Objective: To identify the differential expression profile of human novel gene UBAP1, a putative nasopharyngeal neoplasms (NPC) relate gene, in multiple cancers. Methods: We first present an EST approach for electronic Northern in silico to analyse expression patterns of UBAP1 in tumor and normal tissues. Full length cDNA of UBAP1 gene was taken as a 損robe?sequence, and a blastn search was performed against human EST Database. The Blastn report can be used to determine the fold differences between the pedigree ESTs in different libraries. Especially, the ESTs corresponding to UBAP1 present in fifteen tumor-derived libraries were compared against their normal counterpart to produce an electronic differential expression profile. Second, the distinct down-regulation of UBAP1 in meningioma, glioma, and colorectal tumor was confirmed by differentially RT-PCR analysis. Results: Database surveys indicated that UBAP1 gene was not only ubiquitously expressed in many normal tissues with various levels but also differentially expressed in different tumor tissues, especially down-regulated in multiple neoplastic tissues such as brain, breast, skin, colon, testis and uterus tumor tissues. Furthermore, differential RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that expression of UBAP1 was down-regulated or absent in 7 of 12 (58%) meningioma samples, 6 of 9 (66%) glioma and 7 of 11 (63%) colorectal tumor tissues respectively. Conclusion: we described a data mining procedure in silico that proved to be useful for theidentification of differential expression patterns of UBAP1. These findings could be valuable for the investigation of the mechanism the differential expression of UBAP1 gene and its significance in the progression of multiple cancers.
