  1. The Agilent miRNA Microarray System A New Microarray-based Tool for Profiling Human miRNAs <Your name here> <Your title here> <Date> miRNA Platform Overview

  2. Choose from a comprehensive set of microarray applications From one-dimensional to multi-dimensional … with multiple applications … RNA DNA Splice Variants GX aCGH CH3 ChIP miRNA Copy number Methylation Transcription Factors mRNA mRNA isoforms miRNA Profiling • Conduct high-resolution, genome-wide profiling of DNA copy number changes • Discover and monitor epigenetic modifications • Elucidate the role that protein-DNA interactions play in transcription, replication, modification and repair • Explore gene transcription on a genome-wide basis • Perform global interrogations of the transcriptome and identify alternative splice forms • Study microRNAs and the role they play in gene regulation miRNA Platform Overview

  3. GeneExpression aCGH CH3 ChIP miRNA Splice Variants The Integrated Agilent Platform Analysiswithinone context miRNA Platform Overview

  4. miRNA Scientific Background and Importance • Definition: 19-30 nucleotide long single-stranded RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression • Key regulators of gene expression, development, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis • May regulate >30% of human genes • Current Sanger miRBASE Release 9.1 has 4361 entries, 474 identified in humans • Projected $100M to be awarded by the NIH for miRNA-related research in 2008* • Discovery of new miRNAs is ongoing … Cancer Genomics: Small RNAs with big impacts from Nature 435: 745-746 (9 June 2005) *Source: NIH CRISP database at http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/ miRNA Platform Overview

  5. miRNAs in Cancer • Cancer cells generally have lower levels of miRNAs than normal cells • Depending on the genes they regulate, miRNAs can function as either an oncogene or tumor suppressor • miRNA profiles can be used to classify human tumors (Lu et al., Nature 435, 834 (2005) • - Profiling of 217 miRNAs from 334 tumors yielded highly accurate classification • - Classifications reflects developmental lineages and tissue of origin • Alterations of miRNA expression have been observed in a number of cancers - Colorectal, pituitary, lung, breast, B-cell lymphoma, glioblastoma, others - In several cancers, specific miRNA signatures are associated with prognosis • Using CGH, shown that miRNA loci have a high frequency of genomic alterations in human cancers (Zhang et al, PNAS 103, 9136 (2006) miRNA Platform Overview

  6. Growth of miRNA Publications Publication Number Source: PubMed search with terms “miRNA” or “microRNA” miRNA Platform Overview

  7. The Agilent miRNA Profiling System/Workflow total RNA (100 ng) Direct Label with Cyanine 3-pCp 8-plex microarray labeled RNA Hybridize on Microarray miRNA profile Data analysis with GeneSpring GX miRNA Platform Overview

  8. Agilent miRNA Platform Highlights • Low sample input - 100 ng of total RNA • No small RNA isolation required • Simple one-tube protocol – results in < 2 days • High sequence and size specificity – mature miRNAs • High sensitivity – Detection limit <0.1 αmol • Broad linear dynamic range (>4 logs) • Replicate probes per array (20 per miRNA) • One-color analysis • Enabled by Agilent miRNA Probe Design and Direct Labeling Methodology miRNA Platform Overview

  10. Probe Design • 1. Probe connected to array surface by stilt • 2. Add G residue to hybridize to target label C provides stability. • 3. Adjust probe size to match Tm. • 4. Hairpin structure provides specificity by destabilizing hybridization to larger, non-target RNAs. • Empirical selection of final probes by microarray validation miRNA Platform Overview

  14. Correlation between microarray and quantitative RT-PCR results qPCR Data Microarray Data Quantitative RT-PCR (qPCR) reactions (orange bars) and microarray hybridizations (blue bars) were run in quadruplicate for each miRNA species. miRNA Platform Overview

  15. Response from Early Access Customer We have shown for the first time that let-7 expression is frequently reduced in lung cancers and that alterations in the miRNA expression may have a prognostic impact on the survival of surgically treated lung cancer patients. Agilent miRNA arrays give us the comprehensive miRNA expression profile with excellent performance on sensitivity and accuracy. I expect that the studies of Agilent miRNA array may ultimately provide a foundation for a new paradigm of the involvement of miRNA in human oncogenesis.
