Quantitative Profiling of Single Formalin Fixed Tumour Sections: proteomics for translational research.

ABSTRACT: Although re-sequencing of gene panels and mRNA expression profiling are now firmly established in clinical laboratories, in-depth proteome analysis has remained a niche technology, better suited for studying model systems rather than challenging materials such as clinical trial samples. To address this limitation, we have developed a novel and optimized platform called SP3-Clinical Tissue Proteomics (SP3-CTP) for in-depth proteome profiling of practical quantities of tumour tissues, including formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE). Using single 10??m scrolls of clinical tumour blocks, we performed in-depth quantitative analyses of individual sections from ovarian tumours covering the high-grade serous, clear cell, and endometrioid histotypes. This examination enabled the generation of a novel high-resolution proteome map of ovarian cancer histotypes from clinical tissues. Comparison of the obtained proteome data with large-scale genome and transcriptome analyses validated the observed proteome biology for previously validated hallmarks of this disease, and also identified novel protein features. A tissue microarray analysis validated cystathionine gamma-lyase (CTH) as a novel clear cell carcinoma feature with potential clinical relevance. In addition to providing a milestone in the understanding of ovarian cancer biology, these results show that in-depth proteomic analysis of clinically annotated FFPE materials can be effectively used as a biomarker discovery tool and perhaps ultimately as a diagnostic approach.

Project description:miRNA expression analysis was done on Uveal melanoma, metastatic and non - metastatic case in formalin fixed paraffin embedded sections, identified from case registry and confirmed by Chromosome insitu hybridization harboring monosomy 3 aberration in metastaic case and no aberration in non metastatic case. 19 miRNAs were found to be expressed only in class I tumors (choroidal melanoma) and not in class II (liver metastasis) and 11 miRNAs were found to be expressed only in class II and not in class I. The tumors were found to harbor oncomirs in both choroidal melanoma and metastasizing melanoma targeting tumor suppressor genes and metastatic suppressor genes. None of the differentially expressed miRNAs in either case were found to be located on the chromosomes which have been proved to carry chromosomal abnormalities. Rather it was found that genes targeted by the miRNAs were found to be present in chromosomal regions that are often found to be deleted 8p22, 13q and 17p. Organism used: Homo sapiens. * Slides: Human miRNA V2 8x15k Arrays AMADID: 19118. * Starting material: 18 slides with formalin fixed Paraffin embedded sections-20 μm. * RNA Samples used: 225-94-DUP, 225-94-E, 727-07-DUP, 727-07 -E. * Labeling kit: Agilent miRNA labeling reagent and Hybridization Kit. * Labeling Method: Ligation of one cyanine3-pCp molecule to the 3' end of RNA molecule with greater than 90% efficiency that generates fluorescent miRNA. * Total RNA and cRNA Purification Kit: Biorad MicroBio Spin 6 columns. * Hybridization Kit: Agilent miRNA Hybridization kit. Hybridization protocol See Agilent Technologies website for miRNA microarray hybridization and wash protocol: http://www.chem.agilent.com/scripts/LiteraturePDF.asp?iWHID=50500 Scan protocol Laser detection of Cyanine 3 and Cyanine 5 fluorescence is performed using a confocal scanning instrument containing two tuned lasers, which excite Cyanine dyes at the appropriate wavelengths. Description Microarrays were scanned on an Agilent scanner (G2505C) at 100% PMT with 10% for lower intensity (XDR Scanning).Data extraction was carried out with Agilent Feature Extraction software (version 9.1), and normalization was done using linear per array algorithm according to the manufacturer’s protocol Data processing Feature extracted data was analyzed using GeneSpring GX v 10.0.2 software from Agilent. Normalization of the data was done in GeneSpring GX using the recommended Percentile shift normalization (50th percentile) . Further quality control of normalized data was done using correlation based condition tree to eliminate bad experiments. High expressed miRNA's were clustered using gene tree to identify significant gene expression patterns.
