Abstract
P-element induced wimpy testis (PIWI)-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a newly known class of small non-coding RNAs with 24–31 nucleotides in length. There are more than 20,000 piRNA genes in the human genome and some of them have a role in cancer. In this study, we investigated the expression of piRNAs in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We used publicly available small RNA sequencing data derived from the peripheral blood of patients with AML and control samples to be re-analyzed for investigation of piRNA expression pattern and then was validated via the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Differential expression analysis showed that four upregulated piRNAs and six downregulated piRNAs in AML samples, among which, the piR-32,877 and piR-33,195 were the top two upregulated piRNAs. Real-time PCR was performed to validate the increased expression of these two piRNAs in AML compared to controls. Pathway analysis was also performed. The results provide evidence that piR-32,877 and piR-33,195 may serve as a new diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in AML.

期刊介绍:
Meta Gene publishes meta-analysis, polymorphism and population study papers that are relevant to both human and non-human species. Examples include but are not limited to: (Relevant to human specimens): 1Meta-Analysis Papers - statistical reviews of the published literature of human genetic variation (typically linked to medical conditionals and/or congenital diseases) 2Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) - examination of large patient cohorts to identify common genetic factors that influence health and disease 3Human Genetics Papers - original studies describing new data on genetic variation in smaller patient populations 4Genetic Case Reports - short communications describing novel and in formative genetic mutations or chromosomal aberrations (e.g., probands) in very small demographic groups (e.g., family or unique ethnic group). (Relevant to non-human specimens): 1Small Genome Papers - Analysis of genetic variation in organelle genomes (e.g., mitochondrial DNA) 2Microbiota Papers - Analysis of microbiological variation through analysis of DNA sequencing in different biological environments 3Ecological Diversity Papers - Geographical distribution of genetic diversity of zoological or botanical species.
