Profile of gene differential expression in chronic gastritis with deficiency of spleen-QI patients / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM:To investigate a profile of gene differential expression in deficiency of spleen-QI syndrome(DSQ)patients.METHODS:4 DSQ patients and 4 healthy volunteers were selected.The gastric mucosa was taken to extract total RNA.The matched samples were hybridized on the gene chip.The fluorescent signals were scanned,the ratio of fluorescent value,the analysis of bioinformatics and t-test were also applied.Related genes were detected by real-time quantitated PCR.RESULTS:Between two groups,54 genes differentially expressed and 72.2% of them were down regulated.45 were genes about metabolism of nutrient substance and immunological regulation,and 71.1% were down regulated.4 had significant difference.Of 5 applied by real-time PCR,4 accorded with the results of the gene chip.CONCLUSION:The differentially expressed genes of DSQ patients are significantly down regulated,especially the genes involved in metabolism of nutrient substance and immunological regulation.
