Intrinsic Subtyping of Breast Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gene expression data were generated using custom-designed Agilent arrays containing approximately 32.1K probes, representing approximately 21.5K unique genes from FFPE breast cancer tumor tissue. Approximately 90% (or 652 breast cancer tumors) passed the RNA quality check (according to the diagnostic quality model) and were used in the intrinsic subtype analysis. Tumors were assigned to one of five molecular subtypes (luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched, basal-like, normal-like) using the PAM50 classifier, as described in Parker et al. (Supplementary Material, available online) (26 (link)).

Differential Gene Expression Analysis

Normalized gene expression data for tumor and normal samples, either from an Illumina sequencing platform or Agilent arrays depending on availability for each cancer type, were obtained from TCGA. We compared expression levels for each gene between tumors and matched normal samples using paired Wilcoxon tests and corrected nominal p-values using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. If a gene was significantly (FDR < 0.05) differentially expressed (lower or higher) in tumor samples, it received a +1 towards tumor suppressor or oncogene score, respectively.

Gastric Cancer Gene Expression Analysis

GC gene expression data was obtained from the NCBI GEO, (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/). One data set GSE51575 consisted of 26 paired primary gastric adenocarcinoma tissues and surrounding normal fresh frozen tissues was included. All the tissues were obtained after curative resection and pathologic confirmation at Samsung Medical Center (Korea cohort). The raw CEL files from the Agilent arrays (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) for GSE51575 were processed and normalized using the Robust Multichip Average as previously described.25 (link) All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0 software (IBM, SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). The significance of differences between groups was estimated using the Student’s t-test, χ2 test, Fisher’s exact test, Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal–Wallis test or Wilcoxon test, as appropriate. A ROC curve was established to evaluate the diagnostic value for differentiating between GC and benign diseases. FP survival (FPS) and OS rates were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method with the log-rank test applied for comparison. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between TINCR and E2F1 mRNA expression. Two-sided P-values were calculated, and a probability level of 0.05 was chosen for statistical significance.

Genome-wide Transcriptomic Profiling of Arthralgia Patients

Within the framework of another research study43 (manuscript in preparation), an explorative genome-wide transcriptional profiling study was performed on synovial tissue biopsies obtained from 13 autoantibody-positive (IgM rheumatoid factor and/or anti-citrullinated protein antibody) arthralgia patients using Agilent arrays (Agilent technologies, Amstelveen, The Netherlands). The study was approved by the institutional review board of the Academic Medical Center (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and all study subjects gave written informed consent. At the time of synovial biopsy of a knee joint by mini-arthroscopy these individuals did not display any evidence of arthritis as assessed by an experienced rheumatologist. However, they are “at risk” for developing RA and therefore prospectively followed over time to study the possible development of arthritis42 (link). Expression levels of genes of interest were extracted from this dataset and investigated for their possible association with arthritis development. To this end, RA-risk individuals were stratified based on their mRNA levels into relative low or high expressers compared to the median values of the whole population, after which arthritis-free survival was compared to each other using a log-rank (Mantel–Cox) test.

Identifying de novo copy number variations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A detailed description of how de novo CNVs were identified in this sample is provided elsewhere [27 (link)]. Briefly, CNV calls were excluded if they had a frequency >1% in the sample, were covered by <15 probes, overlapped segmental duplications by >50% of their length, or were smaller than 15KB. All de novo CNVs included in the current study were validated using custom Agilent arrays [27 (link)]. For transmitted and non-transmitted CNVs, we applied a more stringent CNV size threshold that excluded CNVs <100 KB as these were not independently validated [27 (link), 31 (link)]. Transmitted CNVs were defined as those observed in a proband that had any overlap with a CNV observed in at least one of their parents. Non-transmitted CNVs were those observed in a parent but not their child.

aCGH Analysis of Somatic Deletions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
aCGH was performed following manufacturer protocol modified by Hostetter et al. (Hostetter et al., 2010 (link)). One microgram of genomic DNA extracted from archival material and 400 ng of reference DNA were labeled with Cyanine 5 and 3, as described previously (Perot et al., 2012 (link)). Labeled DNA was hybridized to Agilent arrays (Agilent Technologies) with a 60k resolution across the genome. Slides were scanned on Agilent microarray scanner and analyzed using Feature extraction software, version 10.5.1.1 (Agilent Technologies) and Agilent genomic workbench lite 6.5.0.18. The ADM-2 algorithm was used to identify DNA copy number anomalies at the probe level. Homozygous deletion was considered when log2 ratios of targeting probes were below 1. Intermediate log2 ratios values between −1 and −0.25 do not allow to be conclusive as to whether the deletion is homo or heterozygous. A low-level copy number gain was defined as a log 2 ratio > 0.25. To further characterize the 22q11 somatic deletion identified in case ES#6, we used custom-designed aCGH 180k Agilent array with high density coverage of 22q11 locus (in which 200 oligonucleotide probes target SMARCB1).

Genomic Profiling of Copy Number Changes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA was hybridized to 8 Â 60 K whole-genome Agilent arrays (G4450A; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The ADM-2 algorithm of the CGH Analytics v4.0.76 software (Agilent Technologies) was used to identify DNA copy number anomalies at the probe level. A low-level copy number gain was defined as a log 2 ratio 40.25 and a copy number loss was defined as a log 2 ratio o0.25. A high-level gain or amplification was defined as a log 2 ratio41.5 and a homozygous deletion was suspected when the ratio was o À 1.
The genomic index was calculated for each profile as follows: genomic index ¼ A 2 /C, where A is the total number of alterations (segmental gains and losses) and C is the number of involved chromosomes.

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.
