Project description:Umbilical cord blood could serve as useful source of blood markers enabling more efficient and reliable prenatal and neonatal diagnostics. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ubiquitous in body fluids where they were used for detecting and monitoring various physiological and pathological conditions. In this descriptive study, we aimed to identify changes in miRNA expression profiles associated with basic maternal somatic and epidemiological characteristics.

Project description:About 230 clinical trials currently explore the role of circulating tumor cell (CTC) analysis for therapy decisions, but no assays enable comprehensive molecular characterization of CTCs with diagnostic precision. We therefore combined a workflow for CTC enrichment and isolation with 100% purity with a non-random whole genome amplifiation method for single cells and applied it to 510 single CTCs and 189 leukocytes of 66 breast cancer patients. We defined a genome integrity index (GII) to identify cells suited for molecular chracterization by different molecular assay in more than 90% of single cells, such as diagnostic profiling for point mutations, gene amplifications and whole genomes of single cells. The high reliability on clinical samples enabled assessing the molecular heterogeneity of single CTCs of metastatic breast cancer patients. We readily identified therapeutically relevant genomic disparity between primary tumors and CTCs. Microheterogeneity analysis among individual CTCs uncovered preexisting cells reistsant to ERBB2 targeted therapies suggesting ongoing microevolution at late stage disease whose exploration may provide essential information for personalized treatment decisions. The analysis aimed to indentify profiles of copy number changes in genomic DNA of single circulating tumor cells (CTCs). For this, CTCs were enrched using the FDA approved CellSearch System and single-cell were isolated using the DEPArray System. Subsequently, single-cell DNA was amplified using the Ampli1 WGA Kits and subjected to single-cell aCGH analysis according to previously published protocol (Czyz ZT et al., PLoS One. 2014 Jan 21;9(1):e85907). The analysis included 38 single CTCs and 10 white blood cells (WBCs) obtained from 16 breast cancer patient. WBCs were used as controls for the analysis. In addition, four CTC cell pools were included in the analysis. This was done to show the discrepancies between the profiles of individual cells and corresponing average genomic profile of CTCs in a patient material (cell pools), thereby demonstrating the importance of the analysis on the cell-by-cell basis. The reference sample used for all aCGH experiments consisted of a pool of four single-cell WGA products generated from WBCs of a healthy female donor.

Project description:Ηepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for the majority of primary liver cancers. Early de-tection/diagnosis is vital for the prognosis of HCC whereas diagnosis at late stages is associated with very low survival rate. Early diagnosis is based on patient’s 6 month surveillance and use of at least two imaging modalities. The aim of this study was to investigate diagnostic markers for the detection of early HCC based on proteome analysis, microRNAs (miRNAs) and circulat-ing tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of patients with cirrhosis, early and advanced HCC. We studied 89 patients with HCC of whom 33 had early HCC and 28 cirrhotic patients. CTCs were detected by Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR and immunofluorescence using the markers Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM), Vimentin, A Fetoprotein (AFP) and surface major Vault protein (sMVP). Expression of the five most commonly HCC-involved miRNAs (miR-122, miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-221, miR-222) was examined in the serum by qRT-PCR. Finally patient serum was analyzed by whole proteome analysis (LC/MS). Twenty seven out of 53 (51%) patients with advanced HCC had detectable CTCs. Among them, 10/27 (37%) presented evidence of mesenchymal or intermediate stage cells (vimentin and/or sMVP positive). Moreover, 5/17 (29%) patients with early HCC and 6/28 (21%) cirrhotic patients had detectable CTCs. Patients with early and advanced HCC exhibited a significant increase of miR-200b when compared to cirrhotic patients. Our proteome analysis indicated that early HCC patients present a significant upregulation of APOA2, APOC3 proteins when compared to cir-rhotic patients, that when used in combination, cover the 100% of the patients with early HCC. In conclusion, miR-200b, APOA2 and APOC3 proteins are sensitive markers and can be poten-tially useful in combination for the early diagnosis of HCC.

Project description:Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) encompass multiple analytes, interrogated by sampling blood from patients with cancer. However, the clinical utility of tumor cell-based liquid biopsy has proven to be limited since CTCs are rare, and current technologies cannot process larger blood volumes required to isolate a sufficient number of tumor cells. We have described a high-throughput microfluidic prototype utilizing high-flow channels and amplification of cell sorting forces through magnetic lenses. Here, we apply this technology to analyze patient-derived leukapheresis products, interrogating a mean blood volume of 5.83 liters from patients with metastatic cancer and achieving a median of 2,799 CTCs per patient. Isolation of many CTCs from individual patients enables characterization of their morphological and molecular heterogeneity, including cell and nuclear size and RNA expression. It also allows robust detection of gene copy number variation (CNV), a definitive cancer marker with potential diagnostic applications. High-volume microfluidic enrichment of CTCs constitutes a new dimension in liquid biopsies.

Project description:Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related deaths in patients with solid tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and epigenetic alterations are involved in the development of metastasis. It is important to characterize the DNA methylation pattern of metastasis-competent CTCs to better understand the metastatic process and obtain new clinical applications for cancer patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the DNA methylation landscape of metastasis-competent CTCs in CRC. The DNA methylome of the human colorectal cancer-derived cell line CTC-MCC-41 was compared with primary (HT29, Caco2, HCT116, RKO) and metastatic (SW620 and COLO205) CRC cells using a genome-wide methylation analysis.

Project description:Selective isolation of DNA is crucial for applications in biology, bionanotechnology, clinical diagnostics and forensics. We herein report a smart methanol-responsive polymer (MeRPy) that can be programmed to bind and separate single- as well as double-stranded DNA targets. Captured targets are quickly isolated and released back into solution by denaturation (sequence-agnostic) or toehold-mediated strand displacement (sequence-selective). The latter mode allows 99.8% efficient removal of unwanted sequences and 79% recovery of highly pure target sequences. We applied MeRPy for the depletion of insulin, glucagon, and transthyretin cDNA from clinical next-generation sequencing (NGS) libraries. This step improved data quality for low-abundance transcripts in expression profiles of pancreatic tissues. Its low cost, scalability, high stability and ease of use make MeRPy suitable for diverse applications in research and clinical laboratories, including enhancement of NGS libraries, extraction of DNA from biological samples, preparative-scale DNA isolations, and sorting of DNA-labeled non-nucleic acid targets.

Project description:<p>Comprehensive analyses of cancer genomes in clinical settings promise to inform prognoses and guide the deployment of precise cancer treatments. A major barrier, however, is the inaccessibility of adequate metastatic tissue for accurate genomic analysis in prostate and other cancers. A potential solution is to characterize circulating tumor cells (CTCs), but this requires overcoming multiple technical hurdles. Here, we report an integrated process to isolate, qualify, and sequence whole exomes of CTCs with high fidelity, using a census-based sequencing strategy. Power calculations suggest that mapping of over 99.995% of the territory accessible in bulk exome sequencing is possible in CTCs. We validated our sequencing process in two prostate cancer patients including one for whom we compared CTC-derived mutations to mutations found in a lymph node metastasis and nine cores of the primary tumor. 51 of 73 CTC mutations (70%) were observed in matched tissue. Moreover, we identified 10 early trunk mutations and 56 metastatic trunk mutations in the non-CTC tumor samples and found 90% and 73% of these, respectively, in CTC exomes. This study establishes a foundation for CTC genomics in the clinic.</p>
