Project description:This study introduces the identification of genome-wide cancer-specific chromatin signatures from archival tissues using nanodroplet-assisted FAIRE-seq. Our enhanced cavitation method, a nanodroplet reagent consisting of a lipid shell with a liquid perfluorocarbon core, facilitated the extraction of intact chromatin from FFPE xenograft tissues across 3 cancer types, encompassing 10 cell lines. Chromatin states that influence gene expression and other nuclear processes can be altered in disease. Studying these patterns in tissues has been limited since existing chromatin accessibility assays are ineffective for archival formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues. Inclusion of nanodroplets during the extraction of chromatin from FFPE tissues enhances the recovery of intact accessible and nucleosome-bound chromatin. We demonstrate that the addition of nanodroplets to the chromatin accessibility assay FAIRE (formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements), does not affect the accessible chromatin signal. Applying the technique to FFPE human tumor xenografts, we identified tumor-relevant regions of accessible chromatin shared with those identified in primary tumors. Further, we deconvoluted non-tumor signal to identify cellular components of the tumor microenvironment. Incorporation of this method of enhanced cavitation into FAIRE offers the potential for extending chromatin accessibility to clinical diagnosis and personalized medicine, while also enabling the exploration of gene regulatory mechanisms is archival samples.

Project description:Chromatin marks are associated with transcriptional regulatory activities. Here, We developed a method termed Chrom-seq to efficiently capture RNAs associated with various chromatin marks in living cells. Chrom-seq jointly applies highly specific chromatin-mark reader with APEX2 which catalyzes the oxidation of biotin-aniline to label the adjacent RNAs for isolation by streptavidin-coated beads. Using the readers of mCBX7/dPC, mCBX1 and mTAF3, we detected RNA species significantly associated with H3K27me3, H3K9me3 and H3K4me3, respectively. Chrom-seq provides an antibody-free approach to systematically map RNAs at chromatin marks with potential regulatory roles in different epigenetic events.

Project description:In this study, the efficiency of four RNA extraction methods was compared on 23 FFPE cardiac tissue specimens. The Qiagen AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE kit (Method QP), Qiagen AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE kit, with protocol modification on the ethanol wash step after deparaffinization (Method QE), CELLDATA RNAstorm 2.0 FFPE RNA Extraction kit (Method BP) and CELLDATA RNAstorm 2.0 FFPE RNA Extraction Kit with protocol modifications on the lysis step (Method BL). In comparing RNA quality metrics across FFPE RNA extract, nucleic acids extracted with Method QE and QP had the highest RNA yield. However, Method QE outperformed Method QP as more extract from Method QE had DV 200 values above 30%. Both method BL and BP produced a similar range of RNA purity and yield but more extract from Method BL had DV 200 values above 30% compared to Method BP. When accessing distribution value, Method BL outperformed Methods BP, QE, and QP as more extracts from Method BL had DV 200 values above 30% (16/23 samples) compared to other methods (PDV200<0.001; Kruskal-Wallis). However, method QE outperformed other methods in terms of RNA yield. The sequencing performance of RNA extracts from Method QE and Method BL was further tested on 8 matching samples with high RNA yield and high DV200 value respectively. RNA extracts from Method QE which yielded the highest RNA quantity among all methods exhibited comparable sequencing performance to extract obtained through Method BL, which yielded extract with high DV200 value. This study suggests that the DV200 and RNA yield are both reliable pre-analytic metrics in determining a suitable method for successful transcriptome sequencing of FFPE samples and have important implications for future studies exploring transcriptome sequencing of FFPE cardiac specimens.

Project description:Advent of mass spectrometry based proteomics has revolutionized our ability to study proteins from biological specimenin a high-throughput manner. Unlike cell line based studies, biomedical research involving tissue specimen is often challenging due to limited sample availability. In addition, investigation of clinically relevant research questions often requires enormous amount of time for sample collection prospectively. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) archived tissue samples are a rich source of tissue specimen for biomedical research. However, there are several challenges associated with analysing FFPE samples. Protein cross-linking and degradation of proteins particularly affects proteomic analysis We demonstrate that barocycler that uses pressure-cycling technology enables efficient protein extraction and processing of small amounts of FFPE tissue samplesfor proteomic analysis. We identified 3,525 proteins from six 10µm esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissue sections. Barocycler allows efficient protein extraction and proteolytic digestion of proteins from FFPE tissue sections where conventional methods have limited success

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRs) are non-coding RNA molecules involved in post-transcriptional regulation, with diverse functions in tissue development, differentiation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. miRs may be less prone to degradation during formalin fixation, facilitating miR expression studies in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue. Our study demonstrates that the TaqMan Human MicroRNA Array v1.0 (Early Access) platform is suitable for miR expression analysis in FFPE tissue with a high reproducibility (correlation coefficients of 0.95 between duplicates, p<0.00001) and outlines the optimal performance conditions of this platform using clinical FFPE samples. We outline a method of data analysis looking at differences in miR abundance between FFPE and fresh-frozen samples. By dividing the profiled miR into abundance strata of high (Ct<30), medium (30<Ct<35), and low (Ct>35), we show that reproducibility between technical replicates, equivalent dilutions, and FFPE vs. frozen samples is best in the high abundance stratum. We also demonstrate that the miR expression profiles of FFPE samples are comparable to those of fresh-frozen samples, with a correlation of up to 0.87 (p<0.001), when examining all miRs, regardless of RNA extraction method used. Examining correlation coefficients between FFPE and fresh-frozen samples in terms of miR abundance reveals correlation coefficients of up to 0.32 (low abundance), 0.70 (medium abundance) and up to 0.97 (high abundance). Our study aims to demonstrate the utility, reproducibility, and optimization steps needed in miR expression studies using FFPE samples on a high-throughput quantitative PCR-based miR platform, opening up a realm of research possibilities for retrospective studies.

Project description:Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are an invaluable resource for retrospective studies but protein extraction and subsequent sample processing steps have shown to be challenging for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Streamlined high-throughput sample preparation workflows are essential for efficient peptide extraction from complex clinical specimens such as fresh frozen tissues or FFPE. Overall, proteome analysis has gained significant improvements in the instrumentation, acquisition methods, sample preparation workflows and analysis pipelines yet even the most recent FFPE workflows remain complex and are not readily scalable. Here, we present an optimized workflow for Automated Sonication-free Acid-assisted Proteome (ASAP) extraction from FFPE sections. ASAP enables efficient protein extraction from FFPE specimens achieving similar proteome coverage as established methods using time in equipment-heavy sonication-based methods at reduced sample processing time. The broad applicability of ASAP on archived pediatric tumor FFPE specimens resulted in high-quality data with increased proteome coverage and quantitative reproducibility. Our study demonstrates the practicality and superiority of the ASAP workflow as a streamlined, time and cost-effective pipeline for high-throughput FFPE proteomics of clinical specimens.

Project description:Laser-capture microdissection (LCM) allows the visualization and isolation of morphologically distinct subpopulations of cells from heterogeneous tissue specimens. In combination with formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue it provides a powerful tool for retrospective and clinically relevant studies of tissue proteins in a healthy and diseased context. In this study, we have developed an optimized protocol to facilitate efficient LCM analysis of FFPE tissue specimens. First, we optimized protein extraction from FFPE tissue by comparing different extraction buffers and investigating the influence of immunohistochemical and haematoxylin & eosin staining on proteins. SDS present in the protein extracts was removed with the SP3 digest method, which was modified to improve protein and peptide recoveries. Using a label-free approach protein expression of microdissected samples was compared to intact tissue sections from substantia nigra to evaluate the efficiency of LCM for the purification of small cell populations. The optimized protocol was used to analyse samples containing as few as ~3,000 cells isolated from the substantia nigra, using FFPE tissue. Replicate samples of 15 healthy donors were analysed in five separate TMT10plex batches, resulting in the quantification of >5,600 protein groups.
