To identify genes that were altered by spinal cord injury (SCI), we used complementary DNA microarray consisting 1176 rat genes. Rats were subjected to contusive injury of the thoracic spinal cord. Sham animals received only a laminectomy. Twenty-four hours later, spinal cord was dissected out, a P-32 labeled probe was prepared and hybridized to the microarray. We identified three genes that showed a greater than 2-fold increase in SCI tissue, heat shock 27-kDa protein, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 and epidermal fatty acid-binding protein. Seven genes, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase related protein, phospholipase C delta 4, plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase isoform 2, G-protein G(O) alpha subunit, GABA transporter 3, and neuroendrocrine protein 7132 were downregulated greater than 50% in SCI tissue. Changes in expression of these genes were confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. These genes may play a role in the response to tissue damage or repair following SCI.
