Results: Comparing with model group, among the differentially expressed genes being twofold and above, the up-regulated and the down-regulated were 20 and 70 in EA-HT group, 18 and 26 in EA-SI group, and 14 and 20 in EA-LU group separately. Few same genes with the same differential expression were found among the three EA groups.
Conclusion: There is exactly a molecular basis in the correlation between heart meridian and the heart, and EA of heart meridian, small intestine meridian and lung meridian have their own special signaling pathway.
Key Words: differentially expressed genes, relatively specific connection, heart meridian and heart
