Construction of subtracted cDNA library of diferentially expressed genes of multidrug resistant tubercle bacillus by suppression subtracted hybridization
Objective:To build the subtracted cDNA library of differentially expressed genes of multidrug-resistant tubercle bacillus(MDR-TB)and to further discuss the molecular mechanism of MDR-TB. Methods:Tester was MDR-TB and Driver was sensitive tu-berculosis. Suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH) and T/A cloning technology were done to build the subtracted cDNA library of differentially expressed genes of MDR-TB. Results:The subtracted cDNA library of differentially expressed genes of MDR-TB was successfully built and 113 differentially expressed cDNA fragements of MDR-TB were obtained. Sequencing and homology analysis showed that 5 of them were novel cDNA sequences and 5 sequenced genes were reported to be related with MDR in TB. Conclusions:SSH is an effective method for screening new function genes. Many genes both known and unknown are in correlation with MDR in TB. Discovery of these genes provides a solid foundation for the explanation of MDR mechanism in TB.
