Transcription profiling by array of heart tissue from rats kept in normoxic or hypoxic conditions


ABSTRACT: Animal models of right ventricular hypertrophy. 48 male Wistar rats (10 weeks, weight approximately 290 grams) were divided into two groups of 24 animals. Each group was divided into subgroups of six animals. Four subgroups were maintained at hypobaric, hypoxic pressure. Four subgroups were maintained at normobaric, normoxic pressure and served as controls. The hypoxic group was placed in a hypobaric chamber, where the ambient pressure was continuously held at 500 mbar which created an oxygen tension of 10%. The temperature in the chamber was maintained at 21-22oC and the chamber was ventilated with air at approximately 45 min-1 through an inlet valve with the aid of a vacuum pump. The four subgroups were maintained in these hypoxic, hypobaric conditions for 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks and studied immediately after removal from the chamber. The hypoxic chamber was opened once a week for approximately 30-40 minutes for cleaning and supplying purposes. Age-matched controls were maintained in similar but normoxic, normobaric chambers. All animals were provided with chow and water ad libitum.

<h4>Background</h4>The present study investigated whether changes in gene expression in the right ventricle following pulmonary hypertension can be attributed to hypoxia or pressure loading.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>To distinguish hypoxia from pressure-induced alterations, a group of rats underwent banding of the pulmonary trunk (PTB), sham operation, or the rats were exposed to normoxia or chronic, hypobaric hypoxia. Pressure measurements were performed and the right ventricle was  ...[more]
