INTRODUCTION: Studies are needed to assess the quality of transcriptome analysis
in paired human tissue samples preserved by different methods and different gene
amplification platforms to enable data comparisons across experimenters. METHODS:
RNA was extracted from kidney biopsies, either submerged in RNA-stabilizing
solution (RSS) or stored in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks. RNA
quality and integrity were compared. Gene expression of the common rejection
module and other immune cell genes were quantified for both tissue preservation
methods in the same sample using conventional quantitative polymerase chain
reaction (QPCR) by 2 different commercial platforms, (fluidigm [FD]) or
barcoded-oligos (nanostring [NS]). RESULTS: RNA quality was inferior in FFPE
tissues. Despite this, gene expression for 19 measured genes on the same sample,
stored in FFPE or RSS, were strongly correlated on the FD (r = 0.81) or NS
platforms (r = 0.82). For the same samples, interplatform gene expression
correlations were excellent (r = 0.80) for RSS and moderate (r = 0.66) for FFPE.
Significant differences in gene expression were confirmed on both platforms (FD:
P = 1.1E-03; NS: P = 2.5E-04) for biopsy-confirmed acute rejection. CONCLUSION:
Our study provided supportive evidence that despite a low RNA quality of archival
FFPE kidney transplantation tissue, small quantities of this tissue can be
obtained from existing paraffin blocks to provide a viable and rich biospecimen
source for focused gene expression assays. In addition, reliable and reproducible
gene expression evaluation can be performed on these FFPE tissues using either a
QPCR-based or a barcoded-oligo approach, which provides opportunities for
collaborative analytics.
