Aims: To compare different gene expression patterns between squamous cell cervical carcinoma (SCC) and normal cervical tissue in Korean women and to identify those genes that are specifically or predominantly expressed in SCC by employing annealing control primer (ACP)-based GeneFishing polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Materials and methods: Cervical cancer specimens were obtained from patients enrolled at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kang Nam St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic University of Korea. We used a common reference that was mixed with an equal amount of RNA extracted from patients without cervical cancer. The profiles of expressed genes were compared between the SCC and normal cervix identified using GeneFishing differentially expressed gene kits, screened by a BLAST search, and confirmed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Results: Almost 100 differentially expressed genes were identified in the control and SCC samples. Using 60 arbitrary ACPs, 50 differentially expressed genes were identified, and 30 up-regulated and 20 down-regulated expressed genes were sequenced. Among 50 clones selected by ACP-based GeneFishing PCR, six genes with different expression patterns were determined and confirmed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The functional roles of two up-regulated genes, fibrillarin and calgranulin A, and one down-regulated gene, clusterin, were previously identified. However, the functional roles of two up-regulated genes and one down-regulated gene were not identified. Conclusion: We identified distinctive gene expression profiles in Korean women with SCC using ACP-based GeneFishing PCR.
