Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression of interleukin-7 in human liver and stomach,identify the splice variants of IL-7.Methods:Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used for investigating the expression of IL-7.According to IL-7 gene cDNA,the primers were designed and synthesized,then the splice variants of IL-7 in human cancer tissues was identify,cloned into vector and sequenced.Results:The results showed that(1)the expression of IL-7 mRNA was nearly equal between human liver and stomach,(2)two new bands of IL-7 was obtained from liver cancer and gastric carcinoma,one lacks exon 4,another exon 5.Conclusion:IL-7 gene is expressed highly in both human liver and stomach.In addition,human liver cancer and gastric carcinoma can produce splicing variants of IL-7 by alternative splicing.
