Immunomagnetic enrichment and flow cytometric isolation of breast cancer circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for genomic characterization

ABSTRACT: We developed a novel approach to isolate tumor cells with high purity from blood via immunomagnetic enrichment followed by fluorescence activated cell sorting (IE/FACS) and examined copy number alterations in these cells. Magnetic beads coated with EpCAM mAb were added to blood to enrich for tumor cells. Enriched samples were then subjected to FACS analysis using differentially labeled mAbs to distinguish tumor cells (EpCAM+) from leukocytes (CD45+) during sorting. DNA from isolated tumor cells was subjected to whole genome amplification (WGA) and copy number analysis via array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The assay was evaluated using BT474 and MCF7 breast cancer cell lines and in CTCs from 5 metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with matched archival primary tumors and later extended to an additional 97 MBC patients.

Evaluation of the assay on isolated breast cancer cell lines spiked into blood correctly identified the known genomic alterations with high reproducibility. In clinical studies, comparison of CTCs with matched archival primary tumors confirmed shared lineage with notable divergence. In addition, serial testing of CTCs confirmed reproducibility, and indicated genomic change over time. Analysis of genomic profiles of CTCs from 102 MBC patients revealed common copy number alterations including gains in 1q and 8q and losses in 8p and 11q. Comparison with a published CGH dataset of primary breast tumors revealed similar frequencies of recurrent genomic copy number aberrations.

Expanded Genomic Profiling of Circulating Tumor Cells in Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients to Assess Biomarker Status and Biology Over Time (CALGB 40502 and CALGB 40503, Alliance).

Project description:We developed a novel approach to isolate tumor cells with high purity from blood which was subjected to immunomagnetic enrichment using EpCAM beads followed by fluorescence activated cell sorting (IE/FACS) to isolate EpCAM-positive cells away from leukocytes (CD45+). Duplicate samples of 20 cells were isolated from the same enriched blood from MBC patients and then subjected to DNA and RNA profiling in parallel. For DNA profiling, sorted cells were subjected to BAC array comparative genomic hybridization analysis following whole genome amplification. For RNA profiling, QPCR analysis was performed on sixty four (64) cancer-related genes using Taqman® low density arrays.

Project description:Parallel DNA and RNA profiling of EpCAM-positive cells in bone marrow and primary tumor tissue with positive disseminated tumor cell (DTC) count via immunomagnetic Enrichment/Flow Cytometry (IE/FC) of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients confirm their malignant nature We developed a novel approach to isolate tumor cells with high purity from bone marrow which was subjected to immunomagnetic enrichment using EpCAM beads followed by fluorescence activated cell sorting (IE/FACS) to isolate EpCAM-positive cells away from leukocytes (CD45+). For DNA profiling, sorted cells were subjected to BAC array comparative genomic hybridization analysis following whole genome amplification. For RNA profiling, QPCR analysis was performed on sixty four (64) cancer-related genes using Taqman® low density arrays. For non-tumor controls, RNA profiling was performed on matched leukocytes (CD45+) isolated from the same enriched bone marrow samples.

Molecular characterization of tumor cells from the cerebrospinal fluid and matched primary tumors from metastatic breast cancer patients with leptomeningeal disease

Project description:We purified tumor cells in the CSF (“CSFTC”) from 15 metastatic breast cancer patients diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease using a two-step method involving immunomagnetic enrichment and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (IE/FACS). Magnetic beads coated with mAb to the epithelial cell adhesion marker (EPCAM) were used to enrich for tumor cells and were further purified by FACS analysis. For DNA profiling, isolated CSFTC were subjected to molecular characterization through genome-wide copy number analyses. Genomic analyses were then compared with those performed on the corresponding archival primary tumors. For RNA profiling, isolated CSFTC were then subjected to molecular characterization through gene expression profiling via QPCR analysis of 64 cancer-related genes

Development of a Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting Method Coupled with Whole Genome Amplification To Analyze Minority and Trace Dehalococcoides Genomes in Microbial Communities

Project description:Dehalococcoides mccartyi are functionally important bacteria that catalyze the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes. However, these anaerobic bacteria are fastidious to isolate, making downstream genomic characterization challenging. In order to facilitate genomic analysis, a fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) method was developed in this study to separate D. mccartyi cells from a microbial community, and the DNA of the isolated cells was processed by whole genome amplification (WGA) and hybridized onto a D. mccartyi microarray for comparative genomics against four sequenced strains. First, FACS was successfully applied to a D. mccartyi isolate as positive control, and then microarray results verified that WGA from 10(6) cells or ~1 ng of genomic DNA yielded high-quality coverage detecting nearly all genes across the genome. As expected, some inter- and intrasample variability in WGA was observed, but these biases were minimized by performing multiple parallel amplifications. Subsequent application of the FACS and WGA protocols to two enrichment cultures containing ~10% and ~1% D. mccartyi cells successfully enabled genomic analysis. As proof of concept, this study demonstrates that coupling FACS with WGA and microarrays is a promising tool to expedite genomic characterization of target strains in environmental communities where the relative concentrations are low.

Expression data from SP and non-SP sorted anti-EpCAM treated A549 cells

Project description:Targeted therapies against cancer stem cells, which are enriched in side populations (SP), involves interruption of Wnt-signalling. Furthermore, EpCAM is a SP marker and modulator of Wnt-signalling. Therefore, the effects of an anti-EpCAM treatment on SP-cells and WNT/Î²-catenin signalling was studied. SP of the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was obtained by fluorescence activated cell sorting and whole genome scans helped to define their molecular phenotype after anti-EpCAM antibody treatment. Anti-EpCAM treated and untreated A549 cells were subjected to Hoechst 33342 dye exclusion assay and sorted to SP and non-SP fractions by FACS. Three biological replicates.
