Project description:Renal epithelial neoplasms have characteristic chromosomal imbalances that can be used for classification. We have previously shown that virtual karyotypes (v-karyotype) derived from SNP microarrays can be performed on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples but a direct comparison with karyotypes obtained by conventional cytogenetics has not been done. 20 archival FFPE tumor samples were analyzed with Affymetrix 10K 2.0 or 250K Nsp SNP microarrays. 19 archival FFPE tumor samples were analyzed with Affymetrix 10K 2.0 or 250K Nsp SNP microarrays and virtual-karyotype results compared to those obtained by Cytogenetics.

Project description:Renal tumors with complex morphology require extensive workup for accurate classification. Chromosomal aberrations that define subtypes of renal epithelial neoplasms have been reported. We explored if whole-genome chromosome copy number and loss-of-heterozygosity analysis with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays can be used to identify these aberrations in cases where morphology was unable to definitively classify these tumors. Experiment Overall Design: We analyzed 50 paraffin-embedded tissues representing tumors with classic morphology from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC, and oncocytoma with Affymetrix GeneChip 10K 2.0 Mapping arrays. We then analyzed 25 tumors that could not be classified by morphology and classified them based on the presence of defining chromosomal anomalies identified in the "classic" cohort.

Project description:Cancer development is associated with multiple genetic alterations and genomic instability either at the chromosomal or base pair level is generally thought to underlie these changes. However, it is still unknown whether genetic instability is absolutely required for tumorigenesis. Here we investigated the genomic instability status of four cytogenetically stable diploid cell lines CAL51, SK-UT-1B, A204 and CH1. We applied high resolution 500K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis and found that all the four cell lines have some sub-microscopic genomic copy number changes. Interestingly, there were many more sub-microscopic chromosome alterations in A204 and CH1 than in CAL51 and SK-UT-1B. Twenty-four-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to analyse a large number of metaphases from CAL51, SK-UT-1B and CH1 cells. The rate of de novo chromosome rearrangements was significantly higher in CH1 than CAL51 and SK-UT-1B. Although this increased rate did not lead to many clonal cytogenetically apparent chromosome alterations in CH1 cells, it is consistent with a first step towards chromosomal instability. It is more striking that both cell lines CAL51 and SK-UT-1B which have a similar de novo chromosomal change rate to that of normal lymphocytes were microsatellite instability positive by BAT-26 microsatellite analysis. This study further strengths the current concept that genomic instability is associated with tumor development. Keywords: DNA copy number changes DNA from A204, CH1, CAL51 and SK-UT-1B were analyzed by Affymetrix Genechip Mapping 500K Set array. Data were compared with normal samples from HAPMAP database.

Project description:Embryo DNA fingerprinting represents an important tool for tracking embryo-specific outcomes after multiple embryo transfer during IVF. The situation in which 2 embryos are transferred and only one implants represents a unique opportunity for the most well-controlled comparison of competent and incompetent embryos. Specifically, this design eliminates all patient-related variables from the comparison of embryos with or without reproductive potential. However, in order to determine which embryo implanted, the investigator must wait until newborn DNA is available upon delivery. This study validates a non-invasive fetal DNA fingerprinting method that reduces the time to identify which embryo implanted by approximately 31 weeks. Thirty-four patients were studied to determine if fingerprinting of fetal DNA extracted from maternal plasma at 9 gestational weeks concurred with the buccal DNA results obtained from the newborn after delivery. This validation required single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profiles on each couples’ preimplantation embryos, enriched fetal DNA from maternal plasma at 9 weeks gestation, and newborn DNA obtained from buccal swabs after delivery. The predictions from fetal DNA-based embryo tracking and gender assignments made at 9 weeks gestation were 100% consistent with standardized methods of assessment performed after term delivery. This study demonstrates the first validated fetal DNA fingerprinting method which predicts both gender and which embryo implanted at 9 weeks gestation following multiple embryo transfer. Affymetrix SNP arrays were processed and successfully completed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from 136 embryos, 33 parental blood samples, 17 enriched fetal DNA samples and 21 buccal DNA samples.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cervical carcinoma develops as a result of multiple genetic alterations. Different studies investigated genomic alterations in cervical cancer mainly by means of metaphase comparative genomic hybridization (mCGH) and microsatellite marker analysis for the detection of loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Currently, high throughput methods such as array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH), single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array) and gene expression arrays are available to study genome-wide alterations. Integration of these 3 platforms allows detection of genomic alterations at high resolution and investigation of an association between copy number changes and expression. RESULTS: Genome-wide copy number and genotype analysis of 10 cervical cancer cell lines by array CGH and SNP array showed highly complex large-scale alterations. A comparison between array CGH and SNP array revealed that the overall concordance in detection of the same areas with copy number alterations (CNA) was above 90%. The use of SNP arrays demonstrated that about 75% of LOH events would not have been found by methods which screen for copy number changes, such as array CGH, since these were LOH events without CNA. Regions frequently targeted by CNA, as determined by array CGH, such as amplification of 5p and 20q, and loss of 8p were confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Genome-wide, we did not find a correlation between copy-number and gene expression. At chromosome arm 5p however, 22% of the genes were significantly upregulated in cell lines with amplifications as compared to cell lines without amplifications, as measured by gene expression arrays. For 3 genes, SKP2, ANKH and TRIO, expression differences were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). CONCLUSION: This study showed that copy number data retrieved from either array CGH or SNP array are comparable and that the integration of genome-wide LOH, copy number and gene expression is useful for the identification of gene specific targets that could be relevant for the development and progression in cervical cancer.

Project description:Many studies estimate that chromosomal mosaicism within the cleavage stage human embryo is high. However, comparison of two unique methods of aneuploidy screening of blastomeres within the same embryo has not been conducted and may indicate whether mosaicism is overestimated due to technical inconsistency rather than biological phenomena. The present study investigates the prevalence of chromosomal abnormality and mosaicism found with two different single cell aneuploidy screening techniques.Thirteen arrested cleavage stage embryos were studied. Each was biopsied into individual cells (n=160). The cells from each embryo were randomized into two groups. Those destined for FISH based aneuploidy screening (n=75) were fixed, 1 cell per slide. Cells for SNP microarray based aneuploidy screening (n=85) were put into individual tubes. Microarray was significantly more reliable (96%) than FISH (83%) for providing an interpretable result (P=0.004). Markedly different results were obtained when comparing microarray and FISH results from individual embryos. Mosaicism was significantly less commonly observed by microarray (4 of 13 embryos; 31%) than by FISH (13 of 13 embryos; 100%)(P=0.0005). Although FISH evaluated fewer chromosomes per cell and fewer cells per embryo, FISH still displayed significantly more unique genetic diagnoses per embryo (3.2+0.2) than microarray (1.3+0.2)(P<0.0001). This is the first prospective, randomized, blinded, and paired comparison between microarray and FISH based aneuploidy screening. Aneuploidy and mosaicism were less common with microarray. While evaluating a smaller number of chromosomes with a proportionally smaller opportunity for finding mosaicism, FISH still had a dramatically higher level of inter-cell variation in diagnosis. SNP microarray based 24 chromosome aneuploidy screening provides more complete and consistent results than FISH. Affymetrix SNP arrays were processed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from 13 arrested cleavage stage embryos and biopsied into individual blastomere cells. Individual blastomeres were randomized and blinded for SNP microarray analysis (n = 85). Afflymetrix SNP array analysis was successfully completed on 82 blastomeres.

Project description:Sacrocolpopexy has been dubbed the âgold standardâ repair for apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). This study sought to determine a genetic cause for sacrocolpopexy failure by comparing genotypes from 10 women who suffered from early POP reoccurance after sacrocolpopexy surgery, versus 40 randomly selected women with long term success after the same procedure. We objectively defined early overt failure after robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy as having a pelvic organ prolapse quantification system examination (POP-Q) of stage III or IV occurring in more than one compartment within six months after surgery. All medical records identified during this process were then reviewed by a panel of urogynecology attendings and fellows to select patients who were truly clinical outliers. By this method we identified 10 patients (cases) who experienced early overt surgical failure. We also randomly selected 40 controls from our research database which includes greater than 500 patients who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy during the same time period and had been objectively and subjectively assessed for ⥠12 months with surgical success at ⥠12 months that did not undergo prolapse re-operation or re-treatment. Demographics and peri-operative details were compared between cases and controls. Exclusion criteria for controls included use of other graft material besides polypropylene mesh, prior surgery for prolapse involving graft material, and conversion to laparotomy. DNA from the 10 cases and 40 controls was isolated from buccal swabs and genotyped on a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array that contains 250,000 markers (NspI 250K SNP array, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). All women in this study identified as Caucasian. All subjects provided written informed consent to study participation and data release. This was a case-control study approved by the Institutional Review Board at the Atlantic Health System in Morristown New Jersey (R11-10-004). This case-control study compared single genotypes of 10 cases to 40 controls. All subjects were identified as Caucasian. Cases were women who experienced early overt POP recurrence after robotic sacrocolpopexy, and controls were randomly selected women with long term success after the same procedure.

Project description:Genome-wide 10k SNP profiling of FOXM1B-transduced N/TERT and primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK). The aim of this study was to study the cancer initiation role of UVB and FOXM1B upregulation in NHEK. Upregulation of FOXM1B alone (without UVB) was found to directly induce genomic instability in the form of copy number aberration (CNA) and low levels of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in primary NHEK. The FOXM1B-induced CNA was found to be retained and accumulated in subsequent cell culture passages. UVB-exposure resulted in significant chromosomal LOH and CNA in N/TERT cells expressing FOXM1B but not in EGFP-expressing cells. This indicates that UVB corroborated with FOXM1B to recruit LOH and CNA which may predispose cell to malignant transformation. Collectively, these results indicate that aberrant upregulation of FOXM1B in skin keratinocytes following UVB exposure may be an early mechanism whereby cells acquire genomic changes required for oncogenesis. Keywords: Genome-wide SNP profiling for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and copy number aberration (CNA), FOXM1, UVB, Keratinocytes, Basal cell carcinoma, genomic instability, carcinogenesis, squamous cell carcinoma. 1) Three individual normal primary NHEK cultures were retrovirally transduced (with either EGFP or EGFP-FOXM1B) and left to grow for 4 days prior to SNP array analysis. 2) EGFP or EGFP-FOXM1B-tansduced NHEK cells were harvested at passage 1, 2 and 3 for SNP array analysis to investigate if genomic instability is maintained and accumulated in subsequent passages. 3) N/TERT cells transduced with either EGFP or EFOX were UVB-irradiated and left to grow for 50 days in culture prior to SNP array analysis.
