Methylation of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine in formalin-fixed human liver tissue.
3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or ecstasy) is a commonly consumed recreational drug. As is the case with most secondary amines, MDMA reacts with formaldehyde under acidic conditions to form tertiary amines. This reaction is likely to occur in formalin-fixed tissue. In formalin solutions, MDMA is methylated producing 3,4-methylenedioxy-N,N-dimethylamphetamine (MDDA). MDDA standard was s...
متن کاملDetermining methylation status of methylguanine DNA methyl transferase (MGMT) from formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tumor tissue
O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) has been associated with resistance to alkylating agent cancer therapy in Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Lower expression or silencing of the MGMT protein by promoter methylation has been reported to improve survival in patients with GBM [1]. This protocol describes bisulfite conversion, methylatio...
متن کاملBiexponential diffusion decay in formalin-fixed prostate tissue: preliminary findings.
Magnetic resonance microimaging was used to measure diffusion decay over an extended b-factor range in a formalin-fixed normal prostate sample and a Gleason pattern 3+4 cancer tissue sample. The coefficients of biexponential fits to diffusion decay data from 1600 voxels of dimension 160 × 160 × 160 μm(3) in each sample were correlated with underlying epithelial and stromal compartment partial v...
متن کاملMicroscopic Diffusion Anisotropy in Formalin Fixed Prostate Tissue
Diffusion tensor microimaging at 16.4 T with 40µm isotropic voxels was to investigate anisotropic water diffusion in prostate tissue at spatial resolution approaching the cellular scale. Nine normal tissue and two cancer samples were collected from the peripheral zone of six formalin fixed radical prostatectomy specimens. Fibromuscular stromal tissue exhibited microscopic diffusion anisotropy (...
متن کاملUnravelling the proteome of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue.
Biofluid detectable biomarkers that originate at the site of diseased tissues would be advantageous, in that, they may provide mechanistic information concerning the manifestation and progression of the disease. Unfortunately, tissue biopsies are precious samples that can generally be acquired in small amounts due to the invasive nature of the sample collection. One of the foundations of pathol...
