DNA profiling of EpCAM-positive cells in bone marrow of early breast cancer (EBC) patients
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Parallel DNA and RNA profiling of EpCAM-positive cells in bone marrow and primary tumor tissue with positive disseminated tumor cell (DTC) count via immunomagnetic Enrichment/Flow Cytometry (IE/FC) of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients confirm their malignant nature We developed a novel approach to isolate tumor cells with high purity from bone marrow which was subjected to immunomagnetic enrichment using EpCAM beads followed by fluorescence activated cell sorting (IE/FACS) to isolate EpCAM-positive cells away from leukocytes (CD45+). For DNA profiling, sorted cells were subjected to BAC array comparative genomic hybridization analysis following whole genome amplification. For RNA profiling, QPCR analysis was performed on sixty four (64) cancer-related genes using Taqman® low density arrays. For non-tumor controls, RNA profiling was performed on matched leukocytes (CD45+) isolated from the same enriched bone marrow samples.
