WT indicates patients with only wild-type alleles of genes tested. Adapted by Kenneth X. Probst from Döhner et al with permission.

68 Solid Tumor Cytogenetics: art or science? 1. Unpredictable growth of the neoplastic cells in tissue culture.

69 Solid Tumor Cytogenetics: art or science? 2. Overgrowth of neoplastic cells by reactive non-neoplastic cells.

70 Solid Tumor Cytogenetics: art or science? 3. Destruction of tumor cultures by bacterial or fungal infection.

71 Solid Tumor Cytogenetics: art or science? 4. Failure of tumor cultures to grow because of non-viable tumor.

75 Chromosome translocations in cancer: Gene fusion Gene activation

76 Chromosome abnormalities in cancer Acquired Nonrandom Clonal Used for diagnosis and prognosis

77 Chromosome Changes in Cancer Disease specific changes: Leukemias Lymphomas Mesenchymal Tumors

78 Chromosome Changes in Cancer Unbalanced multiple and unspecific karyotypic abnormalities: Epithelial tumors (breast, colon, lung, prostate, ovary) Mesenchymal tumors (osteosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma) Secondary hematologic malignancies

81 Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)

82 Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) Hybridization of a fluorescently labeled nucleic acid probe to a target sequence within a specimen on a microscope slide

83 Basic FISH Procedure Prepare Slide (denature, dehydrate) Prepare Probe (denature in hyb. buffer) Hybridize Wash Counterstain (with DAPI-antifade) Visualize

85 Visualizing FISH Emission / Barrier Filter Dichroic Mirror Excitation Filter

87 FISH in the cytogenetics laboratory: Satellite sequence probes Whole chromosome paints Unique sequence probes

88

89 Molecular Cytogenetic Analysis In situ Hybridization Targets Metaphase chromosomes Interphase nuclei Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues

90 FISH Overview Each probe attaches to specific target. Differently colored probes simultaneously determine both number and location of different loci. Metaphase & interphase Quantitative assessment in intact tissue, cells, nuclei or chromosomes.

109 Epidemiology #4 most common CA in Men #2 most common CA of GU Tract! 600,000 in North America living with bladder UC 57,400 new cases/year 12,500 deaths/year! Highest recurrence rate of any cancer (~70%) 30% of recurrent tumors progress American Cancer Society 2005

110 Urine Cytology

111 Cytology High Specificity Low Sensitivity Frustration high for US urologists Atypical cellularity: Recommend clinical correlation or further testing.

112 UroVysion Intended Use The UroVysion Bladder Cancer Kit (UroVysion Kit) is designed to detect aneuploidy for chromosomes 3, 7, 17, and loss of the 9p21 locus via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in urine specimens from persons with hematuria suspected of having bladder cancer.! Results from the UroVysion Kit are intended for use, in conjunction with and not in lieu of current standard diagnostic procedures, as an aid for:! 1. Initial diagnosis of bladder carcinoma in patients with hematuria suspected of having BCa and subsequent! 2. Monitoring for tumor recurrence in patients previously diagnosed with bladder cancer.!!!

113 UroVysion (p16 gene)

114 FISH Results CEP 3 (red = 2) CEP 7 (green = 2) CEP 17 (aqua = 2) LSI 9p21 (gold = 2)

115 Positive FISH DAPI CEP 3 (red = 8) CEP 7 (green = 4) CEP 17 (aqua = 3) LSI 9p21 (gold = 1)

117 NSCLCs hybridized with the ALK break-apart FISH probe (Abbott Molecular). Camidge D R et al. Clin Cancer Res 2010;16: by American Association for Cancer Research

118 Strengths & Limitations of FISH Strengths Wide variety of tissues Metaphase & interphase Specimen structure remains intact. Cell-by-cell analysis Accommodates breakpoint variation Detects cytogenetically cryptic aberrations Contamination from previous tests not an issue Limitations Can not detect very small genetic lesions Lacks very low level detection of PCR Not as quick as rapid-cycle real-time PCR Not yet as automated as some other molecular techniques.
