چکیده

The identification of embryo-specific genes would provide insights into early embryonic development. However, the current methods employed to identify the genes that are expressed at a specific developmental stage are labor intensive and suffer from high rates of false positives. Here we employed a new and accurate reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology that involves annealing control primers (ACPs) to identify the genes that are specifically or prominently expressed in bovine early blastocysts and hatched blastocysts produced in vitro. Using these techniques, a total of nine expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of genes that were differentially expressed in hatched blastocysts, as compared to blastocyst embryos, were cloned and sequenced. The cloned genes or ESTs (C1-C9) all exhibited significant sequence similarity with known bovine genes (99-100%; FTL, RPS12, LAPTM4a, and RPL12) or ESTs (80-94%; AIBP, CULLIN-1, HDLP, COX5a, and RECS1) of other species. As revealed by real time RT-PCR, these genes were regulated upstream in the hatched blastocyst stage during early implantation. These results suggest that this new, PCR-based differential display RT-PCR technique is a very useful tool for the identification of stage-specific genes of preimplantation embryos.

Identification of drought induced differentially expressed genes in barley leaves using the annealing control-primer-based GeneFishing technique

In the present study, we have used an annealing-control-primer (ACP)-based differential display reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method to identify drought-stress-induced differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in barley leaves. Using 120 ACPs, a total of 12 up-regulated and 3 down-regulated genes were identified and sequenced. Temporal expression patterns of the 15 upor d...

Annealing control primer system for identification of differentially expressed genes on agarose gels.

We developed GeneFishing technology, an improved method for the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using our novel annealing control primer (ACP) system. Because of high annealing specificity during PCR using the ACP system, the application of the ACP to DEG discovery generates reproducible, authentic, and long (100 bp to 2 kb) PCR products that are detectable on agarose ge...

Identification of key genes and pathways involved in vitiligo vulgaris by gene network analysis

Background and Aim: Vitiligo vulgaris is an acquired, chronic skin and hair condition characterized clinically by loss of melanin, which, if untreated, is typically progressive and irreversible. The aim of the present study was to identify potential genes involved in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Methods: One dataset of mRNA expression in patients with vitiligo (GSE65127) were obtained from ...
