Use of Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Samples for Gene Expression Studies in Breast Cancer Patients
To obtain gene expression profiles from samples collected in clinical trials, we conducted a pilot study to assess feasibility and estimate sample attrition rates when profiling formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens. Ten matched fresh-frozen and fixed breast cancer samples were profiled using the Illumina HT-12 and Ref-8 chips, respectively. The profiles obtained with Ref 8, were neither ...
متن کاملmiRNA expression profiling in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded endometriosis and ovarian cancer samples
Endometriosis is an inflammatory pathology associated with a negative effect on life quality. Recently, this pathology was connected to ovarian cancer, in particular with endometrioid ovarian cancer. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of RNA transcripts ~19-22 nucleotides in length, the altered miRNA pattern being connected to pathological status. miRNAs are highly stable transcripts, and these can...
متن کاملDeep Clonal Profiling of Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded Clinical Samples
Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues are a vast resource of annotated clinical samples. As such, they represent highly desirable and informative materials for the application of high definition genomics for improved patient management and to advance the development of personalized therapeutics. However, a limitation of FFPE tissues is the variable quality of DNA extracted for analyse...
متن کاملOver-expression of miR-675 in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues of breast cancer patients.
BACKGROUND Dysregulation of miR-675 has been found in a variety of solid tumors. MiR-675 has been suggested as having both oncogenic and tumor suppression properties in cancer. However, there is no evidence whether miR-675 is involved in breast cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression status of miR-675 and its clinical relevance in breast cancer patients. METHODS The...
متن کاملMulti-platform microRNA profiling of hepatoblastoma patients using formalin fixed paraffin embedded archival samples
BACKGROUND Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples are a valuable resource in cancer research and have the potential to be extensively used. However, they are often underused because of degradation and chemical modifications occurring in the RNA that can present obstacles in downstream analysis. In routine medical care, FFPE material is examined and archived, therefore clinical collecti...
