| Abstract |
INTRODUCTION:The use of cytological specimens in cancer genome medicine has garnered considerable attention, but the long-term quality of nucleic acids from unstained specimens remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of nucleic acids extracted from unstained specimens fixed with 95% ethanol or spray fixation over varying durations. METHODS:Two lung cancer cell lines were prepared using the auto-smear method and fixed with 95% ethanol, and spray-fixed specimens were stored for 30 min, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. DNA was extracted using a DNA extraction kit, and quality was assessed using agarose gel electrophoresis and PCR. RESULTS:Nucleic acids extracted from unstained specimens showed no fragmentation after 6 months of fixation and were amplifiable by PCR, regardless of the fixation method. CONCLUSION:Nucleic acids extracted from unstained specimens preserved high quality over 6 months, suggesting that such specimens are suitable for genetic testing. This finding has significant implications for the long-term storage and clinical application of cytological specimens in cancer genome medicine. |
