Project description:For the effectiveness of targeted immunotherapy, which is currently one of the most promising treatments for brain tumors, it is necessary to know specific tumor-associated antigens (TAA). This project aimed to validate the suitability of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material instead of fresh-frozen material for RNA sequencing and downstream TAA identification. Purpose: Detect potential oligodendroglioma-associated antigens using both fresh-frozen and FFPE brain tissues; assess the suitability of the FFPE material for TAA identification. Results: A comparative analysis based on the RNA-seq of canine oligodendroglioma showed that formalin fixation of the samples had a significant effect on the RNA-seq library in terms of quality. Read distribution analysis showed that the FFPE samples contained fewer reads mapping to exonic regions and were enriched with reads mapped to introns and intergenic regions, while the fresh-frozen samples were mostly enriched in reads mapping to exons. Mismatch profile and SNVs calling analyses revealed some substitution artefacts present in the FFPE samples and absent in the corresponding fresh-frozen samples. However, according to the Principal Component Analysis, 36% of the variance between the samples could be explained by the types of conservation, while 43% of the variance could still be attributed to different expression profiles between oligodendroglioma and control conditions. A differential expression analysis of fresh-frozen oligodendroglioma versus fresh-frozen control samples identified 62 potential TAA strongly up-regulated in tumor tissue. The same analysis using the FFPE samples showed 80% of these genes (49/62) also to be differentially expressed. Comparative analysis showed good agreement between FFPE and fresh-frozen RNA-seq libraries in terms of the accuracy of gene expression measurements indicating that archived FFPE tissue can be used for identification of TAA candidates by RNA-seq providing a wealthy source of clinical samples for research. The following 10 genes encoding cell surface proteins have been identified by both approaches as potential TAA candidates based on their strong overexpression in oligodendrogliomas: PDGFRA, NOTCH1, DLL1, GPER1, TNR, IQGAP3, CD44, ERBB3, BCAS1 and ROR2. Future projects still need to investigate their suitability as TAA for targeted immunotherapy. Conclusion: Formalin fixation of the samples had a significant impact on the RNA-seq quality in terms of the accuracy of gene expression measurements, as well as the quality of the nucleotide sequences. Nevertheless, the comparative analysis showed good agreement between FFPE and fresh-frozen RNA-seq libraries.

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) tissues are a vast resource of annotated clinical samples. As such, they represent highly desirable and informative materials for the application of high-definition genomics for improved patient management and to advance the development of personalized therapeutics. However, a limitation of FFPE tissues is the variable quality of DNA extracted for analyses. Furthermore, admixtures of non-tumor and polyclonal neoplastic cell populations limit the number of biopsies that can be studied and make it difficult to define cancer genomes in patient samples. To exploit these valuable tissues, we applied flow cytometry-based methods to isolate pure populations of tumor cell nuclei from FFPE tissues and developed a methodology compatible with oligonucleotide array CGH and whole exome sequencing analyses. These were used to profile a variety of tumors (breast, brain, bladder, ovarian and pancreas), including the genomes and exomes of matching fresh frozen and FFPE pancreatic adenocarcinoma samples. A total of 23 test samples were each hybridized with a pooled 46,XX commercial reference (Promega catalog# G1521, Madison, WI). Twenty-two of the test samples included flow-sorted fresh frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples. The tissues included pancreatic adenocarcinomas, breast carcinomas, small cell carcinoma of the ovary, glioblastoma, and bladder carcinoma. The last test sample was a pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line (A10-74).
