Objective To screen compounds or drugs can affect the hypoxia induced-gene expression of retinal vascular endothelial cell based on gene expression microarrays and connectivity map (CMAP) technology. Methods Totally 326 up-regulated and down-regulated genes of hypoxic human embryonic retinal microvascular endothelial cells minduced by cobalt chloride in the previous study were converted into query signature format documents. Gene profile of the disease characteristics was then compared with that of control in CMAP website database, positive and negative compounds related to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) were finally screened out. Results 44 and 18 compounds or drugs have positive and negative relationship with ROP respectively by searching CMAP database with differentially expressed genes. Ciclopirox, cobalt chloride, gossypol and withaferin A have positive relationship with ROP. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate, harmalol, naringin and probenecid have a negative effect on ROP. Conclusions Ciclopirox, cobalt chloride, gossypol and withaferin A have a positive effect on ROP. However, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, harmalol, naringin and probenecid have a negative effect.
