Transcription profiling of rat kidney progenitor tissue from embryo at E13

ABSTRACT: In this study we compared genes expressed in the unbudded portion of the Wolffian duct with the isolated ureteric bud to find genes novel to early kidney development. We used the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array to compare the unbudded tissues with the budded samples. We used microarrays to find novel genes regulating early kidney formation. Experiment Overall Design: Isolated ureteric buds (UB) were separated from the embryonic kidney after a light trypsinization step. Approximately 100 UBs were pooled together into each replicate. Approximately 100 isolated Wolffian ducts were dissected from E13 rat embryoes and pooled into each sample. Approximately 50 Wolffian ducts with attached mesodermal cells were pooled into each replicate.
