An array based analysis of miRNA expression comparing matched frozen and FFPE human tissue samples

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that repress gene expression at the post transcriptional level via an antisense RNA-RNA interaction. Generally, miRNAs derived from snap frozen or fresh samples are used for array based profiling. Since tissues in most pathology departments are available only in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded state, we sought to evaluate the miRNA derived from formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples for microarray analysis. In this study, miRNAs extracted from matched snap frozen and FFPE samples were profiled using the Agilent miRNA array platform. Each miRNA sample was hybridized to arrays containing probes interrogating 470 human miRNAs. A total of seven cases were compared in either duplicate or triplicate. Intrachip and interchip analyses demonstrated that the processes of miRNA extraction, labeling and hybridization from both frozen and FFPE samples are highly reproducible and add little variation to the results, as technical replicates showed high correlations (Kendall tau=0.722-0.853, Spearman rank correlation coefficient=0.891-0.954). Our results showed consistent high correlation between matched frozen and FFPE samples (Kendall tau=0.669-0.815, Spearman rank correlation coefficient=0.847-0.948), supporting the use of FFPE-derived miRNAs for profiling. Keywords: formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) miRNA profiling

Expanding epigenomics to archived FFPE tissues: An evaluation of DNA repair methodologies

Project description:A study to evaluate techniques for repairing DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples by direct comparison of FFPE DNA repair methods prior to analysis on genome-wide methylation array to matched fresh frozen (FF) tissues. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue from three colon adenocarcinoma samples were subjected to different FFPE-oriented DNA repair approaches and sequences, then compared with corresponding fresh frozen tissues. All samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation BeadChip.

The microRNA profiles of ovarian clear cell carcinoma

Project description:To investigate the microRNA profiles of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), microRNA sequencing was performed using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and fresh-frozen clinical samples. Moreover, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors and cell lines were also investigated.

Direct Formalin Fixation Induces Widespread Transcriptomic Effects in Archival Tissue Samples

Project description:Archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples hold a wealth of transcriptomic information; however, little is known about potential artifacts. Previously, we identified a consistent shift in global RNA-sequencing profiles between matching frozen and FFPE samples. We hypothesized that this shift was from fixing fresh tissue in formalin. To test this idea, RNA-sequencing was performed on liver samples collected from male mice treated with 600 ppm of a reference chemical (phenobarbital, 600 ppm phenobarbital) or vehicle control for 7 days. Samples were divided into: (1) fresh-frozen (FR); (2) directly fixed in 10% buffered formalin for 18 hours followed by paraffin embedding (FFPE); (3) frozen then fixed as FFPE (FR>FFPE); or (4) frozen then fixed in 70% ethanol followed by paraffin embedding (FR>OH) (n=6/group/condition). Direct fixation resulted in 2946 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 98% of which were down-regulated. Freezing prior to fixation resulted in ≥95% fewer DEGs vs. FR, indicating that most formalin-derived transcriptional effects occurred with fixation. This was supported by follow-up studies, which identified consistent enrichment in oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and transcription elongation pathways with formalin fixation. Notably, formalin fixation in the parent study did not significantly impact chemical response profiles, which were consistent with CAR/PXR activation and 600 ppm phenobarbital exposure. Our results demonstrate distinct transcriptional effects of formalin fixation that could impact gene expression studies using FFPE samples.

Global gene expression analysis of fresh-frozen, furan-exposed mouse liver using one-colour Agilent microarrays

Project description:Furan is a mouse and rat hepatocarcinogen. We sought to determine if furan-induced gene expression changes could be detected in paired fresh-frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples using one-colour microarrays. All samples in this study (fresh-frozen, 18 hours in formalin, 3 weeks in formalin) were also examined using two-colour microarrays and RNA-seq (ribo-depletion and polyA-enrichment protocols) in order to determine the effect of the technology on gene expression profiles.
