Transcriptional regulatory mechanisms drive the maturation of B cells to plasma cells, with a dramatic transcriptional rewiring taking place during the transition. This rewiring is dependent on a number of factors, including the transcription factor B lymphocyte induced maturation protein 1 (BLIMP1), and epigenetic mechanisms, amongst others. In this thesis, I present two projects investigating mechanisms of transcriptional regulation in antibody-secreting cell malignancies. Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia is a cancer of antibody-secreting lymphoplasmacytic cells in the bone marrow. The transcription factor BLIMP1 is important for antibody secretion and yet its role has not been studied in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia. Here I demonstrat...
