Gene Expression Analysis in an Animal Model of Cortical Dysplasia-IRRADIATED GROUP

ABSTRACT: Cortical Dysplasia (CD) is the histopathological substrate in almost half of all drug-resistant epilepsy. Little is known about the gene expression profile of CD. As such information may help target therapeutics more effectively, our aim was to perform a gene expression analysis of an animal model of cortical dysplasia induced by in utero irradiation. THIS SERIES (GSE13697) INCLUDES ALL (AND ONLY) EXPERIMENTAL SAMPLES--I.E. IRRADIATED/CORTICAL DYSPLASIA (9). Nine offspring from irradiated animals, and nine age-matched controls were sacrificed at post-natal day 60. Cortex and hippocampal regions were separated, and total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted using a commercially available kit (Qiagen®). RNA was then subjected to a gene expression analysis using an oligonucleotide microarray
