Abstract |
The mouse model characterized by spontaneous lung metastasis from JygMC (A) cells closely resembles the human triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype. The primary tumors morphologically present both epithelial and spindle-like cells, but metastases in lung parenchyma display only adenocarcinoma properties. In the study of molecular signatures, laser capture microdissection (LCM) on frozen tissue sections was used to separate the following regions of interest: the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), carcinoma, lung metastases, normal mammary gland and normal lung parenchyma. NanoString was selected for the study of molecular signatures in LCM targets as a reliable downstream gene expression platform allowing analysis of tissue lysates without RNA extraction and amplification. This chapter provides detailed protocols for the collection of tissue, LCM sample preparation and dissection, production of lysates, extraction, and quality control of RNA for NanoString analysis, as well as the methodology of Nanostring gene expression profiling experiment. |
