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:We streamlined the protein extraction procedure from low-amount clinical samples and tested and implemented different in-gel digestion strategies, obtaining a protocol that allows the analysis of the most common histone PTMs from laser microdissected tissue areas containing as low as 1000 cells. We then applied this protocol to breast cancer patient tissue sections in two proof-of-concept experiments, identifying differences in histone marks in heterogeneous regions selected by either morphological evaluation or MALDI-imaging profiling. These results demonstrate that analyzing histone PTMs from very small tissue areas and detecting differences from adjacent tumor regions is technically feasible, opening the way for the investigation of epigenetic features in the context of tissue and tumor heterogeneity.

Project description:Lobular intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (LIN) is a recently recognized variant of intraepithelial lobular neoplasia of the breast composed of either uniform, generally small, cells (classic) with massive lobular distension, pleomorphic cells, signet-ring cells, or any cell type with necrosis. In contrast to classic forms of LIN, there is no consensus on therapeutic strategies for LIN3. In part this is due to the paucity of molecular data that could assist in defining the relationship of LIN3 to classic LIN and carcinomas. In this study we have employed array CGH to determine the patterns of chromosomal aberrations in 9 LIN3 lesions. By comparison to array CGH data of 13 classic LIN lesions, we demonstrate that LIN and LIN3 share several recurrent changes, in particular gains of 1q and losses of 16q. Both aberrations are known to appear early in tumorigenesis and to be associated with good prognosis. However, apart from this overlap, there were a number of karyotypic features that were observed exclusively in LIN3. Clearly, this lesion was characterized by a significantly higher number of DNA copy number changes (9 vs. 31 on average), a considerable complexity of chromosomal rearrangements with up to 16 breakpoints in one chromosome and overlapping high copy amplifications. The amplicons encompassed a number of known oncogenes such as ERBB2, CyclinD1 and FGF3 that have already been reported to be overexpressed in breast carcinomas. Our data suggest that, at the genetic level, LIN3 represents a highly advanced lesion with considerable resemblance to carcinomas and, therefore, reflects a lesion on the verge of invasion, and might represent the transition state from an intraepithelial neoplasm to breast carcinoma. In this study, nine cases of pleomorphic/necrotic LIN lesions as well as one classic LIN and the concurrent invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) were analyzed by array CGH. Sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens cut at 7-8µm were mounted on special foil-coated slides (Molecular Devices, San Diego, USA). The sections were then deparaffinized with Xylene, processed in decreasing concentrations of ethanol and stained with haematoxylin. Lasercapture microdissection for both lesions was performed at multiple sites using Veritas Arcturus. For reference-DNA, female mammary tissue without histomorphological changes obtained from reduction mammoplasty specimens was procecessed and laser-microdissected as explained above. Cells were digested in 10µl TE, pH 9, and 0.5µl proteinase K (20mg/ml) for 48h at 55°C. After inactivation of proteinase K at 99°C for 10min, the digest was stored at -20°C. Without any further purification, the complete digest was used for whole genome amplification by means of the WGA (Whole Genome Amplification) kit from Sigma following the manufacturerâs recommendations. Array CGH was performed as described previously. In brief, two µg of amplified tumor and reference DNA were labelled by random priming (BioPrime® Total Genomic Labeling System, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) with Alexa Fluor® 3 and Alexa Fluor® 5, respectively, and hybridized onto a tiling path BAC array, consisting of the human 32k BAC Re-Array Set (BACPAC Resources Center; http://bacpac.chori.org/pHumanMinSet.htm; DNA kindly provided by Pieter de Jong) and a 1Mb Resolution BAC set (clones kindly provided by Nigel Carter, Wellcome Trust Sanger Centre).

For the analysis and visualization of array CGH data, our software-package CGH-PRO was employed. No background subtraction was applied. Raw data were normalized by âSubgrid LOWESSâ. For the assessment of copy number gains and losses, we used circular binary segmentation in combination with log2 ratio thresholds of 0.15 and -0.15, respectively. High copy amplifications were defined by focal appearance and a log2 ratio exceeding 0.45. In order to statistically investigate the similarity of aberration profiles we applied Pearson's product-moment correlation to cbs ratios of each of the corresponding arrays.

Project description:Patients diagnosed with breast cancer were recruited to an important trial, the Tamoxifen Window Trial, in two series, series A during 1988-1989 and series B during 1989-1990. Some patients received tamoxifen for short windows. Clinical samples (biopsies) for this trial were collected before and after treatment. These biopsies were available as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks. Responding patients and non-responding patients were determined by the change in the Ki67 scores. Responding patients were identified as those that had demonstrated a reduction in their Ki67 scores, and non-responding patients were identified as those in which Ki67 had not changed or had increased. The change in the percentage of Ki67 positive tumour cells was obtained by comparing the pre-treatment and post-treatment scores and calculating the difference in the scores. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was utilised to microdissect the epithelial and stromal cells from the post-treatment breast cancer FFPE tissue sections of responding and non-responding patients. Samples obtained following LCM underwent RNA extraction and were subsequently used for gene expression profiling. Post-treatment samples from three responding patients (A29, B42, B61) and three non-responding patients (A15, A19, B59) were identified as suitable for this study and underwent LCM. Samples were analysed using Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Human Exon 1.0 ST array. No technical replicates were performed. The stromal compartments collected from post-treatment samples of patients B59 and B61 failed to generate the appropriate yield of cDNA following two rounds of amplification and consequently were excluded from further analysis. Array hybridisation of samples were performed in 3 separate batches.

Project description:Low grade flat ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN1a, flat epithelial atypia) is one of the earliest morphologically recognizable neoplastic lesions of the breast. Frequently, it occurs in association with lobular intraepithelial neoplasia (LIN). The aim of this study was to elucidate chromosomal aberrations in these early neoplastic breast lesions using array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis. Laser capture microdissection of 12 archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens harbouring both foci of DIN1a as well as LIN was performed. All analyzed cases of DIN1a and LIN showed chromosomal gains and losses. The aberration encountered most often was loss on 16q in 7 DIN1a (70%) and 10 LIN (91%) cases. Regarding changes in chromosome 1, four DIN1a (40%) and 7 LIN (64%) cases showed a gain on 1q. The results of our study show concurrent chromosomal aberrations of 1q gains and 16q losses in several cases with coexisting LIN and low grade flat DIN. These aberrations are known to be common in low grade invasive ductal carcinomas as well as more advanced (conventional) types of low grade DIN (low grade ductal carcinoma in-situ). Our results raise the possibility of similar molecular-genetic pathways in most of the cases with coexisting LIN and low grade flat DIN. In this study, 11 cases of classic lobular intraepithelial neoplasias and 10 cases with several areas of low grade flat DIN (DIN1a or flat epithelial atypia) were analyzed by array CGH. Sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens cut at 7-8µm were mounted on special foil-coated slides (Molecular Devices, San Diego, USA). The sections were then deparaffinized with Xylene, processed in decreasing concentrations of ethanol and stained with haematoxylin.

Project description:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuron disease and is the second most common genetic disorder leading to death in childhood. Stem cell transplantation could represent a therapeutic approach for motor neuron diseases such as SMA. We examined the theraputics effects of a spinal cord neural stem cell population and their ability to modify SMA phenotype. Microarray technology was used to assess the global gene expression profile of laser-microdissected motoneurons obtained by transplanted and veichle treated SMA, and wildtype mice. Experiment Overall Design: The microarray data derived from three different groups: wildtype controls (vehicle treated), transgenic SMA (vehicle treated) and transplanted SMA mice. Each population consists of three RNA profiling samples.
