RNA-seq of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded uninvolved terminal ileal tissue obtained from ileo-colic resection surgeries of Crohns disease and control patients

ABSTRACT: The interpretation of transcriptional profiling studies of intestinal tissue from Crohns disease patients and control patients can be confounded by differing proportions of cell subsets (e.g. immune cells) present in these samples. In this study, we aimed to control for cellular composition using standard, archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens from Crohns patients (n=36) and controls (n=32) who underwent intestinal resection surgery. This approach allowed us to use the same tissue specimens for histological screening to select study samples with similar cellular composition and for RNA extraction for RNA-seq transcriptional profiling. We hypothesized that this approach would allow us to more clearly identify molecular signatures in ileal tissue that were associated with Crohns disease-associated pathological mechanisms.
