Genes that were differentially expressed between intracranial aneurysms and arterial samples were identified using significance analysis for microarrays, and the expression patterns of three randomly-selected genes were verified by real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. We identified 3 736 differentially-expressed genes out of the 47 000 assayed transcripts. A total of 179 genes showed a 〉10-fold change in expression between the aneurysms and the arterial samples. Genes involved in the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of vascular muscle cells, atherosclerosis, extracellular matrix disruption, and inflammatory reactions were associated with the formation of intracranial aneurysms. There were no significant differences in gene expression profile between unruptured and ruptured aneurysms.展开更多
Background:Different gene expression profiles are observed in intracranial aneurysm tissue. Understanding these genes and what regulates their expression will help us to understand intracranial aneurysm pathogenesis. ...Background:Different gene expression profiles are observed in intracranial aneurysm tissue. Understanding these genes and what regulates their expression will help us to understand intracranial aneurysm pathogenesis. We investigated whether differences in gene expression in intracranial aneurysms. Methods:Sixteen intracranial aneurysm tissues were compared with 16 matched samples from the superficial temporal artery as controls. We detected the gene expression profiles in these samples with the Human U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip. Results:A total of 2142 differentially expressed gene transcripts were detected based on the gene expression profile. Verification analysis showed that the VCAM1, MAGI2, PPP2R2B, PPP2R3A genes were associated with the occurrence and development of intracranial aneurysm. These genes mainly encode cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and ERK/JNK signaling pathways. Conclusion:Changes of genes expression involved in immune and inflammatory reactions, cell adhesion molecules may be associated with the development of aneurysms.展开更多
