To study on invasion and metastasis-associated genes of lung cancer related with NM23-H1 gene.Human gene expression chip based on the subtracted cDNA libraries was constructed. After microarray hybridization, clones sequencing, sequence homology search, the information of differently expressed genes in human large cell lung cancer cell line of L9981 and L9981-nm23-H1 were obtained and then further confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR.Gene expression profiling chips of differently expressed genes in human large cell lung cancer cell line L9981 and L9981-nm23-H1 were successfully constructed. After microarray hybridization, sequence homology search, 19 differentially expressed genes were observed. After real-time quantitative PCR evaluation, we found that the mRNA of 8 genes including PSMA7, SBDS, ODC1, YARS, CSDA, PTP4A1, SHPRH and TOMM7 was up-regulated in the cell line of L9981 after transfected with NM23-H1 gene, whereas the mRNA of PKM2 and GMNN was down-regulated.NM23-H1 gene may be the upstream regulator of metastasis-associated genes, which can regulate the downstream genes to achieve a series of lung cancer metastatic potential.
