| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, I developed a new method for combined immunohistochemical and molecular biological analyses at the cellular-scale by laser capture microdissection (LCM) using formalin- or paraformaldehyde (PFA)-fixed tissues that were routinely used in histopathological examinations in clinical medicine.
I optimized immunohistochemical method for LCM and molecular biological analysis using tissue sections coated with a water-soluble polymer that improved cell identification by inhibiting cell shrinkage during drying process of sections. I also established an efficient RNA extraction method that was sequential treatment of isolated specimens by LCM with de-crosslinking, elimination of genomic DNA and extraction of RNA in the same one-tube. These approaches made it possible to detect expressed genes (mRNAs) from 5 cells isolated from PFA-fixed sections of mouse brain by LCM.
