Project description:Background and Aims Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is the most commonly available form of archived clinical specimens, which are often stored as thin sections on glass slides. RNA isolated from such archived section (AS) of FFPE tissue is more degraded compared to freshly cut (FC) FFPE section because of prolonged air exposure. In this study, we evaluated performance of transcriptome profiling-based disease classification in AS-FFPE tissue. Methods Genome-wide gene-expression profiles of AS-FFPE tissues of 83 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 47 liver cirrhosis samples were generated by using whole-genome DASL assay (Illumina), and compared with the profiles previously produced by using FC tissue sections from the same FFPE blocks. Quality of the profiles and performance of gene signature-based class prediction were systematically evaluated. Results RNA quality and assay reproducibility of AS-FFPE RNA were comparable to intermediate ~ poor quality FC-FFPE samples (R2 as high as 0.93). Gene-expression signal was detected in lower number of probes in AS FFPE samples compared to FC-FFPE samples (proportion of probes with present signal (%P-call): 10%~60% and 70%~90% in AS- and FC-FFPE profiles, respectively). Based on %P-call quality threshold of 20%, 64/88 (77%) HCC and 37/48 (77%) liver profiles were judged as having relatively good quality data with comparable inter-sample correlation. Inter-sample correlation coefficient, as a measure to detect outlier profiles due to poor RNA quality, was also lower in AS-FFPE (0.4~0.9) compared to FC-FFPE (0.6~1.0). In the genome-wide profiling analysis, previously identified molecular subclasses of HCC tumors were reproduced in 67/83 (81%) samples, which was improved to 43/48 (90%) samples when we focused on statistically confident predictions (p<0.05). A 186-gene prognostic signature in liver cirrhosis was reproduced in 32/47 (68%) samples, which was slightly improved to 11/16 (69%) when focused on statistically significant predictions. Conclusions We observed decay of genome-wide transcriptional profiles in AS-FFPE tissues in quantitative manner. However, disease classification was still possible, which suggests potential of AS-FFPE material for clinical diagnosis and prognosis.

Project description:An integrative functional genomics of multiple forms of data is vital for discovering molecular drivers of cancer development and progression. Here, we present an integrated genomic strategy utilizing DNA methylation and transcriptome profile data to discover epigenetically regulated genes implicated in cancer development and invasive progression. More specifically, this analysis identified Fibromodulin (FMOD) as a glioblastoma (GBM) upregulated gene due to the loss of promoter methylation. Secreted FMOD promotes glioma cell migration through its ability to induce filamentous actin stress fiber formation. Treatment with Cytochalasin D, an actin polymerization inhibitor, significantly reduced the FMOD induced glioma cell migration. siRNA and small molecule inhibitor-based studies identified that FMOD-induced glioma cell migration is dependent on Integrin-FAK-Src-Rho-ROCK signaling pathway. FMOD lacking C terminus LRR11 domain (FMOD), which does not bind collagen type I, failed to induce integrin and promote glioma cell migration. Further, FMOD-induced integrin activation and migration was abrogated by a 9-mer wild type peptide from the FMOD C-terminus. However, the same peptide with mutation in two residues essential for FMOD interaction with collagen type I failed to compete with FMOD, thus signifying the importance of collagen type I-FMOD interaction in integrin activation. ChIP-PCR experiments revealed that TGF-Ã1 regulates FMOD expression through epigenetic remodeling of FMOD promoter that involved demethylation and gain of active histone marks with a simultaneous loss of DNMT3A and EZH2 occupancy, but enrichment of SMAD2 and CBP. FMOD silencing inhibited the TGF-Ã1 mediated glioma cell migration significantly. In univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis, both FMOD promoter methylation and transcript levels predicted prognosis in GBM. Thus, the present study identified several epigenetically regulated alterations responsible for cancer development and progression. Specifically, we found that secreted FMOD as an important regulator of glioma cell migration downstream of TGF-Ã1 pathway and forms a potential basis for therapeutic intervention in GBM. We used DNA isolated from 17 diffuse astrocytoma, 16 anaplastic astrocytoma, 36 glioblastoma and 9 control brain tissue for the array. P53 status: All cases were subjected to histopathology and the diagnosis of GBM was confirmed. Paraffin sections (4 μm) from the tissues were collected on silane-coated slides, and the protein expression of p53 was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Antigen retrieval was done by heat treatment at 850W in citrate buffer or at 700W. After the initial processing steps, sections were incubated overnight with primary antibody for p53 (Mouse Monoclonal DO-7; Biogenex, USA)at 4°C with 1: 200 dilution. MIB: Paraffin blocks of all the cases were retrieved, and histological features were reviewed on freshly cut and stained (hematoxylin and eosin) sections. After confirming the diagnosis of glioblastoma, 4 µm thick sections were collected on silane-coated slides, and IHC was performed using MIB-1 (anti Ki-67 monoclonal BGX 297, diluted to 1:30) EGFR status: Paraffin blocks of all the cases were retrieved, and histological features were reviewed on freshly cut and stained (hematoxylin and eosin) sections. After confirming the diagnosis of glioblastoma, 4 µm thick sections were collected on silane-coated slides, and IHC was performed using EGFR (monoclonal E-30, diluted to 1:50) GFAP status: Paraffin blocks of all the cases were retrieved, and histological features were reviewed on freshly cut and stained (hematoxylin and eosin) sections. After confirming the diagnosis of glioblastoma, 4 µm thick sections were collected on silane-coated slides, and IHC was performed using glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, monoclonal GA-5, diluted to 1:100).

Project description:FFPE tissues samples were cut in 5-µm-thick sections on a microtome with a disposable blade. RNA was extracted either from three or eight sequential sections using miRNeasy FFPE Kit (QIAGEN), following the steps described in the manufacturers protocol. RNA extracted from same biological samples and different numbers of sections were pooled. Total RNA was fluorescently labelled, amplified in triplicate, to be then pooled, for hybridization. Each pool, were hybridized for 18 hours on Illumina v2 MicroRNA Expression BeadChips, and after scanning, the intensity files were analized.

Project description:Here we describe the development of a robust method for RNA extraction and exome-capture RNA-sequencing of laser-capture microdissected (LCM) tumor cells (TC) and stromal immune cells (TIL) based on their morphology. We applied this method on seven tumor specimens and microbiopsies of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) stored in FFPE blocks. Together, we showed that combining LCM and RNA-sequencing on archived FFPE blocks is feasible and allows spatial transcriptional characterization of the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Seasonal nitrogen (N) storage and reuse is important to the N-use efficiency of temperate deciduous trees. In poplar, bark storage proteins (BSPs) accumulate in protein storage vacuoles of the bark parenchyma and xylem ray cells in the fall. During spring growth, N from stored BSPs is remobilized and utilized by growing shoots. The goal of this study is to investigate global gene expression changes in the bark during BSP remobilization and shoot regrowth under long-day conditions. Long-day (LD) grown poplar (Populus trichocarpa, Nisqually-1) plants were transferred to short-day (SD) for 8 weeks at 20°C followed by an addition 12 weeks of SD at 10°C (day) and 4°C (night). Following this treatment plants were then moved to LD and 20°C for 3 weeks for regrowth. Bark samples were collected from plants released from dormancy just prior to transfer to LD and at weekly intervals for 3 weeks after exposure to LD at 20°C.

Project description:Attempts to establish a tissue bank from autopsy samples have led to uncovering of the secrets of many diseases. Here, we examined the length of time that the RNA from postmortem tissues is available for microarray analysis and reported the gene expression profile for up- and down-regulated genes during the postmortem interval (PMI). We extracted RNA from fresh-frozen (FF) and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) brains and livers of three different groups of mice: 1) mice immediately after death, 2) mice that were stored at room temperature for 3 h after death, and 3) mice that were stored at 4°C for 18 h after death, as this storage resembles the human autopsy process in Japan. Based on the microarray analysis, we selected genes that were altered by >1.3-fold or <0.77-fold and classified these genes using hierarchical cluster analysis following DAVID (database for annotation, visualization, and integrated discovery) gene ontology analysis. These studies revealed that cytoskeleton-related genes were enriched in the set of up-regulated genes, while serine protease inhibitors were enriched in the set of down-regulated genes. Interestingly, although the RNA quality was maintained, up-regulated genes were not validated by quantitative PCR, suggesting that these genes may become fragmented or modified by an unknown mechanism. We extracted RNA from fresh-frozen (FF) brains and livers from mice under three different conditions: 1) mice just after death as a control, 2) mice that were stored at room temperature for 3 h after death, and 3) mice that were stored at 4°C for 18 h after death to resemble the human autopsy process. We also created formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks at the same time using mouse organs obtained under the three conditions described above. We then purified RNA from the FFPE tissue blocks. Furthermore, we performed microarray analysis to examine changes in the gene expression profiles during the postmortem interval in FF samples and to compare ene expression profiles between FF and FFPE samples at three different postmortem times as described for the FF samples.

Project description:This is a study to characterize gene expression profiles in stored Russet Burbank potato tubers. Tubers were harvested from commercial fields in the central sands region of Wisconsin in the fall of 2006. The tubers were put into storage at 55 degrees F for preconditioning and wound healing. Shortly after the temperature of the storage bin began to decrease, uniform, healthy tubers were selected for use in this microarray analysis. Tubers were at 53.6 degrees F at this time, and pieces of starch-storing tissue were collected for use as the reference sample. Other tubers were moved to temperature-controlled lockers and these were cooled gradually to either 48 or 40 degrees F following industry standard procedures. The expectation was that tubers held at 48 degrees would not have a significant accumulation of glucose and fructose, but that tubers cooled to 40 degrees would undergo low temperature sweetening and accumulate glucose and fructose to a degree that is unsuitable for processing. Three weeks later, when the locker temperatures were 48 degrees F and 41.5 degrees F, tissue samples were collected for RNA analysis. After another three weeks, samples were collected from tubers at 48 degrees F and 40 degrees F. At that time some tubers were moved from the 48 degree locker to the 40 degree locker in order to see if gene expression changes observed as a result of gradual cooling are similar to those that occur following a sudden decrease in temperature. Three weeks later, samples were collected from tubers held at 48 degrees F, tubers held at 40 degrees F, and from the tubers that were moved from 48 to 40 degrees F. At this time another set of tubers was transferred from 48 degrees to 40 degrees. Three weeks later the last samples were harvested from tubers held at 48 degrees F, from tubers held at 48 degrees F and from tubers that were transferred three weeks prior from 48 to 40 degrees. RNA was isolated from tissue extracted from three tubers. Keywords: Reference design
