Abstract: Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a subtype of Diffuse B Large Cell Lymphoma (DBLCL) that is primarily associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, other types of immunosuppression (such as solid organ transplantation) and in immunocompetent patients. In general, PBL is a rare disease, but the incidence increases dramatically in regions with a high HIV prevalence. PBL is a poorly studied and extremely aggressive tumor. The provision of information to define the genomic expression of this lymphoma is important for understanding the pathogenesis of this disease. This study identify the transcriptome expression changes, using bioinformatics analysis of data from RNA-seq techniques performed on a set of samples from patients with PBL and Controls without PBL. In addition, using data of a previous microarray expression study where a set of differentially expressed miRNAs were found between the same two groups, the role of differentially expressed miRNAs in modulating gene expression is determined. The results of this study suggest the creation of future lines of work that will allow further study of this data set.
