PG - 1246-1263 LID - S1525-1578(20)30426-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jmoldx.2020.07.003 [doi] AB - DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) are promising biomarkers to predict prostate cancer (PCa) outcome. However, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) cannot assess complex CNA signatures because of low multiplexing capabilities. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) can detect multiple CNAs in a single PCR assay, but PCa-specific probe mixes available commercially are lacking. Synthetic MLPA probes were designed to target 10 CNAs relevant to PCa: 5q15-21.1 (CHD1), 6q15 (MAP3K7), 8p21.2 (NKX3-1), 8q24.21 (MYC), 10q23.31 (PTEN), 12p13.1 (CDKN1B), 13q14.2 (RB1), 16p13.3 (PDPK1), 16q23.1 (GABARAPL2), and 17p13.1 (TP53), with 9 control probes. In cell lines, CNAs were detected when the cancer genome was as low as 30%. Compared with FISH in radical prostatectomy formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples (n = 18: 15 cancers and 3 matched benign), the MLPA assay showed median sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 93%, respectively, across all CNAs assessed. In the validation set (n = 40: 20 tumors sampled in two areas), the respective sensitivity and specificity of MLPA compared advantageously with FISH and TaqMan droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) when assessing PTEN deletion (FISH: 85% and 100%; ddPCR: 100% and 83%) and PDPK1 gain (FISH: 100% and 92%; ddPCR: 93% and 100%). This new PCa probe mix accurately identifies CNAs by MLPA across multiple genes using low quality and quantities (50 ng) of DNA extracted from clinical formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples.
