Project description:Transcription profiling of mouse oocytes treated with 20 MPa hydrostatic pressure for 60 minutes at 37 °C comparing control oocytes kept under identical conditions as pressure treated ones, except HHP treatment.
Project description:Intraocular pressure was elevated through episkleral vein occlusion by thermic cauterization of SD rats. Animals were further sacrificed after different periods of elevated IOP and the retinal proteins were investigated for alterations regarding the relative protein level in this experimental model of glaucoma.

Project description:Transcription profiling of mouse oocytes treated with 20 MPa hydrostatic pressure for 60 minutes at 37 °C comparing control oocytes kept under identical conditions as pressure treated ones, except HHP treatment. One-condition experiment, HP treated oocytes vs. Control oocytes. Biological replicates: 4 HP treated replicates, 4 control replicates.
Project description:Pharmacological activation of the transcription factor PPAR gamma lowers blood pressure and improves glucose tolerance in humans. In contrast, naturally occurring mutations (e.g., P467L, V290M) in the ligand binding domain of PPAR gamma in humans leads to severe insulin resistance and early-onset hypertension. Experimental evidence, including whole genome expression profiling, suggests that these mutant versions of PPAR gamma act in a dominant negative manner. Because PPAR gamma is expressed in a variety of cell types and tissues, we generated a transgenic mouse model (SP467L) specifically targeting dominant negative PPAR gamma to the vascular smooth muscle cells in order to determine the action of PPAR gamma in the blood vessel independent of its systemic metabolic actions. In the data set provided herein, we examined the gene expression profile in mesenteric vessels from SP467L mice and their control littermates using the Affymetrix mouse exon 1.0 ST array.
