摘　　要：cDNA microarray was used to compare the gene expression profiles of multiple myeloma cell line RPMI8226 24 h before and after treatment with arsenic trioxide. Two cDNA probes were prepared by mRNA reverse transcription of both arsenic trioxide-treated and untreated RPMI8226 cells. The probes were labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence dyes separately, hybridized with cDNA microarray representing 4096 different human genes, and scanned for fluorescence intensity. The differences in gene expression were calculated on the basis of the ratios of signal intensity of treated and untreated samples. The up- and down-regulated genes were screened through the analysis of gene expression ratios. The results showed that 273 genes were differentially altered at mRNA level, 121 genes were up-regulated and 152 were down-regulated. It is concluded that the treatment with arsenic trioxide can induce a variety of gene changes in RPMI8226 cell line. Many genes may be involved in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma. ALK-1 and TXNIP genes may play an important role in the apoptosis and partial differentiation of RPMI8226 cells.cDNA microarray was used to compare the gene expression profiles of multiple myeloma cell line RPMI8226 24 h before and after treatment with arsenic trioxide.
