e22041 Background: Microarrays have been used to monitor global genes expression and have aided the identification of novel biomarkers for patients stratification and drug response prediction . To date there has been limited application of microarray- based gene expression analysis to formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues (FFPET). FFPE tissues are the most commonly available clinical samples with documented clinical information for retrospective clinical analysis. However, FFPET RNA has proven to be an obstacle for microarray analysis because of low yield and compromised RNA integrity. Methods: Using a novel RNA amplification method, Single Primer Isothermal Amplification (SPIA, NuGEN Inc, San Carlos, CA), we amplified FFPET RNA, hybridized amplified, and labeled cDNA onto Affymetrix HG U133plus2 GeneChips. Results: We found that SPIA amplification successfully overcomes the problems of poor quality of FFPET RNA, and produced informative biological data. Comparing the gene expression data from 5 different types of FFPET archival cancer samples (breast, lung, ovarian, colon, and melanoma), we demonstrated that gene expression signatures clearly distinguish the tissue of origin. Further, from an analysis of 91 FFPET samples comprised of ER+, HER2+, triple negative breast cancer patients, and normal breast tissue, we have identified a 103 gene signature that distinguishes the intrinsic sub-types of breast cancer. Finally, the accuracy of gene expression measured by microarray was verified by real time PCR quantitation of the ERBB2 gene, resulting in a significant correlation (R = 0.88). Conclusions: We have demonstrated the feasibility of global gene expression profiling using RNA extracted from FFPET and have shown that a gene expression signature can stratify patient samples into different subtypes of disease. This study paves the way to identify novel molecular biomarkers for disease stratification and therapy response from archival FFPET samples, leading to the goals of personalized medicine.
