Project description:Transcription profiling of rat left ventricular samples from 12-, 16- and 20-month old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) compared with age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats as controls
Project description:The right legs of 8 Brown-Norway male rats were denervated by a high sciatic nerve section in the hip region of the hind limb.Two months after denervation (6 months of age), extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles were removed from the operated legs. The EDL muscles from 8 age-matched non-operated rats served as innervated controls. Total RNA was isolated, labeled cDNA was prepared and hybridized to the Rat Atlas 1.2 Array II membranes (Clontech Laboratories, Palo Alto, CA). Keywords: other
Project description:Identification of targets of the protein disulfide reductase thioredoxin using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and thiol specific differential labeling with isotope-coded affinity tags (ICAT). Reduction of specific target disulfides is quantified by measuring ratios of cysteine residues labeled with the heavy (13C) and light (12C) ICAT reagents in peptides derived from tryptic digests of Trx-treated and non-treated samples. Keywords: protein, LC-MS/MS, ICAT
Project description:Label-free proteomics from colon tumors induced in C57BL/6J mice following exposure to azoxymethane plus dextran sodium sulfate. Normal colon was taken from age matched mice not exposed to AOM/DSS.
Project description:We investigated morphometric structure and gene expression by microarray analysis in a small diameter artery, branch of the saphenous artery (a resistance artery), in representative models of renin-angiotensin system (RAS)-dependent and glucocorticoid hypertension, using the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-induced hypertensive rat, respectively. Sixteen-week-old male Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and age-matched spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were used. Keywords: Comparison of global gene expression in resistance arteries of normotensive and genetically hypertensive rats and ACTH-treated rats.
