View SamplesBiologic markers of immune tolerance may facilitate tailoring of immune suppression duration after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). In a cross-sectional study, peripheral blood samples were obtained from tolerant (n=15, median 38.5 months post-HCT) and non-tolerant (n=17, median 39.5 post-HCT) HCT recipients and healthy control subjects (n=10) for analysis of immune cell subsets and differential gene expression. There were no significant differences in immune subsets across groups. We identified 281 probe sets unique to the tolerant (TOL) group and 122 for non-tolerant (non-TOL). These were enriched for process networks including NK cell cytotoxicity, antigen presentation, lymphocyte proliferation, and cell cycle and apoptosis. Differential gene expression was enriched for CD56, CD66, and CD14 human lineage-specific gene expression. Differential expression of 20 probe sets between groups was sufficient to develop a classifier with > 90% accuracy, correctly classifying 14/15 TOL cases and 15/17 non-TOL cases. These data suggest that differential gene expression can be utilized to accurately classify tolerant patients following HCT. Prospective investigation of immune tolerance biologic markers is warranted.

This study evaluated gene expresion to determine if gene expression differences existed which would allow one to identify the metastatic tumors based on the expression of specific genes.

View SamplesA key step in bringing gene expression data into clinical practice is the conduct of large studies to confirm preliminary models. The performance of such confirmatory studies and the transition to clinical practice requires that microarray data from different laboratories are comparable and reproducible. We designed a study to assess the comparability of data from four laboratories that will conduct a larger microarray profiling confirmation project in lung adenocarcinomas. To test the feasibility of combining data across laboratories, frozen tumor tissues, cell line pellets, and purified RNA samples were analyzed at each of the four laboratories. Samples of each type and several subsamples from each tumor and each cell line were blinded before being distributed. The laboratories followed a common protocol for all steps of tissue processing, RNA extraction, and microarray analysis using Affymetrix Human Genome U133A arrays. High within-laboratory and between-laboratory correlations were observed on the purified RNA samples, the cell lines, and the frozen tumor tissues. Intraclass correlation within laboratories was only slightly stronger than between laboratories, and the intraclass correlation tended to be weakest for genes expressed at low levels and showing small variation. Finally, hierarchical cluster analysis revealed that the repeated samples clustered together regardless of the laboratory in which the experiments were done. The findings indicate that under properly controlled conditions it is feasible to perform complete tumor microarray analysis, from tissue processing to hybridization and scanning, at multiple independent laboratories for a single study.

View SamplesHere we report a large, training*testing, multi-site, blinded validation study to characterize the performance of several prognostic models based on gene expression for 442 lung adenocarcinomas. The hypotheses proposed examined whether microarray measurements of gene expression either alone or combined with basic clinical covariates (stage, age, sex) could be used to predict overall survival in lung cancer subjects. Several models examined produced risk scores that substantially correlated with actual subject outcome. Most methods performed better with clinical data, supporting the combined use of clinical and molecular information when building prognostic models for early-stage lung cancer. This study also provides the largest available set of microarray data with extensive pathological and clinical annotation for lung adenocarcinomas.
