Genome-wide profiling of mature piRNAs in human Neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To elucidate potential role of piRNAs in Neuroblastoma (NB), we performed the genome wide profiling in two human NB cell lines, IMR-32 and SH-SY-5Y by adopting high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and unveil their possible functions in neoplastic pathways. The RNA sequencing results revealed both known and novel piRNAs in both the cell lines. We observed a total 630 annotated mature piRNAs, distributed across chromosomes and mitochondria which were mapped to various genomic locations such as introns, protein coding regions, repeats, pseudogenes, ncRNAs etc. This is the first study reporting the extensive catalogue of human NB piRNAs which will provide a useful resource to dissect complex neoplastic events that are possibly mediated by piRNAs in neuroblastoma. Moreover, these piRNAs could be used as probable small RNA biomarkers for the Neuroblastoma.
