DNA for the array CGH studies was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues with the FormaPure kit from Agencourt. Agilent Sureprint G3 Cancer CGH + SNP 4 × 180k Microarrays were used to identify genome-wide copy number alterations. Briefly, 1µg of tumor and control DNA (normal female gDNA, Corriell Institute) were heated to 95°C for 5 minutes. Random priming was used to label DNA with CY3-dUTP (control) and CY5-dUTP (tumor) dyes from the Agilent SureTag DNA Labeling kit. The labeled DNA was then purified over columns (Agilent) and mixed in equal proportion along with Cot-1 Human DNA (Agilent) for the hybridization steps. To hybridize the DNA to the array, incubation occurred first at 95°C for 3 minutes for denaturation, followed by a 30 minute pre-hybridization step at 37°C and then a hybridization step for 35–40 hours at 65°C. Slides were then washed with Agilent Oligo ArrayCGH wash buffer 1 for 5 minutes at room temperature and wash buffer 2 for 1 minute at 37°C. Upon completion of the washes, slides were scanned using the G2505C Microarray Scanner (Agilent). The data were analyzed using the Agilent CytoGenomics software v 2.0. CGH array data are available at GEO under accession number GSE64765 (super-series GSE64766)..

DNA for the array CGH studies was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues with the FormaPure kit from Agencourt. Agilent Sureprint G3 Cancer CGH+SNP 4 × 180 k Microarrays were used to identify genome-wide copy number alterations. Briefly, 1 μg of tumour and control DNA (normal female gDNA, Corriell Institute) were heated to 95 °C for 5 min. Random priming was used to label DNA with CY3-dUTP (control) and CY5-dUTP (tumour) dyes from the Agilent SureTag DNA Labeling kit. The labelled DNA was then purified over columns (Agilent) and mixed in equal proportion along with Cot-1 Human DNA (Agilent) for the hybridization steps. To hybridize the DNA to the array, incubation occurred first at 95 °C for 3 min for denaturation, followed by a 30-min pre-hybridization step at 37 °C and then a hybridization step for 35–40 h at 65 °C. Slides were then washed with Agilent Oligo ArrayCGH wash buffer 1 for 5 min at room temperature and wash buffer 2 for 1 min at 37 °C. Upon completion of the washes, slides were scanned using the G2505C Microarray Scanner (Agilent). The data were analysed using the Agilent CytoGenomics software v 2.0.

Genome-Wide Copy Number Profiling of Leukocytes

Patients’ peripheral blood leukocytes DNA underwent aCGH as previously described [6 (link)]. Briefly, aCGH analysis used an 8×60K (G4827A-031746; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The arrays were scanned with a G2565CA microarray scanner (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and the images were extracted and analyzed with CytoGenomics software v2.0 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). An ADM-2 algorithm (cut-off 6.0), followed by a filter to select regions with three or more adjacent probes and a minimum average log2 ratio ±0.25, was used to detect copy number changes. The quality of each experiment (log ratio spread) was assessed with CytoGenomics software v2.0. Genomic positions were based on the UCSC February 2009 human reference sequence (hg19 NCBI build 37 reference sequence assembly). Filtering of copy number changes was carried out using the BENCHlab CNV software (Cartagenia, Leuven, Belgium).

Custom aCGH for SAMD11 Gene Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A custom aCGH 8×60k using the Agilent SurePrint G3 CGH technology was designed using the Agilent eArray website (https://earray.chem.agilent.com/earray/) with an average distribution of 1 probe per 150 bp in the SAMD11 gene with a total of 95 probes. Briefly, genomic DNA (200 ng) from the patient and from a sex-matched control were digested by AluI and RsaI restriction enzymes for 2 h at 37 °C and the digested products were labelled with Cy3-dUTP and Cy5-dUTP fluorochromes using the Sure Tag DNA Labeling Kit (Agilent Technologies). The labelled products were purified, hybridized and washed according to Agilent protocols. The slide was scanned on a SureScan G4900DA scanner (Agilent Technologies), and the resulting TIFF images were converted by the image conversion Feature Extraction software (Agilent Technologies). Results were analyzed by Agilent CytoGenomics software v.2.7 using default analysis method – CGH v2 with the ADM-2 aberration algorithm.

VOPP1 Expression and Tumor DNA Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumors with high levels of VOPP1 transcripts were subjected to DNA extraction. The quality of tumor DNAs was verified using a Qubit dsDNA BR Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Tumor DNAs and reference DNA provided in the Agilent Kit were labeled, purified, and co-hybridized in equal quantity to the Agilent Microarrays, for 21–24 h. Arrays were washed and scanned on a SureScanMicroarray Scanner according to the manufacturer’s protocols (Agilent). Images were acquired using the CytoScan Software V.2.7 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and analyzed on CytoGenomics Software V.2.7 (Agilent).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
