| Abstract: | AIM: To isolate and clone the vincristine-resistine-relatedgenes in gastric cancer SGC7901 cell line and to clarify themultidrug-resistant molecular mechanism of gastric cancercells.METHODS: The modified differential-display polymerasechain reaction (DD-PCR) was used to examine thedifferences in the mRNA composition of Vincristine-resistantgastric cancer SGC 7901 cells (SGC7901/VCR), induced byvincristine sulfate versus SGC7901cells. The differentiallyexpressed cDNA fragments were confirmed byreverseNorthern analysis, sequencing, BLAST analysis andNorthern bolt analysis.RESULTS: DD-PCR identified that 54 cDNA fragments werepreferentially expressed in SGC 7901/VCR cells. When thesecDNA fragments were analyzed by reverseNorthern blot, 20were reproducibly expressed at a high level in SGC7901/VCR. Sequencing and BLAST analysis revealed that sevenof the genes were known genes: ADP-ribosylation factor 4,cytochrorne oxidase subunit Ⅱ, Ss-A/Ro ribonucleoprteinautoantigen 60kd subunit, ribosomal protein S13, galaectin-8 gene, oligophrenin 1 mRNA, and ribosomal protein L23mRNA; and thirteen of the genes were unknown genes. Thelength and abundance of the four unknown genes mRNAwere further confirmed by Northern blot analysis.CONCLUSION: The twenty differential known and unknowngenes may be related to the vincristine-resistant mechanismin human gastric cancer SGC7901 cell line. |
