PIWI-interacting RNAs as novel regulators of pancreatic beta-cell function [p10, adult samples]

Project description:There is mounting evidence indicating that piRNAs are also present in somatic cells where they may accomplish additional regulatory tasks. The aim of this study was to identify the piRNAs expressed in pancreatic islets and to determine whether they are involved in the control of beta-cell activities. piRNA profiling of rat pancreatic islets was performed by microarray. We detected about 18’000 piRNAs in rat pancreatic islets, many of which were differentially expressed throughout islet postnatal development.

PIWI-interacting RNAs function as novel tumor suppressors in glioblastoma multiforme

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that partner with PIWI proteins to protect germline tissues from destabilizing transposon activity. While the aberrant expression of PIWI proteins has been linked with poor outcomes for many cancers, less is known about the expression or function of piRNAs in cancer. We performed array-based piRNA expression profiling in seven pairs of normal and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tissue specimens and identified expression of ~350 piRNAs in both tissues and a subset with dysregulated expression in GBM. Several down-regulated piRNAs inhibited proliferation when transfected into glioma cell lines while those equivalently expressed in tumor and normal tissues did not, consistent with piRNA-specific tumor-suppressive roles. Upregulation of the most underexpressed piRNA, piR-8041, was found to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and to alter transcriptional levels of several genes involved in stress and cell survival pathways. Additionally, the volume of intracranial mouse xenograft tumors was significantly reduced for approximately ten days after pre-implantation transfection with piR-8041. Taken together, our study reveals a previously unidentified functional role for piRNAs as tumor suppressors in gliomagenesis, and suggests that restoration of piRNA levels may be a potential strategy for GBM therapy.
