ...

Identification and functional and mechanistic characterization of Wnt-regulated long intergenic non-coding RNAs (WNTLINCS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
"The canonical Wnt pathway plays a central role in stem cell maintenance, differentiation and proliferation in the adult, self-renewing intestinal epithelium. Wnt signaling activates gene expression through the induced formation of complexes between DNA-binding TCF factors and the transcriptional co-activator β-catenin. Constitutive, aberrant transcriptional activity of the TCF4/β-catenin complex, ...

HEMatopoietic cell IDentity : genetic and epigenetic regulation in normal and malignant hematopoiesis (HEM_ID)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
In hematopoiesis, failure to maintain homeostasis and regenerative functions result in a multitude of hematological malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndromes, lymphomas and leukemias, that represent a medical challenge and a large socioeconomic burden because of the large number of affected patients of all age groups. Although hierarchical organization of the hematopoietic system has been ...

Understanding inflammation-associated tumorigenesis for the rational design of novel anti-cancer therapeutic strategies (INFLA-CARE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
Epidemiological and experimental evidence supports a link between chronic inflammation and cancer and indicates a role for inflammatory cells in the initiation, progression and metastasis of malignancy. The objective of the collaborative integrated project INFLA-CARE is to structure a European collective of scientific and technological excellence in the field of ‘Inflammation & Cancer’ which will ...
