Project description:Peripheral Blood gene expression is widely used in the discovery of biomarkers and development of therapeutics. Recently, a spate of commercial blood collection and preservation systems have been introduced with proprietary variations that may differentially impact the transcriptomic profiles. Comparative analysis of these collection platforms will help optimize protocols to detect, identify, and reproducibly validate true biological variance among subjects. In the current study, we tested two recently introduced whole blood collection methods, RNAgard® and PAXgene™ RNA, in addition to the traditional method of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) separated from whole blood and preserved in Trizol reagent. Study results revealed striking differences in the transcriptomic profiles from the three different methods that imply ex vivo changes in gene expression occurred during the blood collection, preservation, and mRNA extraction processes. When comparing the ability of the three preservation methods to accurately capture individuals’ expression differences, RNAgard® outperformed PAXgene™ RNA, and both showed significantly better individual separation of transcriptomic profiles than PBMCs. Hence, our study recommends using a single blood collection platform, and strongly cautions against combining methods during the course of a defined study.

Project description:The ability to transmit genetic information through generations depends on preservation of genome integrity. Genetic abnormalities affect cell differentiation, causing tissue specification defects and cancer. We addressed genomic instability in individuals with Differences of Sex Development (DSD), characterized by gonadal dysgenesis, sex reversal, infertility, high susceptibility for different types of cancer, especially Germ Cell Tumors (GCT), and in men with testicular GCTs. We analyzed the whole proteome of leukocytes and confirmed it with immunoblotting and quantitative PCR analysis. Additional data from tissue biopsies strengthen our observations in peripheral blood. In particular, the analysis of leukocytes and dysgenic gonads uncovered DNA damage phenotypes, supported by changes in DNA damage response mechanisms: altered autophagy and innate immune response, suppressed TP53-dependent DNA repair.

Project description:Recombinant human erythropoietin administration studies involving transcriptomic approaches have demonstrated a gene-expression signature that could aid detection of blood doping. However, current anti-doping testing does not involve blood collection into tubes with RNA preservative. This study investigated if whole blood in long-term storage and whole blood leftover from standard haematological testing in short-term storage could be used for transcriptomic analysis despite lacking RNA preservative. Whole blood samples were collected from thirteen and fourteen healthy males, for long-term and short-term storage experiments. Long-term storage: whole blood collected into Tempus™ tubes and K2EDTA tubes and subjected to long-term (i.e., −80°C) storage and RNA extracted. After storage, K2EDTA tubes were thawed and extracted using GeneJET RNA Purification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Vilnius, Lithuania) or Tempus™ Spin RNA Isolation Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). RNA quality and purity was sufficient for gene expression analysis. Principle Component Analysis of microarray and RNA-seq gene expression data for long-term storage: When comparing gene expression between blood tubes with and without RNA preservation, 6% (4058 transcripts) were differentially expressed. RNA quantity, purity and integrity was not significantly compromised from long-term storage in blood storage tubes lacking RNA preservative, indicating that transcriptomic analysis could be conducted using anti-doping samples collected or biobanked without RNA preservation.

Project description:We developed and validated a simple method for viable cryopreservation of whole blood, without any preprocessing, Simple prEservatioN of Single cElls (SENSE), with granulocyte depletion for generating high-quality single-cell profiles. We performed rigorous in-depth characterization of the SENSE method on clinical blood samples and compared it to the conventional multistep density-gradient isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) method. The SENSE method is an effective and simple solution for the cryopreservation of blood samples in clinics/labs and single cell profiles generation.

Project description:Purpose: Recombinant human erythropoietin administration studies involving “omics” approaches have demonstrated a gene-expression signature that could aid detection of blood doping. However, current anti-doping testing does not involve blood collection into tubes with RNA preservative. This study investigated if whole blood in long-term storage could be used for transcriptomic analysis despite lacking RNA preservation. Methods: Whole blood samples were collected from thirteen male healthy individuals. Long-term storage: whole blood collected into Tempus™ tubes and K2EDTA tubes and subjected to long-term (i.e., −80°C) storage and RNA extracted. After storage, Tempus and K2EDTA tubes were thawed and extracted using Tempus™ Spin RNA Isolation Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Samples from seven subjects that presented higher RIN value (≥7) were selected for RNA_Seq analysis. Results: The experiment provided RNA quality and purity for gene expression analysis. Total of 19239 genes were mapped and the gene expression analysis showed that 658 genes were differentially expressed (which means 3.4% of mapped genes). With 269 being up-regulated and 389 down-regulated. None of the transcripts described in previous studies as biomarkers for blood doping (Durussel et al. 2016; Wang, Durussel, et al. 2017) were differently expressed. Conclusion: RNA quantity, purity and integrity was not significantly compromised from long-term storage in blood storage tubes lacking RNA stabilisation, indicating that transcriptomic/omics analysis could be conducted using anti-doping samples collected or biobanked without RNA preservation.

Project description:We report RNA sequencing data from enriched prostate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from clinical blood specimens. The goal is to examine the stability of RNA signatures as a function of whole blood preservation. Each blood sample was split into two equal portions; one portion was processed immediately (i.e., 0 hour) for CTC isolation; the other was preserved in 4 deg C, using methods described in this publication, for 24, 48, or 72 hours prior to CTC isolation. CTCs were isolated using the CTC-iChip and processed for RNA sequencing.

Project description:Cord blood DNA methylation is associated with numerous health outcomes and environmental exposures. Whole cord blood DNA reflects all nucleated blood cell types, while centrifuging whole blood separates red blood cells by generating a white blood cell buffy coat. Both sample types are used in DNA methylation studies. Cell types have unique methylation patterns and processing can impact cell distributions, which may influence comparability. To evaluate differences in cell composition and DNA methylation between buffy coat and whole cord blood samples, cord blood DNA methylation was measured with the Infinium EPIC BeadChip (Illumina) in 8 individuals, each contributing buffy coat and whole blood samples.

Project description:To evaluate the impact of blood collection tubes on extracellular RNA (exRNA) sequencing, 10 different blood collection tubes were compared by applying Small RNA sequencing (Illumina) to exRNA from human healthy donor plasma or serum. Three time spans between blood draw and downstream processing were evaluated for each of the tubes. Preservation tubes were processed immediately upon blood collection (T0), after 24 hours (T24), or after 72 hours (T72). Non-preservation plasma and serum tubes were processed immediately upon blood collection (T0), after 4 hours (T4), or after 16 hours (T16). Due to donor privacy concerns the raw data for this study have been submitted to the controlled-access archive EGA under the accession EGAS00001005263.
