Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes between Chronic Hepatitis B and Asymptomatic Hepatitis B Virus Carrying in Children / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the difference of pathogenesis between chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and asymptomatic hepatitis B virus(HBV) carriers(ASCs) in children.Methods Subtracted libraries was constructed by suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) from peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) of two groups, beta-2-microglobulin (?_2-MG) was screened as one of differentially expressed genes. Serum was collected from children with CHB and ASCs, the differential expression of ?_2-MG was confirmed by enzyme immunoassay.Results Subtractive libraries were constructed successfully, the differentially expression of ?_2-MG and lactroferrin were up-regulated in CHB children.And the differentially expression of ?_2-MG on the level of protein was confirmed.Conclusion The up-regulation of ?_2-MG in CHB children is involved in the pathogenesis mechanisms.
