50% mutant fraction in mtDNA |
96 laser capture microdissection (LCMD) samples were taken from numerous 12-micrometer tumor slices. Each sample was analyzed for known somatic mtDNA mutation. Some of the samples had two mtDNA mutations, thus both were analyzed in the LCMD samples. A total of 9504 laser capture microdissection samples was collected from these tissues.
Based on the mutant fraction found in each LCMD sample a random distribution of 21 cells (mutated and non-mutated) was given X, Y, Z coordinates in the LCMD sample volume. For detailed description follow this LINK.
Isosurfaces depict either mutated or non-mutated cell distribution within the sample volume. The sampling volume was X = 1.5mm, Y = 2.2mm, and Z depending on the tissue thickness, ranging from 0.1mm up to 0.8mm. Illustration of z-axis sampling and tissue support (membrane or glass slide) are shown in this LINK.

Alternative display:
An alternative way of presenting these data is by creating isosurfaces for the mutant fractions found in each LCMD sample. As an example, all isosurfaces of mutant fractions from 0% and up to 100% (in 5% point increments) can be found for the samples #5 testicular cancer and #231 lymph node (bladder cancer). Please note that when the isosurface is created for each mutant fraction the intermediate mutant fractions are not part of the interpolation. Furthermore, a lower resolution was also used as compared to the "spread" of 21 theoretical cells in the LCMD volume.
Isosurface's was created in Matlab with the following script:
tx=90:18:1350
ty=90:18:2070
tz=-564:6:0
[xg,yg,zg] = meshgrid(tx,ty,tz);
F.Method = 'natural';
F = TriScatteredInterp(x, y, z, e);
eg = F(xg,yg,zg);
fv=isosurface(xg,yg,zg,eg,MF);
MF=[0%, 5%. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100%]
