Changes of SHP-2 mRNA of thymus cells of mice with ? ray-induced leukemia / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the alterations of SHP-2 mRNA of thymus cells of mice with ? ray-induced leukemia. Methods BALB/c mice were randomly divided into canceration group, non-canceration group, and control group. The gene mutation and content of SHP-2 mRNA in thymus cells were detected by PCR-SSCP, DNA sequencing, and real time fluorescence quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR). Results PCR-SSCP showed there was gene mutation within 700～1 096 bp of SHP-2 mRNA in thymus cells of mice in the canceration group, which was not supported by DNA sequencing. No significant difference in change of SHP-2 mRNA content was found in thymus cells in canceration, non-canceration, and control groups. Conclusion There is translational abnormality of SHP-2 mRNA in thymus cells of mice with ? ray-induced leukemia, which is presented as translational enhancement.
