Project description:We used Illumina microarrays to profile RNA expression in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples of 22 metastatic or advanced RCC cases.
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.

Project description:We investigated whether we could use RNA from tumor purified formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue for small RNA sequencing to obatin comparable results to RNA from the primary tumor.
Project description:Transcriptomic data was generated on uninvolved SB tissue from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) small bowel resection margins of subjects requiring surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for Crohn’s disease.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) meningioma samples. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 methylation sites across the genome at single-nucleotide resolution.
Project description: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.
