Project description:We report 10x Genomics based single-cell sequencing of the dissociated Wistar and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) stellate ganglia at 5-6 weeks of age.
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify sex-specific hepatic genes in Zucker spontaneously hypertensive fatty rats (ZSF1), a rat model for diabetic nephropathy.
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.
Project description:The objective of this study was to profile circular RNAs (circRNAs) in rat genetic models of cardiovascular and renal disease. Renal profiles were obtained from the Dahl Salt-Sensitive rat (S), the Dahl Salt-Resistant rat (R), the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) and the Wistar Kyoto rat (WKY).

Project description:We examined gene expression profiles in the rat kidneys using genome-wide microarray technology, and determined gene expression profiles in 3 rat strains: normotensive WKY, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP). To identify candidate genes involved in the genesis of hypertension in the SHR strains, we compared the gene expression levels at 3 and 6 weeks of age, isolated 407 genes showing a more than 4-fold increase or a less than 1/4-fold decrease. The rat kidneys derived from normotensive WKY, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP) were examined. Each strain was run in triplicate.
Project description:We examined gene expression profiles in the rat adrenal glands using genome-wide microarray technology, and determined gene expression profiles in 3 rat strains: normotensive WKY, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP). To identify candidate genes involved in the genesis of hypertension in the SHR strains, we compared the gene expression levels at 3 and 6 weeks of age, isolated 407 genes showing a more than 4-fold increase or a less than 1/4-fold decrease.

Project description:We examined gene expression profiles in the rat whole brains using genome-wide microarray technology, and determined gene expression profiles in 3 rat strains: normotensive WKY, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP). To identify candidate genes involved in the genesis of hypertension in the SHR strains, we compared the gene expression levels at 3 and 6 weeks of age, isolated 407 genes showing a more than 4-fold increase or a less than 1/4-fold decrease.

Project description:Despite remarkable progress made in human genome-wide association studies, there remains a substantial gap between statistical evidence for genetic association and functional comprehension of the underlying mechanisms. To bridge the gap, we perform integrative genomic analysis of blood pressure and related phenotypes in the spontaneously hypertensive rat, an animal model of essential hypertension, searching causal genes and causal pathways. We identify 28 potential target genes, including rat homologs of human transcriptome-wide association study loci, for the tested traits and provide experimental evidence supporting the presence of key disease pathways and core disease-related gene loci in the genetic architecture of hypertension.
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. Experiment Overall Design: There were 3 experimental groups: Group 1: 16-week male Wistar-Kyoto rats; Group 2: 16-week male Wistar-Kyoto rats treated with ACTH (0.1mg/kg/day) subcutaneously, for 4 weeks prior to sampling (i.e. during weeks 12-16 of life) ; Group3: 16-week male SHR (spontaneously hypertensive) rats. There were 3 replicate hybridizations in each experimental group. Due to the low yield of total RNA obtained from the arterial sections, each replicate was composed of RNA pooled from 2-3 different rats.
