Background technology
The diagnosis of disease is all closely related with histiocytic gene and the variation of relevant molecule thereof with treatment, and this molecule variation just has clinical value when being ubiquitous.In fact, the evaluation for a molecular marker needs hundreds of tissue specimens to thousands of different stages of development.Yet traditional pathology method and be based upon immunohistochemistry on its basis, the tissue specimen that in situ hybridization and original position PCR etc. is detected in most of the cases all is single, that be dispersed in, accidental, isolated.If carry out correct evaluation to a molecular marker then needs expensive human and material resources and financial resources, and be a very very long and complicated process.In order to solve this difficult problem, many scientists have carried out a large amount of research.The Kononen of the NIH of NIH in 1998 (Kononen J, Bubendorf L etc., " being used for little detection of organizing of tumor sample high flux characterization of molecules " (Tissue microarrays for high-throughputmolecular profiling of tumor specimens), Nat Med., in July, 1998; 4 (7): 844-7) reported a kind of tissue Microarray technology, and become the new focus of biochip research field.Use this technology, (Schraml P such as Schraml, Kononen J, Bubendorf L etc., " be used for many different tumor types gene magnification research organize little detection " (Tissue microarrays for gene amplification surveys in many differenttumor types), Clin Cancer Res, 1999; 5 (5): 1966-1975) in a week, detected the expression of CCND1, CMYC and three kinds of oncogenes of ERBB2 in 17 kinds of tumour 397 routine tissue samples; (RichterJ such as Richter, Wagner U, Kononen J etc., " the little check and analysis of the high-flux tissue of cyclin E gene magnification and overexpression in the carcinoma of urinary bladder " (High-throughout tissue microarray analysis ofcyclin E gene amplification andoverexprssion in urinary bladder cancer), Am Society Invest Pathol, 2000,157 (3): 787-794) in two weeks, detected the expression of cyclin E gene and the CCNE in this of 2317 increments in the 1842 routine bladder cancer patients.Obviously, this method has improved the efficient that detects greatly, has quickened progress of research, has shortened the cycle of studying, has also saved reasearch funds simultaneously.
Tissue array technology is that a large amount of tissue specimens are integrated and be fixed on the slide of special processing and hybridize with the sample molecule of mark then, the hybridization signal intensity by detecting each probe molecule and then obtain the information of sample molecule quantity, distribution, expression in particular organization.The preparation of organization chip needs various various disease tissues and relevant clinical data and pathological data, and the development of technology is subjected to resource limit bigger, so than biochip technologies such as DNA chip, protein chip, slower development.But DNA chip and tissue array technology are complementary.The effect of DNA chip can be summarized as the height intensification that makes biological information, as detecting the expression situation of thousands of kinds of genes in a tumor tissues, and the effect of organization chip can be summarized as the height amplificationization that makes biological information, as detecting a kind of or one group of expression of gene situation in nearly thousand kinds of tumours.This detection can be finished on a slide, its high efficiency, and scientific and economy is that classic method is incomparable.
Since tissue array technology was born in 1998, domestic and international in recent years many pieces of patents and article all had report, and technology is constantly progressive, and novel chip continues to bring out.
The technical scheme that existing tissue array technology is mainly taked is: employing mechanization apparatus for preparation or automated preparation instrument take out cylindric tissue core from donor paraffin organization sample (tissue-derived in various malignant tumours, various benign tumours, various cancer premutations, various non-neoplastic diseases, various normal structures, various embryonic tissues, various blood and hematopoietic tissue, each total cell extract, various biopsies or cell, various hydrothorax, ascites, sputum, cell in the transudate, the histocyte of various in vitro culture and clone, various bacteriums and saccharomycete, various transgenic animals tissues or various transgenosis organs etc.), each cylindric tissue core is placed in the blank wax stone of another piece (acceptor piece) by design sequence, formative tissue microarray wax stone, from this micro-array tissue wax stone, can obtain a large amount of micro-array tissue sections, section being placed on the slide of silication and gel is the formative tissue micro-array biochip, comprises a large amount of orderly various donor paraffin organization samples on each tissue microarray biochip.
The technical development of mechanization organization chip point sample is to today, and existing many companies such as ALPHELYS, CHEMICON, Genxpress, Alpha Metrix etc. develop multiple different point sample instrument.Technology such as we take the lead in adopting 96 orifice plate point sample methods on the basis of these point sample instrument relative merits of research, make groove at the magnetic fixed pan and carry out sample and fix, and locating device is preposition have improved speed, the accuracy of point sample, have very high use value.
