2 Perceived to be the result of DNA obtained from shed skin cells STR profiles can be obtained Tissue source not typically confirmed Lack of molecular based strategies for skin identification Some claim that identification of tissue source of origin from trace biological material is not possible Failure to identify tissue source could have undue influence on perception of the circumstances of the crime Aim: identification of skin using RNA biomarkers mrna and mirna 2
3 3
4 Literature searches ( biased approach) Whole transcriptome sequencing (RNAseq) ( unbiased approach) Human skin total RNA samples Two donors, each run in duplicate Comparison with two vaginal secretions samples Sequence data compared to NCBI reference database Count values indicate expression levels ( DGE ) Our strategy: genes with high counts in skin but low counts in vaginal secretions 4
5 * literature 20 RNAseq *some candidates rejected after sequence review since suitable primers could not be designed higher count values in skin samples compared to vaginal samples (other epithelial cell containing fluid) + ID d from literature search; confirmed with RNAseq data once available ++ ID d from RNAseq data directly 5
6 LCE 1C, 1D, 2D Late Cornified Envelope genes Groups 1 and 2 (in contrast to Group 3) are dominant in skin (external epithelia) Vulva intermediate expression (between internal/external) CCL27 Chemokine Most abundant expression of CCL27 observed in keratinocytes of epidermal basal layers recruits CLA+ memory T cells to normal or inflamed skinbinds to receptor CCR10 IL1F7 Interleukin 1 family, member 7 (IL37) Predominant role in suppression of inflammatory responses IL1F7 synthesized by, inter alia, keratinocytes 6
7 LCE1C (RT+) 15ng (RT-) 15ng LCE1D (RT+) 25ng (RT-) 25ng LCE2D (RT+) 25ng (RT-) 25ng CCL27 (RT+) 25ng (RT-) 25ng IL1F7 (RT+) 25ng (RT-) 25ng 7
8 Only small number of positives in other fluids Signals still significantly less than skin (10-45 X less) Some samples were not quantitated Possible that some samples came in contact with external surfaces or hands during collection? 8
9 * Human skin total RNA samples * Header colors indicate CE channel 9
10 Specificity of all markers re-evaluated Optimal input based on sensitivity data No cross-reactivity observed with the other body fluids using this input * * *re-designed primers 10
11 > 50 RFUs RNA Isolation: Manual, AllPrep, RNeasy, Pin Point ~50% success rate 11
12 Glove, female Fingerprint - glass Coffee Pot Handle Forehead Candy jar lid 12
13 Multiple products obtained with initial primer set Possible amplification of other variants/isoforms? Sequencing of expected-sized product confirms LCE1C Primer set re-designed to improve specificity Still two products (56/58bp), but improved sensitivity Original primers New primers 13
14 100% detection in sample set (N=12) with the redesigned LCE1C primer set Small sample size need to test additional samples 14
15 High sensitivity of redesigned LCE1C Need to ensure that sensitivity is not too great False positives Areas presumed to be negative for skin contact were tested 1 st amp hood False positive, since re-testing of multiple areas all negative Base board Reagents stored in this area Possible that skin cells are present in this area 15

18 Visser et al (Int J Leg Med (2011), 125 (2): p253-63) CDSN, LOR, KRT9 Report strong over-expression in skin samples relative to samples from forensic body fluids Detection in thumbprints High Avg. Ct values LOR ~36, CDSN ~ 35, KRT9 ~ 36, ACTB~36 We had previously evaluated CDSN, LOR, KRT9 CDSN detection in vaginal secretions and menstrual blood Gel based assays LOR similar expression levels in vaginal secretions Using same ABI real time PCR assay and gels KRT9 only detectable with >25ng? 18

21 Touch/Contact samples Test additional samples-also correlate with STR results Optimize RNA recovery Characterize the amount and quality of RNA In progress Some preliminary data demonstrating the ability to obtain DNA and RNA profiling results from touch/contact samples Develop mirna assays for the identification of skin 21
