AIM: To further elucidate the possible molecular biological activity of wild type K-ras2 gene by detecting changes in wild type K-ras2 gene-induced gene-expression profiles of colon carcinoma cells using cDNA microarray techniques. METHODS: Total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood of health volunteers. Reverse transcription of RNA and polymerase chain reaction were used to synthesize wild type K-ras2 cDNA. K-ras2 cDNA fragment was cloned into a T easy vector and sequenced. A eukaryotic expression vector pCI-neo-K-ras2 was constructed and transfected to Caco2 cell line using the liposome method. Finally, mRNA was isolated, reverse-transcribed to cDNA from pCI-neo-K-ras2 or pCI-neo blank vector-transfected Caco cells, and analyzed by cDNA microarray assay. RESULTS: Restriction enzyme analysis and DNA sequencing verified that the constructed expression vector was accurate. High-quality RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed to cDNA for microarray assay. Among the 135 genes, the expression was up-regulated in 24 and down-regulated in 121. All these differentially expressed genes were related to cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and signal transduction. CONCLUSION: Differentially expressed genes can be successfully screened from wild type K-ras2-transfected colon carcinoma cells using microarray techniques. The results of our study suggest that wild type K-ras2 is related to the negative regulation of cell proliferation, metabolism and transcriptional control, and provide new clues to the further elucidation of its possible biological activity.
