Abstract
Gynecological cancers are currently a major public health concern due to increase in incidence and mortality globally. PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) are small non-coding RNA consisting of 24-32 nucleotides that plays regulatory role by interacting with piwi family of protein. Recent studies have revealed that piRNAs are expressed in various kinds of human tissues and influences key signalling pathways at transcriptional and post transcriptional levels. Studies have also that suggested piRNA and PIWI proteins display frequently altered expression in several cancers. Recent research has indicated that abnormal expression of piRNA may play a significant role in development and progression of gynecological cancers. Clinical studies suggested that, abnormally expressed piRNAs may serve as diagnostic and prognostic marker, and as potential therapeutic targets in these cancers. In the present review article, we discussed the emerging role of piRNA and their utility as diagnostic and prognostic marker in gynecological cancers.

Abstract
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a type of endogenous noncoding RNAs with a length of 24-31 nucleotides, and they can specifically bind with PIWI proteins to form the piRNA/PIWI complexes for regulating multiple physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we develop a bidirectional polymerization-transcription amplification-encoded dual-color fluorescent biosensor for label-free and primer-free measurements of multiple piRNAs. The designed hairpin probe contains a palindromic tail, and it can serve as the target recognition unit, polymerization primer, and transcription template. In the presence of target piRNAs, the hairpin probes are opened to expose a palindromic sequence that can trigger bidirectional polymerization and transcription reaction with the assistance of KF polymerase and T7 RNA polymerase for the production of numerous RNA aptamers. The aptamers subsequently bind with the corresponding fluorophores (DFHBI-1T/MG) to form the RNA aptamer-fluorophore complexes for the generation of enhanced fluorescence signals. This biosensor can sensitively detect piR-36026 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 82.08 aM and piR-36743 with a LOD of 44.44 aM. Moreover, it can quantify cellular piRNAs with single-cell sensitivity and distinguish cancer cells from normal cells. Furthermore, it has the capability of distinguishing the expression of piRNAs in the tissues of breast cancer patients and healthy individuals. By simply altering the target recognition site of the hairpin probe, this biosensor can be extended to detect various piRNAs, offering a powerful platform for piRNA-related clinical diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that repress transposable elements to maintain genome integrity. The canonical catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) circuit relies on random collisions of free-diffused reactant probes, which substantially slow down reaction efficiency and kinetics. Herein, we demonstrate the construction of a spatial-confined self-stacking catalytic circuit for rapid and sensitive imaging of piRNA in living cells based on intramolecular and intermolecular hybridization-accelerated CHA. We rationally design a 3WJ probe that not only accelerates the reaction kinetics by increasing the local concentration of reactant probes but also eliminates background signal leakage caused by cross-entanglement of preassembled probes. This strategy achieves high sensitivity and good specificity with shortened assay time. It can quantify intracellular piRNA expression at a single-cell level, discriminate piRNA expression in tissues of breast cancer patients and healthy persons, and in situ image piRNA in living cells, offering a new approach for early diagnosis and postoperative monitoring.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) has been the focus of numerous studies aimed at identifying novel biological markers for its early detection. PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), a subset of small non-coding RNAs, have emerged as potential markers due to their aberrant expression in various cancers. PiRNAs have recently gained attention due to their aberrant expression in various cancers, including BC. PiRNAs, exhibit diverse biological activities, such as epigenetic regulation of gene and protein expression and their association with cell proliferation and metastasis has been well-established. As the field of non-coding RNAs rapidly evolves, there is great anticipation that therapies targeting piRNAs will advance swiftly. This review will delve into the various biological functions of piRNAs, such as gene suppression, transposon silencing, and epigenetic regulation of genes. The review will also highlight the role of piRNAs as either progenitors or suppressors in cancers, with a particular focus on BC. Lastly, it will touch upon the potential of piRNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for BC.

Curr Med Chem 2024; 31:3360-3379. [PMID: 37933213 DOI: 10.2174/0109298673241301231023060322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. Studies show that left-sided BC in pre and post-menopausal women leads to double the risk of worse morbidity and mortality and the reasons are uncertain. Finding the relationship between BC laterality and other possible risk factors can be advantageous for the prognosis of BC. OBJECTIVE This present study aimed to analyze the relationship between BC laterality and possible risk factors. METHODS A total of 6089 studies were screened. 23 studies from 1971 to 2021 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. A pooled relative risk was generated via meta-analysis with a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS Left-side BC laterality was significant (p < 0.00001) in the women populations compared to the right side based on the pooled size with possible high-risk factors, including handedness, older women, body mass index, people with black skin, invasive type carcinoma, and estrogen receptor-negative BC. These findings suggest that there may be a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that contribute to left-side BC laterality. CONCLUSION Results suggest an increased rate of BC on the left side, with high-risk factors contributing to BC laterality, which may be useful in predicting prognosis. This study provides significant insights into the relationship between high-risk factors and BC laterality. By identifying potential risk factors associated with left-side BC, it may be possible to improve the ability to predict prognosis and develop more targeted treatment strategies. This information could be particularly useful for healthcare providers and patients, as it may guide decisions regarding screening, prevention, and treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the overall burden of BC.

Abstract
piR-823 is a newly discovered colorectal cancer marker with high diagnostic efficacy. However, the current quantification methods have complicated operations and high cost, which restrict its clinical application. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF) with a UiO-66 prototype structure which supports gold nanoclusters (Au NCs), Au NCs/UiO-66-NH2, were prepared as a model nanobiosensing platform for ratiometric detection of exosomal piR-823. The rolling circle amplification process provides high sensitivity and the ratiometric detection process ensures good accuracy of the sensor. Such biosensor showed a wide linear range of 0.04-4 pM, and a low detection limit of 10.2 fM towards piR-823. In addition, piR-823 can be used as an effective supplement to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in clinical diagnosis of colorectal cancer. This study not only provides a potentially valuable ratio fluorescence platform involving enzyme catalytic reaction, but also offers a design blueprint for further expansion of nanotechnology in the diverse biological analysis.

Abstract
PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNAs), once thought to be mainly functioning in germlines, are now known to play an essential role in somatic and cancerous tissues. Ping-pong cycle initiation and mitochondria-based phased production constitute the core of the piRNA biogenesis and these two processes are well conserved in mammals, including humans. By being involved in DNA methylation, histone marker deposition, mRNA degradation, and protein modification, piRNAs also contribute to carcinogenesis partly due to oncogenic stress-induced piRNA dysregulation. Also, piRNAs play important roles in cancer stemness, drug resistance, and tumor immunology. Results from liquid biopsy analysis of piRNA can be used in both cancer diagnoses and cancer prognoses. A combination of targeting piRNA with other therapeutic strategies could be groundbreaking cancer treatment.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticle SNAs (LNP-SNAs) have been synthesized for the delivery of DNA and RNA to targets in the cytoplasm of cells. Both the composition of the LNP core and surface-presented DNA sequences contribute to LNP-SNA activity. G-rich sequences enhance the activity of LNP-SNAs compared to T-rich sequences. In the LNP core, increased cholesterol content leads to greater activity. Optimized LNP-SNA candidates reduce the siRNA concentration required to silence mRNA by 2 orders of magnitude compared to liposome-based SNAs. In addition, the LNP-SNA architectures alter biodistribution and efficacy profiles in mice. For example, mRNA within LNP-SNAs injected intravenously is primarily expressed in the spleen, while mRNA encapsulated by LNPs (no DNA on the surface) was expressed primarily in the liver with a relatively small amount in the spleen. These data show that the activity and biodistribution of LNP-SNA architectures are different from those of conventional liposomal SNAs and therefore potentially can be used to target tissues.

Abstract
P-element-induced wimpy testis (Piwi)-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of germline-enriched small non-coding RNA that associate with Piwi family proteins and mostly induce transposon silencing and epigenetic regulation. Emerging evidence indicated the aberrant expression of Piwil proteins and associated piRNAs in multiple types of human cancer including breast cancer. Although the majority of piRNAs in breast cancer remains unclear of the function mainly due to the variety of regulatory mechanisms, the potential of piRNAs serving as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis or therapeutic targets for cancer treatment has been demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies. Herein we summarized the research progress of oncogenic or tumor suppressing piRNAs and their regulatory mechanisms in regulating human breast cancer, including piR-021285, piR-823, piR-932, piR-36712, piR-016658, piR-016975 and piR-4987. The challenges and perspectives of piRNAs in the field of human cancer were discussed.

Abstract
Nanoscale systems have increasingly been used in biomedical applications, enhancing the demand for the development of biomolecule-functionalized nanoparticles for targeted applications. Such designer nanosystems hold great prospective to refine disease diagnosis and treatment. To completely investigate their potential for bioapplications, nanoparticles must be biocompatible and targetable toward explicit receptors to guarantee particular detecting, imaging, and medication conveyance in complex organic milieus, for example, living cells, tissues, and organisms. We present recent works that explore enhanced biocompatibility and biorecognition of nanoparticles functionalized with DNA and different DNA entities such as aptamers, DNAzymes, and aptazymes. We sum up the methods utilized in the amalgamation of complex nanostructures, survey the significant types of multifunctional nanoparticles that have been developed in the course of recent years, and give a perceptual vision of the significant field of nanomedicine. The field of DNA-functionalized nanoparticles holds an incredible guarantee in rising biomedical zones, for example, multimodal imaging, theranostics, and picture-guided treatments.

Abstract
The chemical composition of cells at the molecular level determines their growth, differentiation, structure, and function. Probing this composition is powerful because it provides invaluable insight into chemical processes inside cells and in certain cases allows disease diagnosis based on molecular profiles. However, many techniques analyze fixed cells or lysates of bulk populations, in which information about dynamics and cellular heterogeneity is lost. Recently, nucleic-acid-based probes have emerged as a promising platform for the detection of a wide variety of intracellular analytes in live cells with single-cell resolution. Recent advances in this field are described and common strategies for probe design, types of targets that can be identified, current limitations, and future directions are discussed.

Abstract
It has been reported that PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play critical roles in activating invasion and metastasis, evading growth suppressors, and sustaining proliferative signaling of cancer and can be regarded as a novel biomarker candidate. Thus, it is necessary to develop an effective method for imaging and regulating cancer-related piRNAs to diagnose and treat cancers. Herein, we designed aptamer-functionalized activatable DNA tetrahedron nanoprobes (apt-ADTNs) to image and regulate endogenous piRNAs in cancer cells. As proof of concept, overexpressed piRNA-36026 in MCF-7 cells was used for this study. In brief, aptamer AS1411 and piRNA-36026 antisequence with Cy5 fluorescent dye are appended from the DNA tetrahedron; then, a short oligonucleotide with black hole quencher 2 (Q-oligo) is complementary with piRNA-36026 antisequence to quench the fluorescence of Cy5. The apt-ADTNs can recognize the MCF-7 cells through aptamer AS1411, and then enter the cells. Q-oligo is detached from the apt-ADTNs because of the binding between apt-ADTNs and piRNA-36026, leading to the recovery of the Cy5 fluorescence signal. Meanwhile, the hybridization of apt-ADTNs and piRNA-36026 results in down-regulating of dissociative piRNA-36026 in cytoplasm and the subsequent apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. As the achievement of synchronously imaging and regulating piRNA-36026 in MCF-7 cells, we believe that this design holds great promise in application of diagnosis and therapy for cancer.
