AIM: To Screen and identify differentially expressed genes that involved in apoptosis model in rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). METHODS : The rat cerebellar granule neurons were isolated and primarily cultured. Fluorescent differential display RT- PCR (FDD RT- PCR) was performed to screen differentially expressed ESTs in the apoptosis model of primarily cultured rat CGNs. ESTs were subcloned into pGEM - T Easy^TM vector and then sequenced. Alignment assay in non - redunant database was applied for encoding information. Reverse Northern blotting was used to appraise the results from DDRT - PCR. RESULTS: 164 pieces of differentially expressed ESTs were obtained by FDDRT - PCR. 17 of them were subcloned and sequenced. 5 ESTs of 17 were confirmed to be positive results by reverse Northern blotting. CONCLUSION: DD- PCR is a rapid, simple -operation and sensitive method for screening differentially expressed genes, which would contribute to the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis/survive of CGNs.
