Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. The reliability of differential expression analysis on FFPE expression profiles from Affymetrix arrays is questionable, due to the wide range of percent-present values reported in studies which profiled FFPE samples on Affymetrix arrays. Moreover the validity of externally defined gene-modules in FFPE microarray expression profiles is unknown. Using eight breast cancer tumors with available frozen and FFPE samples, five sample-matched data sets were generated from different combination of Affymetrix arrays, amplification-and-labeling kit and sample preservation method. The reliability of differential expression analysis was investigated by developing de novo ER/HER2 pathway gene-modules from matched data sets and validating it on external data set using ROC analysis. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient of module scores between matched FFPE-frozen expression profiles was used to measure reliability of externally defined gene-modules in FFPE expression profiles. Independent of array/amplification-kit/sample preservation method used, de novo ER/HER2 gene-modules derived from all matching data sets showed similar prediction performance during independent validation (AUC range; ER: 0.92-0.95, HER2: 0.88-0.91), except for de novo HER2 gene-module derived from FFPE data set with 3'IVT kit (AUC: 0.67-0.72). Further not all gene-module based biological signals present in frozen expression profiles can be recovered from matching FFPE microarray expression profiles using the currently available FFPE specific sample preparation kits. The gene-module based biological signal extracted from FFPE RNA, using microarrays, may not be as reliable as that from their frozen counterpart, if the sample preparation protocol used with FFPE RNA failed to recover relevant genes involved in the biological signal.

Project description:The reliability of differential gene expression analysis on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) expression profiles generated using Affymetrix arrays is questionable, due to the high range of percent-present values reported in studies which profiled FFPE samples using this technology. Moreover, the validity of gene-modules derived from external datasets in FFPE microarray expression profiles is unknown. By generating matched gene expression profiles using RNAs derived from fresh-frozen (FF) and FFPE preserved breast tumors with Affymetrix arrays and FF/FFPE RNA specific amplification-and-labeling kits, the reliability of differential expression analysis and the validity of gene modules derived from external datasets were investigated. Specifically, the reliability of differential expression analysis was investigated by developing de-novo ER/HER2 pathway gene-modules from the matched datasets and validating them on external FF/FFPE gene expression datasets using ROC analysis. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient of module scores between matched FFPE/frozen datasets was used to measure the reliability of gene-modules derived from external datasets in FFPE expression profiles. Independent of the array/amplification-kit/sample preservation method used, de-novo ER/HER2 gene-modules derived from all matched datasets showed similar prediction performance in the independent validation (AUC range in FFPE dataset; ER: 0.93-0.95, HER2: 0.85-0.91), except for the de-novo ER/HER2 gene-module derived from the FFPE dataset using the 3'IVT kit (AUC range in FFPE dataset; ER: 0.79-0.81, HER2: 0.78). Among the external gene modules considered, roughly ~50% gene modules showed high concordance between expression profiles derived from matching FF and FFPE RNA. The remaining discordant gene modules between FF and FFPE expression profiles showed high concordance within matching FF datasets and within matching FFPE datasets independently, implying that microarrays still require improved amplification-and-sample-preparation protocols for deriving 100% concordant expression profiles from matching FF and FFPE RNA.

Project description:Microglia are multifunctional cells that are important for brain development and homeostasis. Despite the growing evidence of their complexity, the field lacks a unified system for categorizing the many microglial states. In an effort to develop a comprehensive classification system, we profiled transcriptomes of mouse microglia in 96 different stimulus conditions. We generated fine-resolution gene modules that are robustly preserved across datasets by employing a two-step clustering approach. These modules served as the basis for a combinatorial code that we then used to characterize microglial activation under inflammatory stimulus conditions in vitro. Many of the modules were preserved in vivo, and were differentially regulated during acute inflammation and in aging. In summary, the microglial gene modules presented here are a novel resource for classifying and characterizing microglial states in health and disease.

Project description:To study feasibility of gene expression profiling from FFPE tissues using NuGen amplified mRNA hybridized on Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays, we designed a pilot study utilizing samples from prostate cancer cohort. We selected samples from large-scale epidemiologic studies and clinical trials representative of a wide variety of fixation times, block ages and block storage conditions. We profiled seven paired tumor and adjacent normal prostate tissue samples from three patients with Gleason score 8, one with Gleason score 7 and three with Gleason 6 disease. 11 samples had two or three technical replicates.
