Project description:BACKGROUND: Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) is a rapidly evolving technology that still lacks complete standardization. Yet, it is of great importance to obtain robust and reproducible data to enable meaningful multiple hybridization comparisons. Special difficulties arise when aCGH is performed on archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue due to its variable DNA quality. Recently, we have developed an effective DNA quality test that predicts suitability of archival samples for BAC aCGH. METHODS: In this report, we first used DNA from a cancer cell-line (SKBR3) to optimize the aCGH protocol for automated hybridization, and subsequently optimized and validated the procedure for FFPE breast cancer samples. We aimed for highest throughput, accuracy, and reproducibility applicable to FFPE samples, which can also be important in future diagnostic use. RESULTS: Our protocol of automated array-CGH on archival FFPE ULS-labeled DNA showed very similar results compared with published data and our previous manual hybridization method. CONCLUSION: This report combines automated aCGH on unamplified archival FFPE DNA using non-enzymatic ULS labeling, and describes an optimized protocol for this combination resulting in improved quality and reproducibility. In this study, we optimized the BAC araay-CGH protocol for automated hybridization for FFPE breast cancer samples. We have tested hybridization temperature and duration, different hybridization buffer conditions, and post-hybridization washing.

Project description:Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) archival tissue is an important source of DNA material. The most commonly used technique to identify copy number aberrations from chromosomal DNA in tumorigenesis is array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Although copy number analysis using DNA from FFPE archival tissue is challenging, several research groups have reported high quality and reproducible DNA copy number results using aCGH. Aim of the present study is to compare aCGH platforms suitable for copy number analysis using FFPE derived DNA. Two dual channel aCGH platforms (Agilent and NimbleGen) and a single channel SNP based platform (Affymetrix), were evaluated using seven FFPE colon cancer samples, median absolute deviation (MAD), deflection, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and DNA input requirements were used as quality criteria. Large differences were observed in MAD values and deflection between platforms; Agilent and NimbleGen showed better MAD values (0.13 for both) compared to Affymetrix (0.22). Contrary, Affymetrix showed a better deflection of 0.94, followed by 0.71 for Agilent and 0.51 for NimbleGen. Since the deflection compensates for the MAD the Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR) were comparable; Agilent ranks first, Affymetrix second and NimbleGen third with SNRs of 3.9, 3.6 and 3.3 respectively. DNA input amounts of 40ng are sufficient for high quality profiles with Affymetrix. For Agilent DNA input amounts of 50ng are sufficient for high quality profiles. For results of similar quality NimbleGen requires at least 100ng. Copy number analysis using DNA derived from FFPE archival material is feasible and shows reproducible results on high-resolution copy number platforms. Input amounts of DNA from FFPE material lower than recommended still yield high quality profiles without additional amplification steps.

Project description:Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) often present a significant diagnostic challenge as many STS bear histologic resemblance, but are known to have very different clinical and biologic characteristics. Some STS subtypes are characterized by specific genetic abnormalities and this has helped in their classification, diagnosis and even treatment. However, a large majority of STS have no known specific genetic aberrations even though they almost always have highly aberrant karyotypes. We therefore hypothesize that the latter subgroup of STS bear genetic abnormalities that are sub-type specific, but as yet unidentified. High-resolution mapping of copy number aberrations in cancer genomes is a valuable way of identifying recurrent genomic changes that could be of pathogenetic significance. Traditionally, this has been done using high quality DNA obtained from fresh frozen tissue or cells and archived tissue is generally regarded as unsuitable because of the degradative effects of formalin fixation on DNA. Utility of archival tumour material for such molecular genetic analysis is vital, especially for rare cancers like STS but recent efforts to accomplish this have produced variable results. We therefore set out, in addition to optimize a protocol for obtaining genomic copy number data from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) STS material that is comparable to that from fresh frozen (FF) material. Microarray-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH), a high- resolution, genome-wide method was used to identify somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs) in primary STS samples (fresh frozen and archival FFPE), using an optimized protocol for labeling DNA. Findings were confirmed using Conventional Cytogenetics and Fluorescence in-situ Hybridization (FISH). Data obtained from paired samples (FF and FFPE) of the same tumours showed similar results and array results were consistently of good quality. On-going analysis of the recurrent SCNAs in combination with expression data and clinical correlates may serve to identify specific patterns that can serve as diagnostic markers, characterize subgroups with prognostic implication or identify potential therapeutic targets.

Reference DNA was obtained from same patient when possible, otherwise commercial genomic DNA was used [Promega® UK with Cat Nos. G1471 (male) and G1521 (female)].

Project description:The proteomics of archival samples has advanced significantly during the last two decades, making possible the use of vast FFPE tissue archives in biomarker studies. However, due to the limited data regarding comparison of the performance of different protocols, there is currently no consensus on the most effective protocol for shotgun proteomic analysis of FFPE tissue. In-solution digestion method using Rapigest as detergent and FASP method, both reported to deliver superior results on FFPE tissues were compared using two label-free data-independent LC-MS/MS acquisition modes. Archival FFPE prostate tissues stored 7 years and mirroring fresh frozen samples were processed with both protocols in 3 technical replicates. Data were comparatively evaluated in terms of protein and peptide identifications in fresh frozen and FFPE samples, analysis of the fresh and FFPE tissues representative proteome (molecular weight distribution, distribution according to protein’s pI, cellular component analysis of proteins and quantitation accuracy) and technical reproducibility of the Rapigest and FASP protocols.

Project description:Purpose: Only a limited number of genetic studies have been performed in primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL), partly due to the rarity of the tumors and the very limited amount of available tissue. In this report, we present the first molecular characterization of copy-number abnormalities (CNA) of newly diagnosed PCNSL by array-based comparative genomic hybridization in formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens and compare the results with matched frozen tumor specimens. Experimental design: We performed array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) in FFPE tissues from PCNSL. Results were compared with matched paired frozen tumors. Results: Our analysis confirmed the good to fair quality and reliability of the data generated from limited amounts of tumoral FFPE tissue. Overall, all PCNSL cases were characterized by highly complex karyotypes with a median of 23 copy-number abnormalities (CNA) per patient (range 17-47). Overall, 20 chromosomal regions were recurrently found in more than 40% of cases. Deletions of 6p21, 6q, 9p21.3 and gain of 12q12-q24.33 were the commonest CNA. Other minimal affected regions were defined, and novel recurrent CNAs affecting single genes were identified in 3q26.32 (TBL1XR1) and 8q12.1 (TOX). Conclusions: The results obtained are encouraging. Larger archival tissue collections can now be analyzed in order to complement the still fragmented knowledge we have of the genetic basis of the PCNSL. We included samples from 7 PCNSL patients. In 6 out of these 7 PCNSL patients (cases B – G), aCGH experiments were performed in DNA samples obtained from both snap-frozen and FFPE tissues for assay quality comparative purposes. In the remaining sample (case A), only frozen sample was analyzed.

Project description:In the study of tumor genetics, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumors are the most readily available tissue samples. While DNA derived from FFPE tissue has been validated for array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) application, the suitability of such fragmented DNA for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis has not been well examined. Furthermore, whole-genome amplification (WGA) has been used in the study of small precursor lesions to produce sufficient amount of DNA for aCGH analysis. It is unclear whether the same approach can be extended to SNP analysis. In this study, we examined the utility and limitations of genotyping platform performed on whole-genome amplified DNA from FFPE tumor samples for both copy number and SNP analyses. We analyzed the results obtained using DNA derived from matched FFPE and frozen tissue samples on Affymetrix 250K Nsp SNP array. Two widely used WGA methods, Qiagen (isothermal protocol) and Sigma (thermocycling protocol), were used to determine how WGA methods affect the results. We found that the use of DNA derived from FFPE tumors (without or with WGA) for high-resolution SNP array application can produce a significant amount of false positive and false negative findings. While some of these misinterpretations appear to cluster in genomic regions with high or low GC contents, the majority appears to occur randomly. Only large-scale chromosome LOH (>10Mb) can be reliably detected from FFPE tumor DNA samples (without or with WGA) but not smaller LOH or copy number alterations. Our findings here indicate a need for caution in SNP array data interpretation when using FFPE tumor-derived DNA, particularly with WGA.
