Project description:We have demonstrated that PIWIL1 can regulate neuronal radial migration during corticogenesis. In order to explore the mechanism, we carried out high-throughtput sequencing (mRNA profile) to define downstream target of PIWIL during the process of neuronal migration. And we found the expression level of several microtubule-associated proteins decreased after downregulation of PIWIL1. Therefore, PIWIL1 plays an important role in neuronal migration by regulating the expression microtubule-associated proteins (such as Map1B, Map2, Tau) . Examine mRNA profile in two groups of primary cultured neurons with electroporation of control or RNAi plasmid.

Project description: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.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs are known to play crucial roles in various physiological processes in mammals, yet their functions in spermatogenesis remain largely underexplored. Here, we have identified a distinct category of conserved haploid spermatids-associated long non-coding RNAs (cHS-LncRNAs) characterized by their sequence-based conservation, specific expression in the testis, and elevated expression levels in haploid spermatids. Among these, we found that the testis specific conserved LncRNA 1 (Tscl1) exhibits the highest expression in round spermatids. Deletion of Tscl1 in mice exhibits reduced sperm motility, disordered mitochondrial sheath structure, abnormal fatty acid metabolism, and results in male infertility. Mechanistically, Tscl1 directly interacts with PIWIL1 and HuR via its 5′ end stem-loop structure and multiple AU-rich elements, respectively. This binding pattern promotes the formation of the PIWIL1/eIF3f/HuR/eIF4G3 supercomplex, regulating the translation efficiency of fatty acid metabolism-associated mRNAs within the chromatoid body. Furthermore, the region where TSCL1 interacts with PIWIL1 is significantly enriched with TSCL1 variants identified in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) compared to those in the fertile controls (OR=5.992, P=0.020, NCase=1,338, NControl=2,664). Taken together, our findings elucidate the critical role of Tscl1 in regulating the translation efficiency of target mRNAs through its collaboration with PIWIL1 and HuR during spermiogenesis.

Project description:To evaluate PIWIL1/piRNAs association in the metastatic COLO 205 cell line, we performed an RNA-immunoprecipitation experiment followed by small RNA deep-sequencing (RIP-Seq). For the identification of PIWIL1/piRNA complexes, independent reactions were carried out with two different antibodies (IP1 and IP2); non-specific interactions were computationally filtered out using a No Antibody control (No Ab).

Project description:Loss of function of dystonin cytoskeletal linker proteins causes neurodegeneration in the sensory ataxia, dystonia musculorum (dt). While much investigation has focused on understanding dt pathology, divergent functions of dystonin isoforms are still unknown. Here, we highlight a novel function of the dystonin-a2 isoform in mediating microtubule (MT) stability, golgi organization and flux through the secretory pathway. Using dystonin-null mice combined with isoform-specific loss of function analysis, we find dystonin-a2 is bound to MAP1B in the area surrounding the centrosome, where it maintains MT acetylation. In dt, the absence of the MAP1B-dystonin-A2 interaction results in a loss of MAP1B perinuclear localization, leading to MT deacetylation and instability. Deacetylated MTs lead to golgi fragmentation and prevent anterograde trafficking of motor proteins. Maintenance of MT acetylation through TSA administration or MAP1B overexperssion in vitro, mitigates the observed defect. These aberrations are apparent in pre-phenotype dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and primary sensory neurons, suggesting they are causal in the dt disorder.

Project description:Piwi proteins are normally restricted in germ cells to suppress transposons through association with piRNAs, but are also frequently activated in many types of human cancers. Of great puzzle is the lack of induction of corresponding piRNAs in cancer cells, as we document here in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), implying that such germline-specific proteins are somehow hijacked to promote tumorigenesis through different mode of action. To pursue the underlying mechanism, we now demonstrate that in the absence of piRNAs, the aberrantly induced human PIWIL1 in PDAC functions as an oncoprotein by activating the Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C), which then targets a critical cell adhesion-related protein Pinin to enhance PDAC metastasis. This is in contrast to piRNA-dependent PIWIL1 ubiquitination and removal by APC/C during late spermiogenesis. These findings thus unveil an piRNA-dependent mechanism to switch PIWIL1 from a substrate in spermatids to a co-activator of APC/C in human cancer cells.

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.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to identify molecular markers of pathologic response to neoadjuvant paclitaxel/radiation treatment, protein and gene expression profiling were done on pretreatment biopsies. Patients with high-risk, operable breast cancer were treated with three cycles of paclitaxel followed by concurrent paclitaxel/radiation. Tumor tissue from pretreatment biopsies was obtained from 19 of the 38 patients enrolled in the study. Protein and gene expression profiling were done on serial sections of the biopsies from patients that achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR) and compared to those with residual disease, non-pCR (NR). Proteomic and validation immunohistochemical analyses revealed that α-defensins (DEFA) were overexpressed in tumors from patients with a pCR. Gene expression analysis revealed that MAP2, a microtubule-associated protein, had significantly higher levels of expression in patients achieving a pCR. Elevation of MAP2 in breast cancer cell lines led to increased paclitaxel sensitivity. Furthermore, expression of genes that are associated with the basal-like, triple-negative phenotype were enriched in tumors from patients with a pCR. Analysis of a larger panel of tumors from patients receiving presurgical taxane-based treatment showed that DEFA and MAP2 expression as well as histologic features of inflammation were all statistically associated with response to therapy at the time of surgery. We show the utility of molecular profiling of pretreatment biopsies to discover markers of response. Our results suggest the potential use of immune signaling molecules such as DEFA as well as MAP2, a microtubule-associated protein, as tumor markers that associate with response to neoadjuvant taxaneâbased therapy. Tumor tissues from pretreatment needle biopsies from patients enrolled on a paclitaxel/radiation clinical trial were laser capture microdissected for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. We analyzed one array (sample A) from duplicate samples from each patient. 14 subject, 2 replicates each.
