Piwil1 Regulates Glioma Stem Cell Maintenance and Glioblastoma Progression

ABSTRACT: Piwi proteins are a subfamily of Argonaute proteins that maintain germ cells in eukaryotes. However, the role of their human homologues in cancer stem cells and more broadly in cancer is poorly understood. Here, we report that the Piwi-like family members, including Piwil1 (Hiwi), are overexpressed in glioblastoma (GBM), with Piwil1 levels most frequently elevated. Piwil1 is enriched in glioma stem cells (GSCs) and helps to maintain their self-renewal. GSCs were transduces with control non-targeting shRNAs (shNT) and shPiwil1 (#1 and #2) and global gene expression was analyzed to identify Piwil1 downscream singalings.

RNA-seq analysis in human Glioblastom Stem Cells in response to ADAR-KD

Project description:Our observation suggest that ADAR may play important role to maintain GSC stemness. In order to address this hypothesis, we abrogated the expression of ADAR in GSCs using two distinct short and non-overlapping shot hairpin RNAs (shRNAs). A non-targeting control shRNA (shCONT) is used as control in these experiments. Both shRNAs significantly reduced ADAR protein expression. Depletion of ADAR impaired GSCs proliferation but did not affect matched DGCs. Similarly, lack of ADAR reduces GSC self-renewal capacity as assessed by in vitro limiting dilution assay . In order to identify the antitumor mechanisms triggered by ADAR depletion, we performed global transcriptional profiling through RNA-sequencing in GSCs upon ADAR knockdown. These analyses show that ADAR downregulation impairs the impairs the expression of genes involved in cancer proliferation, particularly those involved in cell cycle regulation

piRNA pathway is essential for generating functional oocytes in golden hamster

Project description:Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small RNAs predominantly expressed in germ cells that function in gametogenesis in various species. Notably, PIWI-deficient female mice are fertile and mouse oocytes express a panel of small RNAs that do not appear widely representative of mammals. Thus, the function of piRNAs in mammalian oogenesis remains largely elusive. Here, we generated PIWIL1- and MOV10L1-deficient golden hamsters and found that all female and male mutants were sterile, with severe defects in embryogenesis and spermatogenesis, respectively. PIWIL1-deficient oocytes displayed aberrant transposon accumulation and broad transcriptomic dysregulation, and maternal PIWIL1-deficient embryos had impaired zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Moreover, our results support that PIWIL1-piRNAs exert a non-redundant function in silencing endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in oocytes. Together, our findings demonstrate that piRNAs are indispensable for generating functional germ cells in golden hamsters and show the informative value of this model species for functional and mechanistic investigations of piRNAs in gametogenesis, especially those related to female infertility.

LGR5 promotes tumorigenicity and invasion of glioblastoma stem-like cells and is a potential therapeutic target for a subset of glioblastoma patients [shLGR5]

Project description:Glioblastoma progression and recurrence are suggested to be derived by glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). There is limited knowledge about the expression and therapy response of LGR5 in GSCs. We have investigated the role of LGR5 in glioblastoma by knocking down LGR5 using short hairpin RNA targeting LGR5 mRNA (shLGR5) and non-target RNA (shNT) as control.

Production of functional oocytes requires maternally expressed PIWI genes and piRNAs in golden hamsters

Project description:Many animals have a conserved adaptive genome defense system known as the Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway which is essential for germ cell development and function. Disruption of individual mouse Piwi genes results in male but not female sterility, leading to the assumption that PIWI genes do not play a role in mammalian oocytes. Contrary to this, PIWIL1- and PIWIL3-defective golden hamsters we have produced show defects in production of functional oocytes. Mechanisms involved, however, vary between the two PIWI genes; lack of PIWIL1 has a strong impact on gene expression including hamster-specific young transposon de-silencing, while PIWIL3 deficiency has little impact on gene expression in oocytes, although DNA methylation of chromosomes was reduced to some extent. Our findings serve as the foundation for developing useful models to study the piRNA pathway in mammalian oocytes including humans, which cannot be possible with mice.

Analysis of Global Protein Expression in PIWIL1 knockdown PDAC cell line

Project description:In contrast to the great advances in understanding of the functions of Piwi in germlines, their actions in cancer cells remain less clear. In particular, Piwi proteins have been asserted as oncoproteins, but little is known about how their oncogenic function is achieved in cancer cells. We conducted mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic analyses to monitor the proteome changes upon PIWIL1 downregulation in PDAC cell line.

The non-redundant functions of PIWI family proteins in gametogenesis in golden hamsters

Project description:The piRNA pathway is essential for female fertility in golden hamsters and likely humans, but not in mice. However, the role of individual PIWIs in reproduction remains poorly understood outside of mice. Here, using golden hamsters, we establish dynamic expression profiles and subcellular localization for all four PIWIs and characterize their associated reproductive defects in knockout mutants. In female golden hamsters, PIWIL1 and PIWIL3 are highly expressed throughout oogenesis and early embryogenesis, while PIWIL1 knockout leads to sterility, and PIWIL3 deficiency results in subfertility with lagging zygotic development. PIWIL1 can partially compensate for TE silencing and transcriptional regulation in PIWIL3 knockout females, but not vice versa. PIWIL1 and PIWIL4 are the predominant PIWIs expressed in adult or postnatal testes, respectively, while PIWIL2 is present in both stages. Notably, in golden hamsters, none of the differences were found between pre-pachytene and pachytene piRNAs characteristic of mice. Loss of any PIWI expressed in testes leads to sterility and severe but distinct spermatogenesis disorders, which are markedly less severe in mice. These findings expand our understanding of the non-redundant PIWI-piRNA regulatory functions in gametogenesis and early embryogenesis in golden hamster, increasing the value of this model for studying human fertility.

Validation of EZH2 targets in GSCs treated with shNT (control), shMELK, shFOXM1, and EZH2 overexpression

Project description:We demonstrate that the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2, EZH2, is targeted by the MELK-FOXM1 complex, which in turn promotes resistance to radiation in GSCs. Clinically, EZH2 and MELK are co-expressed in GBM and significantly induced in post-irradiation recurrent tumors whose expression inversely correlated with patient prognosis. Through gain-and loss-of-function study, our data show that MELK or FOXM1 contributes on GSC radioresistance by regulation of EZH2. We used microarrays to validate EZH2 target gene expression. GSCs were treated with shNT (control), shMELK, shFOXM1, and EZH2 overexpression. Total RNA was isolated using the Qiagen RNeasy kit (Qiagen).

Piwi proteins and piRNAs in mammalian oocytes and early embryos

Project description:Germ cells of most animals critically depend on piRNAs and Piwi proteins. Surprisingly, piRNAs in mouse oocytes are relatively rare and dispensable. We present compelling evidence for strong Piwi-piRNA expression in oocytes of other mammals. Human fetal oocytes express PIWIL2 and transposon-enriched piRNAs. Oocytes in adult human ovary express PIWIL1 and PIWIL2, while those in bovine ovary just express PIWIL1. In human, macaque and bovine ovaries we find piRNAs that resemble testis-borne pachytene piRNAs. Isolated bovine follicular oocytes were shown to contain abundant, relatively short piRNAs that preferentially target transposable elements. Using label-free quantitative proteome analysis we show that these maturing oocytes strongly and specifically express the thus-far uncharacterized PIWIL3 protein, alongside other known piRNA-pathway components. In bovine early embryos these piRNAs are still abundant, revealing a potential impact of piRNAs on mammalian embryogenesis. Our results reveal unexpected, highly dynamic piRNA pathways in mammalian oocytes and early embryos. Analyses of multiple small RNA libraries obtained from fetal/adult oocytes, cumulus cells, ovary, testis and 2-4 cell stage ivf embryos of multiple mammalian species.
