Gene expression analysis in formalin fixed paraffin embedded melanomas is associated with density of corresponding immune cells in those tissues.

Abstract:

:Immune cell infiltrates in melanoma have important prognostic value. Gene expression analysis may simultaneously quantify numbers and function of multiple immune cell subtypes in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. Prior studies report single gene expression can represent individual immune cell subtypes, but this has not been shown in FFPE melanomas. We hypothesized that gene expression profiling of human melanomas using a new RNA expression technology in FFPE tissue would correlate with the same immune cells identified by immunohistochemistry (IHC). This retrospective study included melanoma specimens analyzed by IHC on tumor tissue microarray (TMA) cores and by gene expression profiling with EdgeSeq Immuno-Oncology Assay using qNPA technology on the corresponding tumors. Standardized gene expression levels were analyzed relative to enumerated cells by IHC using Spearman rank test to calculate r-values. Multivariate analysis was performed by Kruskal-Wallis test. 119 melanoma specimens had both IHC and gene expression information available. There were significant associations between the level of gene expression and its quantified IHC cell marker for CD45+, CD3+, CD8+, CD4+, and CD20+ cells (all p < 0.001). There were also significant associations with exhaustion markers FoxP3+, PD-1+, and PD-L1+ (all p ≤ 0.0001). This new qNPA technology is useful to quantify intratumoral immune cells on FFPE specimens through RNA gene expression in metastatic melanoma. As previous studies have shown on other solid human tumors, we also confirm that the expression level of a single gene may be used to represent a single IHC immune cell marker in melanoma.
