We performed whole transcriptome analysis of osteosarcoma bone samples. Initially, we sequenced total RNA from 36 fresh-frozen samples (18 tumoral bone samples and 18 non-tumoral paired samples) matching in pairs for each osteosarcoma patient. We also performed independent gene expression analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples to verify the RNAseq results. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples allowed us to analyze the effect of chemotherapy. Data were analyzed with DESeq2, edgeR and Reactome packages of R. We found 5365 genes expressed differentially between the normal bone and osteosarcoma tissues with an FDR below 0.05, of which 3399 genes were upregulated and 1966 were downregulated. Among those genes, BTNL9, MMP14, ABCA10, ACACB, COL11A1, and PKM2 were expressed differentially with the highest significance between tumor and normal bone. Functional annotation with the reactome identified significant changes in the pathways related to the extracellular matrix degradation and collagen biosynthesis. It was suggested that chemotherapy may induce the modification of ECM with important collagen biosynthesis. Taken together, our results indicate that changes in the degradation of extracellular matrix seem to be an important mechanism of osteosarcoma and efficient chemotherapy induces the genes related to bone formation. Impact statement Osteosarcoma is a rare disease but it is of interest to many scientists all over the world because the current standard treatment still has poor results. We sequenced total RNA from 36 fresh-frozen paired samples (18 tumoral bone samples and 18 non-tumoral paired samples) from osteosarcoma patients. We found that differences in the gene expressions between the normal and affected bones reflected the changes in the regulation of the degradation of collagen and extracellular matrix. We believe that these findings contribute to the understanding of OS and suggest ideas for further studies.

AbstractFormalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues are commonly used biospecimen for clinical diagnosis. However, RNA degradation is extensive when isolated from FFPE blocks making it challenging for whole transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq). Here, we examined RNA isolation methods, quality metrics, and the performance of RNA-seq using different approaches with RNA isolated from FFPE and fresh frozen (FF) tissues. We evaluated FFPE RNA extraction methods using six different tissues and five different methods. The reproducibility and quality of the prepared libraries from these RNAs were assessed by RNA-seq. We next examined the performance and reproducibility of RNA-seq for gene expression profiling with FFPE and FF samples using targeted (Kinome capture) and whole transcriptome capture based sequencing. Finally, we assessed Agilent SureSelect All-Exon V6+UTR capture and the Illumina TruSeq RNA Access protocols for their ability to detect known gene fusions in FFPE RNA samples. Although the overall yield of RNA varied among extraction methods, gene expression profiles generated by RNA-seq were highly correlated (>90%) when the input RNA was of sufficient quality (≥DV200 30%) and quantity (≥ 100 ng). Using gene capture, we observed a linear relationship between gene expression levels for shared genes that were captured using either All-Exon or Kinome kits. Gene expression correlations between the two capture-based approaches were similar using RNA from FFPE and FF samples. However, TruSeq RNA Access protocol provided significantly higher exon and junction reads when compared to the SureSelect All-Exon capture kit and was more sensitive for fusion gene detection. Our study established pre and post library construction QC parameters that are essential to reproducible RNA-seq profiling using FFPE samples. We show that gene capture based NGS sequencing is an efficient and highly reproducible strategy for gene expression measurements as well as fusion gene detection.

Immunohistochemical Testing

Accurate identification of bovine Parainfluenza type 3 virus in bovine respiratory disease requires dependable, sensitive, and specific techniques for detection in affected animals. Immunohistochemical testing can be a rapid and reliable means of demonstration of virus in tissues from suspect cases; however, this procedure is dependent upon the quality of the antisera directed against the viral antigens. The production of rabbit polyclonal and murine monoclonal antibodies directed against bovine Parainfluenza type 3 virus and techniques for their use in fresh-frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues in immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase-based immunohistochemical tests are described.
