Popis: | Background: Isolating tumor cells of interest and harvesting histologically pure samples is important for genomic studies. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is an established method to obtain such purified cell populations for various applications including DNA, gene expression, and single cell analyses. However, LCM possesses problems such as limited optical resolution, cell fragmentation from dissection, and adherence of adjacent tissue to the cells which interrupts with single cell isolation from tissue sections. To overcome these obstacles, we developed a high-throughput pulse laser retrieval system which uses a wavelength that minimizes damage to the cellular content and is processed with a sacrificial layer that provides applicable optical resolution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the pulse laser retrieval system to provide appropriate samples for genomic analysis using breast cancer tissue. Methods: An indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass slide was prepared using fresh frozen breast cancer tissue sections of 4㎛ thickness and stained by hematoxylin and eosin. The slide was mounted on the cell isolation machine and imaging was performed with a charge-coupled device camera using a 20× lens. Following identification of the target cells by a pathologist, nano-second pulsed laser (wavelength= 1064nm) was irradiated on the target. Isolated cells were collected in a polymerase chain reaction tube and whole genome amplification (WGA) was carried out using Illustra GenomiPhi V2 DNA Amplification Kit (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). Amplified genomic DNA was fragmented and Illumina sequencing libraries were constructed. Sequencing was carried out to generate data with 0.1∼0.2× depth throughout the whole genome for each sample. Copy number variation (CNV) was analyzed by the Variable binning algorithm. Results: Whole genome amplification was performed using bulk tissue and 10 captured single cells from the same specimen. No difference in amplification coverage was observed between the two samples. A CNV analysis of captured single cells revealed similar CNV profiles with those in a matched bulk tumor. Whole exome sequencing (WES) of captured single cells yielded a variant frequency of 15% at a read depth of 15× and 50M base coverage, compared to 0% at 100× and 50M for WES using bulk tumor and 0.5% at 1200× and 100K for targeted sequencing using bulk tumor. Laser capture was performed for DCIS and stromal cells from the same slide. CNV analysis of the two samples showed minimal CNV in normal stromal cells in contrast to DCIS where multiple CNVs were observed. Conclusions: Newly developed pulse laser retrieval system is suitable for capturing single cells for genomic analysis of breast cancer. WGA, WES, and CNV analysis was successfully carried out using the captured single cells and showed no difference in profile compared to those performed with bulk tissue. This method may have the potential to replace LCM for certain applications such as single cell analyses.
