DNA methylation analysis of paraffin-embedded archival tumor tissues (PEAT) is important in clinical and translational research studies. Efficient identification and isolation of homogeneous cell population, optimal DNA extraction, and sodium bisulfite modification (SBM) are essential, particularly in small tumor lesions. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) coupled with an in situ SBM improves the specificity, through histopathology accuracy, and the amount of genomic DNA modified for downstream methylation assays.
石蜡包埋存档肿瘤组织(PEAT)的DNA甲基化分析在临床和转化研究中具有重要意义。高效识别和分离同质细胞群体、优化DNA提取以及亚硫酸氢钠修饰(SBM)至关重要,尤其是在小肿瘤病变中。激光捕获显微切割(LCM)与原位SBM相结合,通过组织病理学准确性提高了特异性,以及用于下游甲基化检测的基因组DNA修饰量。
