ABSTRACT
Objective To screen and clone the genes related to stilbene glucosides biosynthesis in Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. Methods The differentially expressed genes in the root, stem and leaf of Polygonum multiflorum which have different contents of stilbene glucosides were screened by differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR). After pMD19-T carrier was inserted into the obtained differential genes for sequencing and comparison, the gene function was analyzed. Results Fifty-one differentially expressed cDNA fragments were found. Of them, 9 were used for the identification by semi-quantitative PCR. The identification results presented 3 positive fragments, one fragment was specifically expressed in the stem and leaf of Polygon-um multiflorum Thunb., sharing high homology with glycine dehydrogenase, and 2 were specifically expressed in the root of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., having high homology with enoyl-CoA hydratase and aminopeptidase N, respectively. Conclusion Three homologous gene sequences obtained through DDRT-PCR provide a basis for the further study of biosynthetic pathway of stilbene glucoside from Polygonum multiflorum Thunb..
ABSTRACT
Objective:Differential expression analysis and cloning aged related genes of mouse thymus Methods:Different expressions of thymus mRNAs from 1 and 10 month old mouse were analyzed by DDRT PCR and different expression sequence tags (ESTs) were obtained One EST that represented high expressed level in one month mouse thymus was probed to screen mouse thymus cDNA library One 827 bp cDNA fragment was obtained and was extended to 1 406 bp by PCR Results:Homology analysis showed that mt22 1406 contained one 438AA coding region and showed high similarity with human elongation factor1?(EF1?) The Genbank accession number is BE241062 Conclusion:Cloning one gene related with mouse thymus aging
ABSTRACT
Chinese materia medica (CMM) has double complexity in bioactive ingredient and its mechanism. It is difficult to explain by the modern biomedicine theory So it seriously restricts the modernization of CMM The modern CMM should have the high quality standard to meet the needs of international standard It can be guaranteed by spreading the GAP for Chinese medicinal materials and GMP for standard production The mechanism depends on using the DNA microarray to set up “the gene expression difference chart”, to study on the combination of CMM and gene expression difference chart Meanwhile, we can establish a totally new method of screening modern CMM based on the gene expression difference chart, it can really make the modernization and internationalization of CMM
