Aquí, hemos detallado las estrategias de laboratorio para realizar análisis SISH del gene HER2 y su centrómero correspondiente en TMAs de alto rendimiento de cánceres de mama heterogéneo procesados. Este método es rentable y puede llevarse a cabo en la mayoría de los laboratorios para el estudio de la heterogeneidad de amplificación del gen HER2 en cohortes grandes de los archivos de patología de mama cáncer obtenido forma.
Debido a la importancia clínica de HER2 e...

HER2 es un proto-oncogene que se sobreexpresa y amplificado en 15-30% de todos cánceres de mama invasivo1,2. Sobreexpresión de HER2 se infiere por la presencia de > 10% células con membrana fuerte inmunohistoquímica (IHC) tinción (3 +), mientras que la amplificación del gen pueden ser evaluada cuando el número de copias del gen es ≥6, o el HER2/centrómero es ≥ 2 en el recuento en por lo menos 20 células por en situ hibridación (ISH)3.
Heterogeneidad genética intra-tumor ha sido ampliamente descrito en los cánceres de mama, siendo un colaborador potencialmente adverso para la evaluación de biomarcadores y tratamientos respuesta4. Según el Colegio de patólogos americanos (CAP), HER2 heterogeneidad existe si HER2 está amplificado en > 5% y < 50% del tumor de la infiltración de las células5. Lamentablemente, la incidencia real de la heterogeneidad espacial de HER2 en cáncer de mama sigue siendo un tema de controversia entre patólogos, con algunos autores mantienen es un evento extremadamente raro, y otros que sugieren que hasta un 40% de los casos son HER2-heterogénea1,5,6,7,8,9,10. A pesar de los mecanismos biológicos que sostienen esta condición no son todavía completamente aclarado, los impactos clínicos y pronósticos de la heterogeneidad de HER2 del tumor intra son cruciales para el de pacientes de cáncer de mama11.
Recientemente, técnicas moleculares de campo brillante, como ISH cromogénica (CISH) y ISH plata (SISH), han surgido como métodos confiables para detectar heterogeneidad de HER2 en los tejidos FFPE, con algunas ventajas en comparación con a fluorescente ISH (pescado)12. Lamentablemente, el análisis de a granel de casos individuales sigue siendo poco práctico en estudios de grandes cohortes. Varios grupos han sugerido que la combinación de histoquímica, IHC y ISH con tecnologías TMA podría representar una estrategia valiosa en el estudio de cáncer biología13,14,15,16. Con este método ampliamente adoptado, las muestras de tejido de diferentes pacientes pueden analizarse al mismo tiempo, minimizar el tejido y los reactivos empleados y así fomentar el análisis uniforme de una serie grande de casos14. Sin embargo, no hay protocolos están disponibles para la caracterización molecular simultánea de alto rendimiento de múltiples muestras de tejido que experimentó diferentes de procesamiento en cuanto a reactivos, fijación de tiempos y métodos de conservación empleados, tales como archivo bloques.
Dada las implicaciones clínicas y pronósticas de heterogeneidad espacial de HER2 en cáncer de mama, hemos desarrollado una plataforma integrada de molecular para evaluar en series grandes de casos procesados heterogéneo. Aquí, describen las estrategias de laboratorio para generar y analizar la heterogeneidad intra-tumor de amplificación de HER2 en TMAs de alto rendimiento de cáncer de mama por medio de SISH. El siguiente protocolo ha sido desarrollado para medir los tumores > 5 mm (> pT1b según el TNM 2017)17. Para lesiones más pequeñas, se recomienda realizar el análisis en las secciones seriales Full-Face. Nuestro procedimiento permite el análisis simultáneo de la IHC y SISH de hasta 30 cáncer de mama, que abarca una media de 6 zonas diferenciadas (rango 4-8) para cada caso. En conjunto, se generarán 180 núcleos de tejido de 1 mm de diámetro, con 500 μm entre los núcleos y de 2 mm entre la cuadrícula y los bordes de cada bloque TMA.

building up a high-throughput screening platform to assess the heterogeneity of her2 gene amplification in breast cancers

Terapias dirigidas contra el receptor de factor de crecimiento epidérmico humano 2 (HER2) han cambiado radicalmente el resultado de pacientes con cáncer de mama positivo para HER2. Sin embargo, una minoría de casos muestra una distribución heterogénea de células HER-2 positivo, que genera grandes desafíos clínicos. Hasta la fecha, no hay protocolos confiables y estandarizados para la caracterización y cuantificación de la amplificación del gen HER2 heterogénea en grandes cohortes se han propuesto. Aquí, presentamos una metodología de alto rendimiento para evaluar simultáneamente el estado de HER2 en diferentes áreas topográficas de múltiples cánceres de mama. En particular, nos ilustran el procedimiento de laboratorio para la construcción de microarreglos de tejido mejorado (TMAs) incorporando una asignación específica de los tumores. Todos los parámetros de TMA se han optimizado específicamente para la plata en situ hibridación (SISH) de formalina-fijo parafina-encajado (FFPE) tejidos del pecho. El análisis de Immunohistochemical de los biomarcadores pronósticos y predictivos (es decir, ER, PR, Ki67 y HER2) debe realizarse mediante los procedimientos automatizados. Se ha implementado un protocolo personalizado de SISH para permitir un análisis molecular de alta calidad a través de múltiples tejidos que experimentaron diferentes procedimientos de fijación, procesamiento y almacenamiento. En este estudio, le ofrecemos una prueba de principio que secuencias específicas de ADN podrían ser cánceres localizados simultáneamente en distintas zonas topográficas de múltiple y heterogéneo procesados usando un método eficiente y rentable.

En general, 444 mama invasivo cáncer se incorporaron 15 TMAs optimizados específicamente para análisis ISH. Entre los 2.664 puntos muestreados, 2.651 (99.5%) eran representativos de las áreas previamente seleccionadas y por lo tanto se considera favorable para análisis posteriores. Heterogeneidad intra-tumor se determinó por medio de IHC y SIH, con un enfoque particular sobre la heterogénea distribución de clones de HER2-positivo en las distintas áreas topográficas de los tumore...
