Project description:New therapeutics targeting immune checkpoint proteins have significantly advanced treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but protein level quantitation of drug targets presents a critical problem. We used multiplexed, targeted mass spectrometry (MS) to quantify the immunotherapy target proteins PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, IDO1, LAG3, TIM-3, VISTA, GITR, and CD40 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) NSCLC specimens. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and MS measurements for PD-L1 were weakly correlated, but IHC did not distinguish protein abundance differences detected by MS. PD-L2 abundance exceeded PD-L1 in over half the specimens and the drug target proteins all displayed different abundance patterns. mRNA correlated with protein abundance only for PD-1, PD-L1, and IDO1 and tumor mutation burden did not predict abundance of any protein targets. Global proteome analyses identified distinct proteotypes associated with high PD-L1-expressing and high IDO1-expressing NSCLC. MS quantification of multiple drug targets and tissue proteotypes can improve clinical evaluation of immunotherapies for NSCLC.

Project description:To characterize histology-based transcriptional heterogeneity of human hepatoblastoma, Smart-3SEQ was used to perform RNA sequencing of distinct histologic regions isolated by laser capture microdissection from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary human hepatoblastoma specimens.
Project description:In order to investigate miRNA alterations associated to early relapse in ovarian cancer patietns, we analyzed miRNA expression profile in a test set of 30 surgical specimens including 13 early and 17 late relapsing patients. Samples included in test set were obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens.
