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. The rat whole brains derived from normotensive WKY, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP) wereã??examined. Each strain was run in triplicate.
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:5 strains of rat, WKY, spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and 3 reciprocal congenic strains (WconSA, SconSA and SISA) were used to generate expression data across the genome using the Affymetrix rat genome chip set comprising the 230 A and 230 B chips. 5 animals from each strain were used. Expression data was determined for 2 ages: 6 week and 24 week with whole kidney RNA.
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 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).

Project description:Hypertension remains a poorly understood condition, and the understanding of the sympathetic nervous systems role in this disease remains even more limited. In this study, RNA-sequencing is used to identify transcriptomal differences in the sympathetic stellate ganglia between the 16-week-old normotensive wistar strain and the spontaneously hypertensive rat strain.This dataset should allow for further molecular characterisation of hypertensive changes in a cardiac-innervating sympathetic ganglion.
