Objective: To identify a cDNA clone from the subtracted library of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Suppression subtractive hybridization was used to isolated a panel of genes that are differentially expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma as compared with cirrhotic liver. T/A cloning method was used to construct a subtracted cDNA library. DNA sequencing analysis and Northern blot analysis were also utilized. Results: The cloned cDNA is 787 nucleotides in length and contains an open reading frame of 230 amino acids, which is a cDNA fragment of reported human fibrinogen, gamma polypeptide (FGG). Northern analysis revealed that this gene was overexpressed in two hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, SMMC-7721 and HepG2. Conclusion: Sequence identity proved the cDNA clone fragment of as FGG gene. Differential expression of the cDNA fragment in HCC suggested that FGG is related to HCC, indicating a new clue for developing a novel diagnostic and prognostic marker.
