Multiple myeloma (MM) is a haematological malignancy characterized by the accumulation of proliferating antibody producing plasma cells in the bone marrow. In the last few years many studies have emphasized the biological complexity and heterogeneity of MM as a result of both genetic and epigenetic aberrations. Che-1/AATF (Che-1) is a transcriptional cofactor involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, DNA damage and stress response. it can be hypothesized that Che-1 might contribute to the establishment of the MM malignant phenotype by sustaining global transcription through its ability to modulate chromatin accessibility.
The prospective study on MM human samples aims to understand the involvement of Che-1 in the transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling during the pathology. To this goal the main objectives are:

| ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq | Other | CD138+ cells will be isolated from the bone marrow of MM patients and will be subjected to ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq analyses, by useing specific antibodies, to better understand the involvment of Che-1 in MM tumorogenesis. |
