Microdissection of FFPE Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microdissection of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue was performed on hematoxylin-stained slides for both tumor and non-neoplastic mucosae. The tumor and non-neoplastic mucosal components were microdissected separately. In brief, the tissue blocks were scratched at both lateral margin of tumor tissue for marking the surface of the object tissue. Subsequently, histological sections were removed from the histological block (up to 10 µm). We confirmed that the histological sections contained at least 50% tumor tissue. Microdissected tissue was incubated at 56 °C for 12–18 h in 50 µl buffer containing 0.5% Tween-20 (Boehringer Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany), 20 µg proteinase K (Boehringer Mannheim), 50 mmol/l Trizma base, pH 8.9, and 2 mmol/l ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. proteinase K was inactivated by incubating the samples at 100 °C for 10 min.

Gastric Tumor Tissue Sampling and DNA/RNA Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumour samples were obtained from resected stomach tissues using biopsy forceps within 10–20 min of resection. Normal gastric mucosa distant from the tumour was removed from the mucosa using biopsy forceps; as a control (germline data), gastric biopsy samples from patients with IMN with chronic gastritis were included. Tumour tissues for pathological analysis were obtained from a region of the resected stomach adjacent to the site used for molecular analysis (one sample was obtained as a representative sample). In addition, the tumour tissue samples examined were surrounded by tumour tissue on all sides to ensure the presence of tumour tissue in the sample (Figure 1). In this section, the proportion of tumour cells accounted for at least 50% of the tissue. If other histological components were contained in the histological section, genomic DNA and RNA were extracted from whole tumour tissues. In brief, microdissected tissues were incubated at 56 °C for 12–18 h in 50 μL buffer containing 0.5% Tween‐20 (Boehringer Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany), 20 μg proteinase K (Boehringer Mannheim), 50 mm Trizma base (pH 8.9), and 2 mm ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. proteinase K was inactivated by incubating the samples at 100 °C for 10 min. A representative example is shown in Figure 1.

Microdissection and DNA Extraction from FFPE Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microdissection of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues was performed on hematoxylin-stained slides for three components, including head lesions, base lesions, and non-neoplastic mucosa. The three components were microdissected separately. Briefly, the tissue blocks were scratched at both the lateral margin of the tumor tissue to mark the surface of the target tissue. Subsequently, histological sections were removed from the histological block (up to 10 µm). We confirmed that the histological sections contained at least 50% tumor tissue. Microdissected tissue was incubated at 56 °C for 12–18 h in 50 µL buffer containing 0.5% Tween-20 (Boehringer Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany), 20 µg proteinase K (Boehringer Mannheim), 50 mM Trizma base (pH 8.9), and 2 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. proteinase K was inactivated by incubating the samples at 100 °C for 10 min.

After fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde PBS (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical, Osaka, Japan) for 10 min, the cells were incubated with PBS containing 0.05% Tween-20 (Roche Diagnostics) (washing buffer). After removing the washing buffer, the cells were incubated with ALP staining solution (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) at room temperature under light-resistant conditions for 10 min.
For the quantitative testing of ALP, the cells were harvested on days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 using the pNPP Phosphatase Assay Kit (AnaSpec, Fremont, CA, USA) after incubation with an osteogenic differentiation induction medium. The harvested cells were homogenized using a Sonic Vibra Cell (Sonic & Materials, Newtown, CT, USA), and the supernatant was collected and used as the sample.

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.
