RESUMO
To explore differentially expressed genes in leukemia gene expression profile and identify main related genes in acute leukemia, gene expression profiles were analyzed in bone marrow/leucopheresis peripheral blood stem cells samples from 9 acute leukemia patients and their sibling donors with the use of oligonucleotide microarrays. 163 reported leukemia-related genes were involved in the study. The oligonucleotide primers were designed, synthesized and spotted on the chemical-material-coated-glass plates in array. The total RNAs were isolated from nine patients' bone marrow or leucopheresis peripheral blood cells and from nine their sibling donors peripheral blood stem cells treated by G-CSF, then collected by CS-3000 cell selection machine, and were reversely transcribed to cDNAs with the incorporations of fluorescent dUTP. The mixed probes were then hybridized to the oligonucleotide microarray. The results showed that in four patient/donor pairs with B-ALL, 5 up-regulated (RIZ, STK-1, T-cell leukemia/lymphoma 1A, Cbp/p300, Op18) and 1 down-regulated genes (hematopoietic proteoglycan core protein) were identified; In five patient/donor pairs with AML-M(4) and AML-M(5), 6 up-regulated (STAT5B, ligand p62 for the Lck SH2, CST3, LTC4S, myeloid leukemia factor 2 and epb72) and 1 down-regulated genes (CCR5) were identified. In conclusion, on the basis of distinguishing study of specific genetic related recipient/sibling donor pairs, screening leukemia-related genes with oligonucleotide microarrays, a set of 13 up-regulated or down-regulated genes among 163 leukemia-related genes has been identified. The result has further confirmed that above genes play critical role in the molecular mechanism of acute leukemia.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct replication selective adenovirus AdhepE1 targeting human melanoma and observe its specific killing of human melanoma cells in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Adenovirus E1 region, the murine tyrosinase promoter and enhancer DNA sequences were acquired respectively by PCR cloning. The shuttle plasmid of replication-selective adenovirus targeting human melanoma was constructed by DNA recombination. Replication-selective adenovirus AdhepE1 was generated by homologous recombination. The human melanoma cell line SK-Mel-1 and hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 were attacked separately by lower dose of AdhepE1. Change of cell morphology was observed and the surviving cells were calculated. The expression of E1A was assayed by RT-PCR to verify the specific-replication of AdhepE1.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Replication selective adenovirus AdhepE1 targeting human melanoma was acquired by PCR. Human melanoma cell line SK-Mel-1 was sensitive to oncolytic killing of AdhepE1 whereas HepG2 was little responsive. The results of RT-PCR suggested that AdhepE1 replicated specifically in human melanoma cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>AdhepE1 can selectively kill human melanoma cells.</p>
