RESUMO

Cell death experiments are routinely done in many labs around the world, these experiments are the backbone of many assays for drug development. Cell death detection is usually performed in many ways, and requires time and reagents. However, cell death is preceded by slight morphological changes in cell shape and texture. In this paper, we trained a neural network to classify cells undergoing cell death. We found that the network was able to highly predict cell death after one hour of exposure to camptothecin. Moreover, this prediction largely outperforms human ability. Finally, we provide a simple python tool that can broadly be used to detect cell death.

RESUMO

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs initially thought to be restricted exclusively to germline cells. In recent years, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that piRNAs are actually expressed in pluripotent, neural, cardiac and even cancer cells. However, controversy remains around the existence and function of somatic piRNAs. Using small RNA-seq samples from H9 pluripotent cells differentiated to mesoderm progenitors and cardiomyocytes we identified the expression of 447 piRNA transcripts, of which 241 were detected in pluripotency, 218 in mesoderm and 171 in cardiac cells. The majority of them originated from the sense strand of protein coding and lncRNAs genes in all stages of differentiation, though no evidences of amplification loop (ping-pong) were found. Genes hosting piRNA transcripts in cardiac samples were related to critical biological processes in the heart, like contraction and cardiac muscle development. Our results indicate that these piRNAs might have a role in fine-tuning the expression of genes involved in differentiation of pluripotent cells to cardiomyocytes.
