1 J Neurosurg 95: , 2001 Detection of proliferating S-phase brain tumor cells by in situ DNA replication ROBERT J. WEIL, M.D., STEVEN A. TOMS, M.D., MAHLON D. JOHNSON, M.D., PH.D., AND AMANDA MEALER, B.S. Departments of Neurosurgery and Pathology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee Object. Current methods used to describe the proliferative status of brain tumors rely on labor-intensive, potentially costly procedures. This article provides a description of a rapid, inexpensive, uncomplicated technique used to identify proliferating cells in tissue obtained at the time of resection. Methods. Touch preparations of 16 fresh astrocytic tumors and four fresh healthy temporal neocortical tissue samples were obtained at the time of surgery. Slides were placed in hypotonic potassium chloride to permeabilize their membranes, incubated in nucleotide precursors, and labeled with bromodeoxyuridine; they were later examined with the aid of a fluorescence microscope. The percentage of tumor cells in the S phase increased in conjunction with the grade of tumor and corresponded with the findings of immunohistochemical staining for the cell-cycle marker MIB-1. These results were confirmed in cell culture by using normal human astrocytes and two glioma cell lines. Slides can be analyzed in as little as 30 minutes after removal of tissue during surgery. Conclusions. In this study the authors describe a simple method by which cells in the S phase of the cell cycle, which are contained in fresh tumor obtained at the time of surgery, can be labeled. This method may prove a useful adjunct to frozen-section analysis and may permit discrimination of neoplastic tissues from other tissues observed in small specimen samples. KEY WORDS glioma S phase proliferation index DNA replication proliferating cell nuclear antigen MIB-1 bromodeoxyuridine touch preparation DESPITE the need, rapid reproducible procedures designed to describe molecular disease of primary brain tumors have been slow to emerge. Traditional pathological examinations have been complemented in the past decade by immunohistochemical analyses and other methods that attempt to link the aneuploidy or proliferative status of tumor cells with their biological and clinical behavior. 3,5,8,10,12 Histological markers of proliferation, such as PCNA, MIB-1, and BrdU labeling, or flow cytometric analysis of karyotypical abnormalities, require time-consuming and expensive procedures. We have developed a rapid, inexpensive, reproducible method to identify S-phase cells specifically in fresh touch preparations obtained at surgery, without prelabeling or Abbreviations used in this paper: AA = anaplastic astrocytoma; ATP = adenosine triphosphate; BrdU = bromodeoxyuridine; CTP = cytidine triphosphate; datp = deoxyadenosine triphosphate; dctp = deoxycytidine triphosphate; dgtp = deoxyguanosine triphosphate; drntp = deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate; dutp = deoxyuridine triphosphate; FISH = fluorescence in situ hybridization; GBM = glioblastoma multiforme; GTP = guanosine triphosphate; PBS = phosphate-buffered saline; PCNA = proliferating cell nuclear antigen; rntp = ribonucleoside triphosphate; UTP = uridine triphosphate. J. Neurosurg. / Volume 95 / November, 2001 other histological manipulation. These simple cell preparations can be permeabilized and incubated in buffer containing rntps and drntps, and can be labeled with BrdU: only cells in the S phase of the cell cycle will synthesize DNA in vitro. Incubations as short as 15 minutes allow detection of S-phase cells. This technique is a rapid and specific tool that may complement both intraoperative and final pathological diagnosis. It overcomes a number of problems encountered with more detailed methods currently used to analyze the proliferative status of tumor cells, and it may prove useful in predicting the biological behavior of brain tumors. Materials and Methods Surgical Specimens Tissue samples obtained at surgery were touched lightly to clean, sterile, silica-coated glass slides. The tissues were then sent for routine pathological examination, and immunohistochemical staining for MIB-1 was performed in the pathology department according to routine protocols. All brain tissue samples were obtained as part of an institutional review board approved protocol. Slides were promptly immersed in M KCl at 37 C for at least 5 minutes to permeabilize the cells, after which the cells were labeled according to modifications of the procedure of Mills, et al. 6,9,16 Slides are washed twice in fresh 1 PBS for 1 minute each time at 20 C, and 833

TABLE 1 Labeling of cells in culture during S phase* Confluent Cells 3 H-Synchronized Cells in S Phase Cells in S Phase normal astrocytes U373 cells U87MG cells *Values are expressed as mean percentage standard deviation. Cell culture conditions are described in Materials and Methods. The term 3 H- synchronized cells refers to subconfluent (50 80% confluent) cells synchronized during the S phase by application of thymidine to serum-free medium for 24 hours, as described in Materials and Methods. Sources of Supplies and Equipment The glioma cell lines U373 and U87MG were gifts from D. O Rourke of the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, PA) and W. Cavenee of the Ludwig Institute (San Diego, CA), respectively. Healthy astrocytes were purchased from Clonetics (Walkersville, MD). The Lab-Tek slide chambers used to grow the cells were manufactured by Nalge Nunc International (Naperville, IL). Sucrose, NaCl, spermidine, spermine, bovine serum albumin, K-Hepes, MgCl 2, ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP, datp, dgtp, dctp, thymidine, and BrdU were all acquired from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO). The protease-inhibitor cocktail was obtained from Boehringer Mannheim (Indianapolis, IN) and the fluorescein-11-dutp from Roche Diagnostics (Indianapolis, IN). The fluorescent mounting medium was purchased from Dako, Corp. (Carpinteria, CA). Stat- View statistical software (Version 4.5) was provided by the SAS Institute (Cary, NC). The Axiophot microscope was obtained from Carl Zeiss (Thornwood, NY), the charge-coupled device camera from Photometrics Ltd. (Tucson, AZ), and the IP Lab Image software from Signal Analytics (Vienna, VA). were then transferred in SuNaSp/BSA buffer (0.25 M sucrose, 75 mm NaCl, 0.5 mm spermidine, 0.15 M spermine, with 3% bovine serum albumin). The slides were incubated in this buffer for 1 minute at 20 C, after which they were removed and 50 L of incubation buffer was added to each slide to cover all touch preparations. The incubation buffer consisted of three parts (by volume) of SuNaSp/BSA with protease-inhibitor cocktail to one part nucleotide mix (40 mm K-Hepes, ph 7.8; 4 mm MgCl 2 ; 3 mm ATP; 0.1 mm each of GTP, CTP, and UTP; 25 M datp; 0.1 mm each of dgtp and dctp; and 50 M fluorescein-11-dutp. After incubation newly replicating DNA stained green. The slides were incubated in a humidified chamber at 37 C for 10 minutes (during this and subsequent steps the slides should be shielded from light). The slides were washed twice in 1 PBS at room temperature for 1 minute and then fixed by immersion in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS (ph 7.4) at 4 C for 5 minutes. Next, the slides were washed twice in 1 PBS at 20 C. They were stained with propidium iodide and RNase A in 1 PBS (1 g/ml each) for 3 minutes at 20 C. Propidium iodide stains all cells red, measures total DNA content, and serves as a counterstain for the fluorescein. 1,9 The slides were washed in deionized water for 2 minutes at 20 C. Following this procedure, the slides were covered with fluorescent mounting medium. Images of the specimens were collected using a microscope and the images were captured with the aid of a charge-coupled device camera by using imaging software; cells that were double labeled appeared yellow. For cell-culture studies, three separate fields with 200 cells each were counted and the mean and standard deviation were determined. Areas containing the greatest amount of S-phase or MIB-1 staining were selected for counting. The Student t-test and chi-square test were applied, as appropriate. 17 Statistical calculations were performed using commercially available computer software. Cell Culture The cells were grown under standard conditions at 37 C in 95% O 2 /5% CO 2. Glioma cell lines U373 and U87MG were used as a comparison. Healthy astrocytes were grown according to the supplier s specifications. Cells were grown to confluence and were then prepared in the manner described earlier. Synchronization of the S Phase Subconfluent cells grown on slide chambers at 37 C were synchronized with 3 mm thymidine for 24 hours in serum-free medium. 1,9 The cells were washed, after which 10 M BrdU was added for 4 hours to label the S-phase cells. The cells were permeabilized and labeled in the manner specified earlier. 6,9,16 Results Previous work has shown that cells frozen during the S phase can synthesize DNA in vitro when thawed and incubated in buffers containing complete nucleotide precursors. 6,7,9,16 We set out to adapt this method to detect S-phase cells in touch preparations of brain tumors obtained at surgery by virtue of their DNA replication in situ. First, normal astrocytes and glioma cell lines grown to confluence on coverslips were permeabilized and labeled. In normal astrocytes, which grow slowly, there was a very small fraction of cells in the S phase compared with the U373 and U87MG cells ( 0.3% compared with approximately 1 2%, respectively; Table 1). Synchronization of serum-starved cells with thymidine increased counts of cells in the S phase, as has previously been shown with HeLa cells. 6,9,16 Touch preparations were obtained from samples of tumor and healthy temporal lobe at surgery and were labeled (Fig. 1). The slides were compared with representative pathological sections processed for routine histological examination. Ten to thirty percent of cells in viable fractions of GBM samples (obtained from eight patients) were labeled (Fig. 2). Areas of tissue obtained from enhancing portions of the GBMs stained vigorously. This contrasts with an area of combined tumor and radiation necrosis in a patient with a recurrent GBM, which only displayed approximately 5% labeling. In this specimen, evidence of significant DNA damage was seen in response to propidium iodide staining (Fig. 2D). Samples obtained from five AAs displayed 5 to 10% staining in all areas of viable tumor (Fig. 2), whereas three low-grade astrocytomas exhibited fewer cells ( 3%) staining positively for the S phase (Fig. 3). Specimens of normal temporal lobe obtained in four patients displayed no S-phase labeling in either gray or white matter (Fig. 3). Differences in S-phase labeling between tumor types were statistically significant (Table 2), which is consistent with advancement to higher tumor grade. For four patients with AAs and six with GBMs, in whom immunohistochemical analysis was also performed, general levels of MIB-1 staining and S-phase labeling indices corresponded for each tissue or tumor type (Fig. 2 and Table 2), although there was more variability observed when the MIB-1 method was used. At a minimum, we evaluated three separate areas of tumor that had the highest levels of staining and calculated and compared S-phase labeling and MIB-1 staining. For the intratumoral group of GBMs, S-phase labeling was more consistent than MIB-1 staining (p 0.05, one-group chi- 834 J. Neurosurg. / Volume 95 / November, 2001

The S-phase labeling also produced less staining variability between GBMs and AAs (p 0.05, two-group chi-square test). Discussion Cell division requires accurate and timely reproduction and segregation of chromosomes. 11,14 16 Regulation of this process is accomplished by an orderly series of events known as the cell cycle. 11,15 Two major events define the cell cycle: the reproduction of the chromosomes through DNA synthesis (S phase), and chromosome segregation during mitosis (M phase). 8,11,14,15 The S phase is regulated by a number of proteins that are essential to control DNA synthesis. 4,8,11,15 A nexus of cell-cycle regulators and signal transduction pathways has been identified, and a variety of methods has been developed to study these regulators for diagnostic purposes. At present, four basic methods for studying cell-cycle kinetics in tumor specimens are available: 1) thymidine incorporation followed by autoradiography; 2) BrdU injection in vivo followed by immunohistochemical analysis; 3) flow cytometry of fresh tissues; and 4) immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded tissues J. Neurosurg. / Volume 95 / November, 2001 performed using cell cycle specific antibodies. 1 3,8,10,19 The first three methods have several drawbacks, including variable uptake of tracers such as BrdU; cost of supplies, equipment, and personnel; and the length of time required, usually a minimum of 1 to 2 days. Immunohistochemical methods have been more widely adopted, not only because of their lower cost, but also because they can be performed serially or as part of a larger panel of antibodies. Numerous studies have shown the utility of implementing several protein markers of cell proliferation to help diagnose and predict the outcome of brain tumor (for a review, see the article by Matsutani 8 ). One such enzyme, PCNA, is expressed principally during the S phase of the cell cycle. The PCNA binds DNA polymerase and appears to play a critical role in the initiation of cell proliferation. 13 Another proliferation marker, Ki-67, which is an antigen corresponding to a nuclear nonhistone protein expressed in proliferating cells, has a similar utility; a variant, MIB-1, is a monoclonal antibody used on formalinfixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. 5,8,12 These markers are also used to label cells in the M, G 1, and G 2 phases, however, and may be deregulated in highly malignant tumors. Delay in tissue fixation also alters the results. Thus, expression levels of MIB-1 or PCNA do not exhibit a linear relationship with the number of cells found in the S phase, 835

Neurosurg. / Volume 95 / November, 2001 maining tissue is sent for regular pathological examination. An incubation time as short as 15 minutes permits detection of labeled DNA precursors. Cells obtained ex vivo from fresh brain specimens remain viable and capable of initiating DNA replication. When incubated with buffer containing rntps and drntps, cells in the S phase continue to synthesize DNA in situ. As is the case with other pathological or labeling techniques, there is some mutability between separate regions of tumor. This is related to intrinsic tumor factors such as degree of cellularity, proliferation of stromal and enodothelial components, or areas of calcification obscuring the underlying tumor component; tumor or radiation-induced necrosis; and tissue impression and processing techniques. 18 Nevertheless, it appears that the S-phase method leads to more uniform labeling both within and between tumors. It may be that the absence of processing artifacts in fresh-touch preparations minimizes the variability in S-phase staining compared with MIB-1 labeling. The S-phase labeling method does not require additional histological processing. The results can be archived on a computerized system, and the slides can be used for additional analyses with other molecular diagnostic studies, such as FISH, because this in situ labeling techniques does not appear to inhibit later FISH probe hybridization (data not shown). The method we describe is simple, rapid, and reproducible. It utilizes reagents and equipment commonly found in most modern pathology departments. It is superior to any current method of in vivo labeling in humans because it does not require preoperative injection of precursors such as BrdU. The slides may be analyzed in as little as 30 minutes after removal of the tissue sample, which is comparable to the length of time required for frozensection analysis. Rapid identification of S-phase cells may 837
