Cell and tissue regeneration, much discussed in various areas of medicine and biology, still has gaps in its processes and functioning. In the last decade, the role of epigenetics in this function has been elucidated, with emphasis on non-coding RNAs, including piRNAs (PIWI-interacting RNAs), previously known for their role in germ cells and in controlling transposable elements. Recent studies have demonstrated piRNA functions in somatic tissue cells, such as the nervous system, and research in small rodents, especially Mus musculus, has indicated an important link between the expression of this pathway and the correct functioning of the regeneration process. As it is a relevant challenge for regenerative medicine to understand these processes, through the robust studies described here and using Bioinformatics tools, protein-protein interaction networks (PPIN) were built to identify target proteins for therapeutic treatments based on the functioning of the PIWI/piRNA gene pathway in Mus musculus. By analyzing these networks, we were able to identify relevant proteins, as well as their interactions, for the regenerative process in mammals and, with these results, in the future we will be able to develop in vivo tests based on the data obtained in silico, thus saving time and financial investment.
