Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has a 50% 5-year survival rate which depends on several factors including micronutrients such as iron. Further, iron not only profound effects the growth and development of OSCC but also can influence progression prognosis an important role in OSCC. In study, FFPE (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded) tissue segment samples were examined for presence intracellul...

Abstract Extraction of DNA and RNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks is a critical process in molecular oncology testing. Using FFPE, it possible to choose the portion study, taking into account cell morphology, storage stability conditions at room temperature, make retrospective studies with clinical pathological information. In prostate cancer tissue, contrast macrosc...

The present study aimed to compare two different methods of extracting RNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We further aimed to identify possible influences of variables--such as tissue size, duration of paraffin block storage, fixative type, primers used for cDNA synthesis, and endogenous genes tested--on the success of amplificat...

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues represent an important source of archival materials for gene expression profiling. We report here the development of a modified branch DNA assay that allows direct quantification of messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts in homogenates from FFPE tissue sections without the need for RNA isolation and reverse transcription into cDNA. Formalin fixation es...

This unit provides a robust, reliable, and easy-to-use kit-based method for extraction of intact, non-degraded proteins from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, and their subsequent use for analysis by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). After deparaffinization, proteins are extracted from unstained sections of FFPE rat liver tissue. After a simple cleanup step using o...

Recently, two cancer genomic profiling tests have been approved in Japan and implemented routine clinical practice: the FDA-approved FoundationOne CDx test, OncoGuide NCC Oncopanel test. The quality quantity of DNA significantly affects sequencing results; therefore, preparing a sufficient amount high-quality for is important. We examined best practices extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-e...

Formalin fixation, generally followed by paraffin embedding, is the standard and well-established processing method employed by pathologist. This treatment conserves and stabilizes biopsy samples for years. Analysis of FFPE tissues from biopsy libraries has been, so far, a challenge for proteomics biomarker studies. Herein, we present two methods for the direct analysis of formalin-fixed, paraf...

Current genomic studies are limited by the poor availability of fresh-frozen tissue samples. Although formalin-fixed diagnostic samples are in abundance, they are seldom used in current genomic studies because of the concern of formalin-fixation artifacts. Better characterization of these artifacts will allow the use of archived clinical specimens in translational and clinical research studies....
