ABSTRACT
Objective To screen the tumor metastasis related differentially expressed genes in hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC)cells 7402 after stable transfection with FATE/BJ‐HCC‐2 gene .Methods Total RNA was extracted from FATE/BJ–HCC‐2‐transfected HCC(5B4)cells and empty vector control (Mock)cells respectively .Differentially expressed genes were obtained using cDNA microarray .Results Compared with Mock cells ,a total of 1 694 differentially expressed genes were screened out in 5B4 cells ,the 11 gene expressions had obvious differences ,among which the expression amounts in 7 genes were significantly in‐creased ,including MMP‐1 ,PTGS2 ,FN ,CA9 ,IL‐8 ,ILK and Areg .The fold changes were 81 .80 ,49 .86 ,11 .30 ,16 .26 ,3 .48 ,2 .79 and 2 .20 ,respectively .The expression amounts in 4 genes were significantly decreased ,including E‐cadherin ,E‐cadherin , RHOBTB3 ,ALPP and HLA‐DRB4 .The fold changes were -5 .42 ,-2 .23 ,-5 .93 and -8 .03 ,respectively .Conclusion Adopting gene microarray technology can carefully screen the differentially expressed genes of FATE/BJ‐HCC‐2 involved HCC metastasis ,its final goal is to lay a solid theoretical foundation for studying the HCC metastasis mechanism .
