ABSTRACT
Objective:
To clone a novel gene and explore its expression patterns in tissues and cells,so as to find its role in the process of encephalopathy in DS.Methods:
On the base of our previous microarray's result together with the tissue type,we chose EST AI480014 to carry out RACE,then analyzed its expression profiles in liver,spleen,kidney,heart,brain by multi-tissues Northern blot,after that semi-quantitive RT-PCR was used to reexamine the expression profiles.Furthermore,we used ISH to find whether aim gene expressed in neuroglial cells cultured in vitro.Finally we performed semi-quantitive RT-PCR to explore whether it expressed differently between DS and normal.Results:
We gained a 682 bp new cDNA fragment(DQ275636)which expressed in all the tissues examined and had no alternative splices in them.It expressed highly in brain especially in frontal lobe and hippocampus.According to the ISH result we convinced that it expressed in neuroglial cells.Using bioinformatics we mapped DQ275636 to chromosome 5q14.Conclusion:
We have obtained a new gene fragment based on the(above) results.According to its expression character and tissue type,it can be suggested that this gene has a probable role in the process of encephalopathy in DS.
