摘要: Abstract Tumor samples are conserved in clinical practice formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks. Formalin fixation chemically alters nucleic acids, rendering transcriptomic analysis challenging. RNA-sequencing is usually performed on tumor bulk, without distinction of cell subtypes or location. Here we describe the development a robust method for RNA extraction and exome-capture laser-capture microdissected cells (TC) stromal immune (TIL) based their morphology. We applied this 7 (surgical core needle biopsy) triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stored FFPE blocks over 3-10 years. Unsupervised clustering principal component showed clear separation between gene-expression profile TIL TC. were enriched markers B (CD79B, PAX5 BLNK) T (CD2, CD3D CD8B) whereas expressed epithelial (EPCAM, MUC1 KRT8). Microenvironment populations-counter (MCP)-counter deconvolution an enrichment adaptive signatures TIL. Transcripts checkpoints differentially further validated our results by qRT-PCR multispectral immunohistochemistry. In conclusion, that combining microdissection archived feasible allows spatial transcriptional characterization microenvironment.
