Complementary-template reverse-transcription (CT-RT) of single-stranded DNA primers reverse-transcribed from FFPE-RNA. ( a ) RNA extracted from FFPE tissue is reverse-transcribed, the mRNA/DNA duplex is filtered on an YM-50 column and the DNA is single-stranded with RNase-H and column purified. The 5′-NB-Oligo-dA (24) -cT7-3′ (complementary to the T7 promoter) is annealed to the <t>FFPE-cDNA</t> primers. ( b ) Total RNA from universal human reference (UHR, Stratagene) is amplified using the Sense-Amp cRNA amplification kit from Genisphere to provide RNA with the same orientation as messenger RNA . ( c ) Single-stranded DNA primers are hybridized to their sense-RNA template between 70 and 42°C for 90 min. The hybridized products are reverse-transcribed by a process described as CT-RT. The restored FFPE-cDNAs are doubled stranded and transcribed in vitro using T7 polymerase. (See Supplementary Data for technical description of points 1 through 6.)

Experimental procedure utilized for the analysis of 10-year-old matched frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded breast cancer samples. ( a ) Five micrograms of RNA extracted from the 10-year-old frozen portion of the sample, is reverse-transcribed and the cDNA is double stranded (dsDNA), in four individual reactions. The dsDNA of three reactions undergoes IVT-amplification (MessageAmpII, Ambion), which gives rise to complementary RNA (cRNA) for cDNA microarray analyses. The dsDNA of one reaction is used for PCR experiments. ( b ) Five micrograms of RNA extracted from the 10-year-old FFPE portion of the sample underwent the exact same process. ( c ) Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) obtained by RT of 5 μg of FFPE-RNA is purified and hybridized to the sense-RNA template library. The restored ssDNA is double stranded and purified. Three of the CT-RT reactions undergo IVT-amplification, while the dsDNA of one reaction is used for PCR experiments.

Signal intensity and heat-map analysis of the correlation between the log 2 ratios measured by cDNA microarrays. ( a ) Signal intensity of one sample grid in the red channel (Cy5) across all microarrays. Top three panels display the grids obtained from three repeats using cRNA from 10-year-old frozen RNA (Frozen-Amp 1–3). Three mid-panels show the signal of three repeats using cRNA obtained by restoration and IVT-amplification of RNA from 10-year-old FFPE tissue (FFPE-Restored 1–3). Three bottom panels display the signal of three repeats using cRNA obtained by direct IVT-amplification of RNA from 10-year-old FFPE tissue. ( b ) Heat map displaying the log 2 of expression ratios ranging between 0.5 and 2 for 1044 genes detected in frozen tissue on a 28 032 features cDNA microarray and represented in the UHR library. From left to right are displayed the ratios obtained by IVT-amplification of RNA from 10-year-old frozen tissue (Frozen-Amp 1–3), restoration and IVT-amplification of RNA from 10-year-old FFPE tissue (FFPE-Restored 1–3) and direct IVT-amplification of RNA from 10-year-old FFPE tissue (FFPE-Amp 1–3). Each column represents an individual hybridization and each line a different feature. Red and blue represent up-regulated and down-regulated genes, respectively.
