Detection of MET in non-small cell lung cancer by Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) (CAT#: STEM-MB-1222-WXH)

Introduction

The c-Met/hepatocyte growth factor receptor pathway is frequently dysregulated in multiple cancer types, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MET amplification has been shown to develop as a resistance mechanism to treatment in NSCLC. The identification of increased MET copy number within tumour cells is increasingly important to stratify those tumours and patients which are susceptible to treatment targetting MET kinase inhibition.

Principle

FISH uses fluorescent probes with complementary base sequences to locate the presence or absence of specific portions of DNA on chromosomes. The probe and target DNA must be denatured with heat or chemicals to break hydrogen bonds in the DNA and to allow hybridisation to occur once the two samples are mixed. The fluorescent probes form new hydrogen bonds with their complementary base pairs on the DNA, and these can then be detected via microscopy.

Applications

Detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes.
Detect and localize specific RNA targets (mRNA, lncRNA and miRNA) in cells, circulating tumor cells, and tissue samples.

Procedure

1. Sample preparation
2. Co-denaturation and hybridization
3. Probe detection
4. Wash off of unbound probe
5. Analysis by flow cytometer/fluorescence microscopy

Materials

• Flow cytometer
