چکیده

Suppression subtractive hybridization is very effective to enrich differentially expressed genes in two different tissues or cells. We therefore used the technique to identify characteristic genes expressed in rat knee joint articular cartilage as compared to rat costal cartilage. In this study, we revealed that several genes were enriched in a subtracted articular cartilage cDNA library. The most enriched gene is lubricin that is a putative key molecule for joint lubrication. The second gene is milk fat globule epidermal growth factor (EGF) factor 8, MFG-E8 whose expression has never been observed in cartilage. Other enriched genes are known to be expressed in cartilage, however their differential expressions in cartilages have not been necessarily common. The preferential expression of characteristic genes in articular cartilage would provide unique properties to the tissue. Our findings will provide a new view of articular cartilage.

Identification of differentially expressed genes in carp rods and cones

PURPOSE Rods and cones differ in their photoresponse characteristics, morphology, and susceptibilities to certain diseases. To contribute to the studies at the molecular level of these differences, we tried to identify genes expressed preferentially in rods or cones. METHODS From purified carp rods and cones, we extracted their RNA and obtained corresponding cDNA pools (rod cDNA and cone cDNA...

Down-regulated HS6ST2 in osteoarthritis and Kashin-Beck disease inhibits cell viability and influences expression of the genes relevant to aggrecan metabolism of human chondrocytes.

OBJECTIVE Primary OA and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) show similar pathological changes in articular cartilage. The objective was to screen differentially expressed genes between OA and normal cartilage, confirm the candidate gene expression among OA, KBD and normal cartilage, and then clarify its role in vitro. METHODS Differentially expressed genes in OA cartilage were screened by suppression ...

Differential screening of a subtracted cDNA library: a method to search for genes preferentially expressed in multiple tissues.

We have developed a new strategy for differential screening of genes that are expressed in two or more tissues, and have used it to identify genes that are preferentially expressed in both testis and ovary. In this approach, testis-specific cDNAs were first generated using the suppression subtractive hybridization technique, cloned and arrayed in microplates. The inserts from the subtracted tes...

Suppression Subtractive Hybridization in Penaeid Prawns: An Approach in Identifying Diseases and Differentially Expressed Genes

Alteration in gene transcripts is related to a wide spectrum of physiological and pathological changes in cells. Therefore, the identification of differential gene expression can be used to understand biological processes at a molecular level [1-4]. Various techniques such as Expressed Sequence Tags (EST), differential display, Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE), cDNA microarray, and sub...

Study of Expression Level of Cartilage Genes in Rat Articular Chondrocyte Monolayer and 3D Cultures using Real Time PCR

Purpose: to compare the expression level of certain genes related to cartilage and non-cartilage tissues at monolayer and alginate cultures derived from rat articular cartilage. Materials and Methods: Articular cartilage was harvested from knee joints of 10 male rats and was digested using enzymatic solution consisting of 0.2% collagenase I and 0.1% pronase. Released chondrocyte were then plate...
