1 UCL DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY UCL INSTITUTE OF NEUROLOGY Data Mining for Research and Diagnostics Sebastian Brandner, UCL Institute of Neurology, London

2 Data mining for Research and Diagnostics Our setup Establishing a rapid throughput image analysis pathway for tissue-based molecular diagnostics Analysis of morphological features and immunohistochemical markers Muscle morphometry Peripheral nerve macrophages in preclinical tretment Autopsy morphometry in prion disease Experimental model of brain tumours

3 Specimen preparation and staining Surgical removal of tissue Experimental tissues Tissue processing in PathLab Preparation of histological slides Diagnostic decision making Choice of test Automated IHC, CISH or SISH QC: Visual inspection of slide h 4 h 8h 10 min

4 Digitising and automated image analysis Slides Slide scanning File archiving Web based slide management Submission for image analysis Image analysis Data output to user

5 Detection and quantification of chromosomal losses in SISH slides Aim: to develop a fast-track image analysis to detect SISH signals on FFPE tissue Procedure: Use established (HER2) control slides from ROCHE Setting up image analysis algorithm in Definiens Tissue Studio and Developer Validating image analysis algorithm

6 Normal cell Unbalanced Translocation LOH 1p/19q 36 1p der(1;19)(p10;q10). 19p q 24 1q

7 Definiens Developer and Tissue Studio Identification of region of interest (Ventana control slide; HER2) Regions of interest in detail

8 High magnification of signal within ROI

9 Definiens Developer and Tissue Studio First nuclear identification

10 Nuclear segmentation

11 Result: all nuclei are identified and segmented within the ROI

12 Spot identification (ISH signal) Red= red signal, blue= silver signal

13 Representation of ISH signal on sectioned nuclei 2.5μm ~10μm

14 Validation step: identification and visualisation of red and silver spots code Red Silver

15 Result: Segmentation and spot quantification

16 Data output: counts of red and silver spots in test slide Feature Value Red Silver No Spots Red 1 Silver Red 1 Silver Red 2 Silver Red 2 Silver Red spots (total) 4713 Silver spots (total)

17 Conclusion: image analysis of ISH signal Accurate determination of ISH spot count in tissue sections 1000 s of nuclei counted in minutes (5000 in our ROI) Superior to manual counting of FISH nuclei (usually 100)

18 Examples: Analysis of morphological and immunohistochemical markers across multiple samples Muscle morphometry: Establishing a formula for muscle fibre diameter measurement Peripheral Nerve Macrophage quantification Autopsy morphometry Quantification and overlay of Spongiosis, gliosis and prion protein in CJD brains. Brain tumours: Quantification of expression profiles and comparison with cdna microarrays

19 Example 1: Development of a formula in Definiens Developer to determine muscle fibre diameter

20 Threshold selection from the light area bordering the edge of the scene Use spectrin IHC to identify muscle fibres Tissue identification homogeneity and context to reclassify light areas within the tissue and dark areas within the background Tissue identification II Fill and clean up background

21 Segmenting the Tissue A series of methods are used distance mapping watershed segmentation split connected fibres

22 Cleaning Up Fibre Selection Finally any potential fibres that do not meet set criteria are excluded: Too Small (<20µm) Too Large (2x mean fibre size) Elongated (l/w > 4) 5% error (top and bottom 2.5%) A A-B A-C A-D Minor Axis B C D Major Axis Cylindric sections of increasing eccentricity

23 Output and further data analysis Histogram (10µm bins) of muscle fibre widths

24 Example of muscle fibre analysis in an experimental model Exercise Septic insult D2 analysis D7 analysis D14 analysis Day 2 Day 14

25 Identification of subtle shift of fibre diameter

26 Power of Image Analysis Population Size possible to analyse large areas Detail the accuracy and confidence in results Subtle differences detected Adaptation of markers to capabilities of software can simplify analysis and improve accuracy Once established can be used for large sample series pays off time consuming development

27 Example 2: unsupervised analysis of endoneurial inflammation in preclinical drug tests Analysis of inflammatory response in sciatic nerves of mice: Iba1 IHC on longitudinal sections Treatment and control group Detection of marker (=endoneurial macrophages) Size of marker Frequency and coverage

28 Image analysis of macrophages in sciatic nerves of mice

29 Average Cell Size (µm²) Macrophage quantification in whole mount mouse sciatic nerves: unsupervised analysis 30 Microglia in Sciatic Nerves PRN100 Treatment 4mg group PBS group Microglia Coverage in Nerve (%)

30 Power of Image Analysis Unbiased assessment analysis blind to treatment group Reliable Identification of marker accuracy and confidence in results Simple algorithm can be applied to large sample series

31 Example 3: Standardise tissue analysis on brain autopsy tissue Example: Prion disease (Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease) Several subtypes exist, and show a variation in the pathological patterns Vacuolation (spongiosis) on H&E Gliosis (astrocyte reaction) GFAP IHC Prion protein, detected by IHC
