DNA RNA Proteins
Main question in modern biomedical researchUnderstanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying function or dysfunction (pathological changes) on a molecular, cellular or tissue level
Challenge in microscopy (limited molecular biology tools)Identify structures or molecules and study their function by labeling with marker molecules e.g. GFP (living cells), immuno-histochemical stain (histological samples)
Challenges downstream to microscopy Apply the full toolbox of molecular biology for DNA, RNA and protein analysis to defined cellular structures or defined tissue areas seen in the microscope to investigate molecular function (e.g. PCR, RT-PCR, DNA-Fingerprinting, MALDI)
I. Motivation
Why Microdissection & Micromanipulation?
Prerequisits and instrumental challenges
… Separate the areas or interest from any unwanted surrounding material (i.e. contamination by surrounding tissue) with a high spatial resolution on a microscopic level
… Transport the material into reaction tubes for further downstream analysis (DNA, RNA, Protein) and avoid any potential contamination in this process
Decrease the background noise level in the downstream analysis

Idea:• Comparison of genetic pattern:
native against laser microdissected cells
• Genetic analysis done with CGH (Comparitive Genomic Hybridization)
-> allows you to easily detect genetical differences
• Used cell line: HCT116 (Colon Cancer Cell line)-> is described in different publications as absolutely
genetically stable with the same genetic pattern -> genetic changes in chromosome 8, 10, 17 & Y
Expected result:
After several laser microdissection steps and followed genetic analysis, After several laser microdissection steps and followed genetic analysis, no change in the genetic pattern should occurno change in the genetic pattern should occur
