title: [Screening of hypercoagulability-related genes in aorta of hypertriglyceridemic rats].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to screen hypercoagulability-related genes in aorta of hypertriglyceridemic rats.
  
  
  METHODS
  Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to construct hypercoagulable rat cDNA subtractive library. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was applied to identify differentially expressed genes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Hypercoagulable rat cDNA subtractive library had been successfully constructed. Sequence analysis and homology searching of 20 clones showed that these clones represent 19 genes: 8 are known genes newly found to have a relationship to hypercoagulability and 11 are novel genes (ESTs) that had been deposited to GenBank. Three ESTs (HC002, HC057 and HC067) were confirmed to be over-expressed genes by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The constructed subtractive library is highly efficient and has laid a foundation for screening and cloning hypercoagulability-related novel genes of rat, HC002, HC057 and HC067 are probably related to hypercoagulability induced by hypertriglyceridemia.
