Fig. 1. Schematic of PARE approach. The method is based on next-generation mate-paired analysis of resected tumor DNA to identify individualized tumor-specific rearrangements. Such alterations are used to develop PCR-based quantitative analyses for personalized tumor monitoring of plasma samples or other bodily fluids.
Fig. 2. Detection of tumor-specific rearrangements in breast and colorectal cancers. Two representative rearrangements are shown for each tumor sample. (A) PCR amplification across breakpoint regions. MW, molecular weight; T, tumor; N, normal. (B) Genomic coordinates for a representative mate pair of each rearrangement.
Fig. 3. Detection of tumor-specific rearrangements in mixtures of tumor and normal DNA. Decreasing amounts of tumor DNA were mixed with increasing amounts of normal tissue DNA (300 ng total) and were used as template molecules for PCR using chromosome 4:8 translocation-specific primers or chromosome 3 control primers (see Materials and Methods for additional information).
Fig. 4. Detection of tumor-specific rearrangements in plasma of cancer patients. (A) The identified chromosome 4:8 and 16 rearrangements were used to design PCR primers spanning breakpoints and to amplify rearranged DNA from tumor tissue and plasma from patients Hx402 and Hx403, respectively. A plasma sample from an unrelated healthy individual was used as a control for both rearrangements. (B) Plasma samples from patient Hx402 were analyzed at different time points using digital PCR to determine the fraction of genomic equivalents of plasma DNA containing the chromosome 4:8 rearrangement. The fraction of rearranged DNA at day 137 was 0.3%, consistent with residual metastatic lesions present in the remaining lobe of the liver.
