Fresh tumor tissue, was collected at intraoperative pathology evaluation, diced into pieces of 1–2mm diameter, stirred, and randomly assigned to: 1) RNAlater solution later stored at −80°C freezer (FF); or 2) 10% neutral buffered formalin and paraffin-embedded as a FFPE tissue block [10 (link)]. Phenotypically, the nine breast cancers were defined by pathologic status of hormone receptors (HR) and HER2 receptor as: HR+/HER2− in five, HR+/HER2+ in one, and triple receptor-negative (TN) in three. RNA was purified from FF samples using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA), and FFPE samples from 10µm sections using High Pure FFPE RNA Isolation Kit (Roche, Indianapolis, IN). A DNase-I treatment step was included in both.

Archival thyroid neoplasm that had been surgically removed between 2010 and 2014 at Konkuk University Medical Center were blindly re-evaluated according to the 2004 World Health Organization classification of thyroid neoplasm by the two pathologists (Tae Sook Hwang, who is an endocrine pathologist, and Young Sin Ko). In case of a disagreement and to reach a consensus, another endocrine pathologist (Chan-Kwon Jung) independently reviewed the cases. Of the 600 classical PTC cases selected, 518 had BRAF mutation and 6 had RAS mutation. Finally, 76 BRAF and RAS wild-type classical PTC cases were selected. Tumor portion on the hematoxylin and eosin-stained FFPE tissue slides was marked by the pathologist, and total RNA was isolated from two-to-three FFPE tissue sections (10 μm thick) using High Pure FFPE RNA isolation kit (Roche Diagnostics). RT-PCR was performed, and Ct values of the RET/PTC1 rearrangement and GAPDH expression were evaluated. The Ct value defining the analysis as positive is greater than 40 cycles.

The level of gene expression was measured using the NanoString nCounter analysis system (NanoString Technologies, Seattle, WA, USA), as described previously [20 (link)]. Seven cases of icSFT/HPC and six cases of exSFT/HPC were subjected to the gene expression assay. For better RNA quality, the most recently acquired cases were selected from each group based on the test time point. Total RNA was extracted from 10-μm-thick FFPE sections using the High Pure FFPE RNA Isolation Kit (Roche Diagnostic, Mannheim, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Total RNA was hybridized with preset probes and evaluated using the NanoString nCounter digital analyzer (PhileKorea Technologies, Seoul, Korea). The nCounter pan-cancer pathways panel included 770 genes from 13 canonical pathways (NanoString Technologies). Data analysis was performed using nSolver analysis software (NanoString Technologies) and the mRNA profiling data were normalized using housekeeping genes. Normalized data were log2-transformed for further analysis.

Prostate Cancer RNA Profiling Protocol

The H&E slides from all samples were reviewed by two pathologists to mark the areas with the collected sections of 63 prostatectomy specimens composed of 10 PCAs with low Gleason score (≤7, Low GS), 10 PCAs with high Gleason score (>7, High GS), five benign prostate tissues as a control for fold change, and thyroidal follicular carcinoma showing PPAR-γ nuclear staining confirmed by immunohistochemistry as positive control. Subsequently, 10 µm thick sections cut from the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks for dissecting the target area from the slides, then, transferred into microcentrifuge tubes. Before RNA isolations, deparaffinization was performed with 1 mL xylene with 10 min incubation time, and 1 mL absolute ethanol for 10 min. Total RNA was extracted by using High Pure FFPE RNA Isolation Kit (Roche Applied Science, Penzberg, Germany), according to the manufacturers' instructions. RNA yield and quality was assessed by measuring the ratio of spectrophotometric absorbance (260 nm/230 nm and 260 nm/280 nm) using NanoDrop® ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). The extracted RNA samples were considered to be acceptable only with absorbance ratio between 1.0 and 2.0 at 260 nm/230 nm, and between 1.8 and 2.0 at 260 nm/280 nm.

Extracting RNA from FFPE Menisci

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolation of total RNA from FFPE menisci was performed using the High Pure FFPE RNA Isolation Kit (Roche Molecular Diagnostics) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated in absolute ethanol, followed by proteinase K digestion and spin-column RNA purification. The final elution of RNA was performed by adding 25 µl RNA Elution Buffer to the column followed by centrifugation. The RNA concentration and quality (RNA integrity number, RIN) were assessed by means of a spectrophotometer (NanoDrop One, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Agilent Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies Inc.), respectively (Figure S1). Fragmentation analysis was performed to assess the integrity of RNA by measuring the proportion of RNA fragments greater than 50 to 300 base pairs. The latter data were utilized to calculate the corrected RNA input for each NanoString hybridization reaction, following the manufacturer’s instructions. The isolated RNA was stored at −80°C until further analysis.

The RNA of 22 tumors was obtained from FFPE tissue. Five 5-µm thick sections were cut from the FFPE blocks and, by following the manufacturer’s instructions, total RNA was obtained with the High Pure FFPE RNA Isolation Kit (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). RNA concentrations were measured using the Qubit 4 Fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The RNA samples with adequate concentrations were hybridized to the nCounter® PanCancer IO 360TM Gene Expression Panel (NanoString, Seattle, WA, USA), containing 770 genes, for 16 h using a thermocycler. The samples were transferred to the nCounter Prep Station (NanoString, Seattle, WA, USA) for further processing. The gene expression profiles of the samples were digitalized with the nCounter Digital Analyzer. The results were quantified using nSolver 4.0 Analysis Software (NanoString, Seattle, WA, USA).
