Description
Summary:RNA and DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is problematic due to chemical modifications and continued degradation over time. we compared quantity of RNA extracted by two different protocols from 14 recently archived from patients suffered from different cancers distributed among formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast cancer tissues ,thyroid cancer tissues and Cervical uterus carcinoma tissues by using Guanidine isothiocyanate (GTC)with phenol-chloroform (protocol-1) and Silica Gel Column(SGC) dependent on spin column purification-based ( protocol- 2), to assess, which technique is the most efficient and reproducible in terms of total yield and purity.  The results showed RNA isolated with SGC technique was characterized by higher mean concentration in a range (80-180) µg/ml ,but it  give positive results to 12 sample with degradation in comparison with RNA isolated by the (GTC) technique (protocol-1), comparison with total RNA extraction from human blood ( two distinguished bands ) .In this study comparative methods have been performed to analyze the efficiency for extraction and purification of Genomic DNA from six selective FFPE Tissues samples, revealing that the extraction of DNA by using  extraction  modified method give good result  with yield  higher mean concentration of DNA in a range (160-260) µg/ml.The lysis of FFPE Tissues  was enhanced by increased the concentration of proteinase K to30 mg\ml for 2 hour at 65C, which considered the best time for lysis tissues  and heated comparable with results that obtained from lysis tissues by using 20mg\ml for (24 -48 hours) at 55C
