Objective: To study the difference of gene expression and screen the carcinogenesis associated gene in gastric mucosa by oligonucleotide microarray. Methods: Using the U133A gene chip to detect the gene expression profile difference between pericancerous mucosa (mucosa inside nearly 2 cm by cancer) and normal section of gastric mucosa. Bioinformatics was used to analyze the detected result on their localization and function in chromosome. Results: (1) A total of 150 genes with a difference of more than 3 times in expression levels by comparing the pericancerous mucosa with normal gastric mucosa, of 130 genes were up-regulated (SLR>1.5), and 20 were down- regulated (SLR1.5), and other 10 genes were down-regulated (pericancerous SLR< –1.5). From their localization on the chromosome, there was simultaneously 71 genes appearance both in the pericancerous mucosa and in gastric cancer. The most one was 11 abnormal genes on the No. 19 chromosome. The next was No. 1, 2, 16 and 17 chromosomes which had 6 genes, respectively. It was not finding an abnormal gene on the No. 5, 14, 22 and Y chromosome. Conclusion: It suggested those genes may be related to the promotion in early gastric carcinogenesis and their progress. Four main groups (enzyme and enzyme regular, nucleic acid binding, signal transduction, protein binding) that associated gene’s abnormality be played an importance role in studying the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer. The No. 19 and No. 1, 2, 16, 17 chromosomes are important sites of the oncogene transformation.
