Project description:BACKGROUND:The main bottleneck for genomic studies of tumors is the limited availability of fresh frozen (FF) samples collected from patients, coupled with comprehensive long-term clinical follow-up. This shortage could be alleviated by using existing large archives of routinely obtained and stored Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissues. However, since these samples are partially degraded, their RNA sequencing is technically challenging. RESULTS:In an effort to establish a reliable and practical procedure, we compared three protocols for RNA sequencing using pairs of FF and FFPE samples, both taken from the same breast tumor. In contrast to previous studies, we compared the expression profiles obtained from the two matched sample types, using the same protocol for both. Three protocols were tested on low initial amounts of RNA, as little as 100 ng, to represent the possibly limited availability of clinical samples. For two of the three protocols tested, poly(A) selection (mRNA-seq) and ribosomal-depletion, the total gene expression profiles of matched FF and FFPE pairs were highly correlated. For both protocols, differential gene expression between two FFPE samples was in agreement with their matched FF samples. Notably, although expression levels of FFPE samples by mRNA-seq were mainly represented by the 3'-end of the transcript, they yielded very similar results to those obtained by ribosomal-depletion protocol, which produces uniform coverage across the transcript. Further, focusing on clinically relevant genes, we showed that the high correlation between expression levels persists at higher resolutions. CONCLUSIONS:Using the poly(A) protocol for FFPE exhibited, unexpectedly, similar efficiency to the ribosomal-depletion protocol, with the latter requiring much higher (2-3 fold) sequencing depth to compensate for the relative low fraction of reads mapped to the transcriptome. The results indicate that standard poly(A)-based RNA sequencing of archived FFPE samples is a reliable and cost-effective alternative for measuring mRNA-seq on FF samples. Expression profiling of FFPE samples by mRNA-seq can facilitate much needed extensive retrospective clinical genomic studies.

Project description:Many liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) studies have compared formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues with matched fresh-frozen (FF) tissues to examine the effect of preservation techniques on the proteome; however, few studies have included the phosphoproteome. A high degree of overlap and correlation between the two preservation techniques would demonstrate the importance of FFPE tissues as a valuable biomedical resource. Our aim was to quantitatively compare the proteome and phosphoproteome of matched FFPE and FF tissues using data-independent acquisition LC-MS. Four organs from three rats were cut in half to produce matched FFPE and FF tissue pairs. Excellent overlaps of 85-97% for the proteome and 82-98% for the phosphoproteome were observed, depending on the organ type, between the two preservation techniques. Most of the unique identifications were found in FF with less than 0.3% being unique to FFPE tissues. Strong agreement between FFPE and FF matched tissue pairs was observed with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.93-0.97 and 0.79-0.87 for the proteome and phosphoproteome, respectively. Digestion efficiency was slightly higher in FFPE (92-94%) than in FF tissues (86-89%), and a search of a data subset for formaldehyde induced chemical modifications revealed that only 0.05% of precursors were unique to FFPE tissues. This suggests that with quality sample preparation methods it is not necessary to include formaldehyde induced chemical modifications when analyzing FFPE tissues. We attribute the lower number of identifications in FFPE tissues to inaccurate peptide quantitation, which resulted in a lower MS peptide load and tryptic peptide enrichment load. Our results demonstrate that both proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of FFPE and FF tissues are highly comparable and highlight the suitability of FFPE tissues for both proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis.

Project description:MicroRNAs play a role in regulating diverse biological processes and have considerable utility as molecular markers for diagnosis and monitoring of human disease. Several technologies are available commercially for measuring microRNA expression. However, cross-platform comparisons do not necessarily correlate well, making it difficult to determine which platform most closely represents the true microRNA expression level in a tissue. To address this issue, we have analyzed RNA derived from cell lines, as well as fresh frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues, using Affymetrix, Agilent, and Illumina microRNA arrays, NanoString counting, and Illumina Next Generation Sequencing. We compared the performance within- and between the different platforms, and then verified these results with those of quantitative PCR data. Our results demonstrate that the within-platform reproducibility for each method is consistently high and although the gene expression profiles from each platform show unique traits, comparison of genes that were commonly detectable showed that detection of microRNA transcripts was similar across multiple platforms.

Project description:Medical research projects become increasingly dependent on biobanked tissue of high quality because the reliability of gene expression is affected by the quality of extracted RNA. Hence, the present study aimed to determine if clinical, surgical, histological, and molecular parameters influence RNA quality of normal and tumoral frozen colonic tissues. RNA Quality Index (RQI) was evaluated on 241 adenocarcinomas and 115 matched normal frozen colon tissues collected between October 2006 and December 2012. RQI results were compared to patients' age and sex, tumor site, kind of surgery, anastomosis failure, adenocarcinoma type and grade, tumor cell percentage, necrosis extent, HIF-1α and cleaved caspase-3 immunohistochemistry, and BRAF, KRAS and microsatellites status. The RQI was significantly higher in colon cancer tissue than in matched normal tissue. RQI from left-sided colonic cancers was significantly higher than RQI from right-sided cancers. The RNA quality was not affected by ischemia and storage duration. According to histological control, 7.9% of the samples were unsatisfactory because of inadequate sampling. Biobanked tumoral tissues with RQI ≥5 had lower malignant cells to stromal cells ratio than samples with RQI <5 (p <0.05). Cellularity, necrosis extent and mucinous component did not influence RQI results. Cleaved caspase-3 and HIF-1α immunolabelling were not correlated to RQI. BRAF, KRAS and microsatellites molecular status did not influence RNA quality. Multivariate analysis revealed that the tumor location, the surgical approach (laparoscopy versus open colectomy) and the occurrence of anastomotic leakage were the only parameters influencing significantly RQI results of tumor samples. We failed to identify parameter influencing RQI of normal colon samples. These data suggest that RNA quality of colonic adenocarcinoma biospecimens is determined by clinical and surgical parameters. More attention should be paid during the biobanking procedure of right-sided colon cancer or laparoscopic colectomy specimen. Histological quality control remains essential to control sampling accuracy.

Project description:When sampling many samples at locations with poor laboratory facilities, the ability of freezing samples for later processising is crucial. ATAC-seq on fresh tissue is still considered the star method. Freezing has shown to affect chromatin architecture and nucleosome pattern. However, the freezing method might determine the chromatin integrity. We therefore ask whether or not slow frozen samples give the same results as fresh samples when assaying tissues for transposase accessible chromatin?

Project description:Transcript labeling in intact tissues using in situ hybridization chain reaction has potential to provide vital spatiotemporal information for molecular characterization of heterogeneous neuronal populations. However, large tissue labeling in non-perfused or fresh-frozen rodent and postmortem human samples, which provide more flexible utilization than perfused tissues, is largely unexplored. In the present study, we optimized the combination of in situ hybridization chain reaction in fresh-frozen rodent brains and then evaluated the uniformity of neuronal labeling between two clearing methods, CLARITY and iDISCO+. We found that CLARITY yielded higher signal-to-noise ratios but more limited imaging depth and required longer clearing times, whereas, iDISCO+ resulted in better tissue clearing, greater imaging depth and a more uniform labeling of larger samples. Based on these results, we used iDISCO+-cleared fresh-frozen rodent brains to further validate this combination and map the expression of a few genes of interest pertaining to mood disorders. We then examined the potential of in situ hybridization chain reaction to label transcripts in cleared postmortem human brain tissues. The combination failed to produce adequate mRNA labeling in postmortem human cortical slices but produced visually adequate labeling in the cerebellum tissues. We next, investigated the multiplexing ability of in situ hybridization chain reaction in cleared tissues which revealed inconsistent fluorescence output depending upon the fluorophore conjugated to the hairpins. Finally, we applied our optimized protocol to assess the effect of glucocorticoid receptor overexpression on basal somatostatin expression in the mouse cortex. The constitutive glucocorticoid receptor overexpression resulted in lower number density of somatostatin-expressing neurons compared to wild type. Overall, the combination of in situ hybridization chain reaction with clearing methods, especially iDISCO+, may find broad application in the transcript analysis in rodent studies, but its limited use in postmortem human tissues can be improved by further optimizations.

Project description:MicroRNAs regulate several aspects of tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Most cancer tissues are archived formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE). While microRNAs are a more stable form of RNA thought to withstand FFPE-processing and degradation there is only limited evidence for the latter assumption. We examined whether microRNA profiling can be successfully conducted on FFPE cancer tissues using SOLiD ligation based sequencing. Tissue storage times (2-9 years) appeared to not affect the number of detected microRNAs in FFPE samples compared to matched frozen samples (paired t-test p>0.7). Correlations of microRNA expression values were very high across microRNAs in a given sample (Pearson's r = 0.71-0.95). Higher variance of expression values among samples was associated with higher correlation coefficients between FFPE and frozen tissues. One of the FFPE samples in this study was degraded for unknown reasons with a peak read length of 17 nucleotides compared to 21 in all other samples. The number of detected microRNAs in this sample was within the range of microRNAs detected in all other samples. Ligation-based microRNA deep sequencing on FFPE cancer tissues is feasible and RNA degradation to the degree observed in our study appears to not affect the number of microRNAs that can be quantified.

Project description:Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues represent the most widely available clinical material to study colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the accuracy and clinical validity of FFPE microbiome profiling in CRC is uncertain. Here, we compared the microbial composition of 10 paired fresh-frozen (FF) and FFPE CRC tissues using 16S rRNA sequencing and RNA-ISH. Both sample types showed different microbial diversity and composition. FF samples were enriched in archaea and representative CRC-associated bacteria, such as Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Fusobacteria. Conversely, FFPE samples were mainly enriched in typical contaminants, such as Sphingomonadales and Rhodobacterales. RNA-ISH in FFPE tissues confirmed the presence of CRC-associated bacteria, such as Fusobacterium and Bacteroides, as well as Propionibacterium allowing discrimination between tumor-associated and contaminant taxa. An internal quality index showed that the degree of similarity within sample pairs inversely correlated with the dominance of contaminant taxa. Given the importance of FFPE specimens for larger studies in human cancer genomics, our findings may provide useful indications on potential confounding factors to consider for accurate and reproducible metagenomics analyses.

Project description:This study aimed to establish the Japanese Cancer Genome Atlas (JCGA) using data from fresh frozen tumor tissues obtained from 5143 Japanese cancer patients, including those with colorectal cancer (31.6%), lung cancer (16.5%), gastric cancer (10.8%) and other cancers (41.1%). The results are part of a single-center study called "High-tech Omics-based Patient Evaluation" or "Project HOPE" conducted at the Shizuoka Cancer Center, Japan. All DNA samples and most RNA samples were analyzed using whole-exome sequencing, cancer gene panel sequencing, fusion gene panel sequencing and microarray gene expression profiling, and the results were annotated using an analysis pipeline termed "Shizuoka Multi-omics Analysis Protocol" developed in-house. Somatic driver alterations were identified in 72.2% of samples in 362 genes (average, 2.3 driver events per sample). Actionable information on drugs that is applicable in the current clinical setting was associated with 11.3% of samples. When including those drugs that are used for investigative purposes, actionable information was assigned to 55.0% of samples. Germline analysis revealed pathogenic mutations in hereditary cancer genes in 9.2% of samples, among which 12.2% were confirmed as pathogenic mutations by confirmatory test. Pathogenic mutations associated with non-cancerous hereditary diseases were detected in 0.4% of samples. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) analysis revealed 5.4% of samples as having the hypermutator phenotype (TMB ≥ 20). Clonal hematopoiesis was observed in 8.4% of samples. Thus, the JCGA dataset and the analytical procedures constitute a fundamental resource for genomic medicine for Japanese cancer patients.
