Abstract
Epigenetics represent heritable changes in gene expression that are not due to any alteration in the DNA sequence. One of the best-known epigenetic markers is histone acetylation, which has been shown to be deregulated in neoplastic diseases, including B-cell malignancies, such as Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (WM), a low-grade B-cell lymphoma characterized by the presence of lymphoplasmacytic cells in the bone marrow and a serum monoclonal immunoglobulin M in the circulation. It has been recently demonstrated that microRNAs may be responsible for modulating histone acetylation in WM cells, thus providing the preclinical evidences for using microRNA-based therapeutic strategies in this disease.
