Project description:Primary cardiac myocytes isolated from neonatal Wistar rats were cultured and simulated ischemia/reperfusion injury were conducted on them in the presence or absence of decorin. Decorin is a small leucin-rich proteoglycan, which has a cardiocytoprotective effect. The underlaying mechanism of this cardiocytoprotective phenomenon is unknown, therefore our aim was to investigate the changes in the mRNA expression between the decorin (3nM) treated and vehicle-treated control cells.
Project description:The heart of late pregnant (LP) rodents is more prone to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury compared to non-pregnant rodents. We hypothesized that Intralipid (ITLD) protects the heart in LP rodents against I/R injury. We performed genome-wide expression profiling to identify the underlying mechanisms. Female LP rat hearts were subjected to ischemia followed by reperfusion with vehicle or ITLD (one bolus of 5mg/kg).
Project description:characterization of fibrinogen expression in the kidney, excretion in the urine following kidney damage and evaluating the therapeutic potential of fibrinogen in acute kidney injury. Total RNA was isolated of renal cortex and medulla from rats subjected to 20 min of bilateral ischemia followed by 6, 24 120, hr of reperfusion compared to sham rats.

Project description:To identify the role of mRNA during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in mice, we have employed high-throughput sequencing to detect mRNA expression. Samples were collected from the control group and the ischemia reperfusion groups , with 5 samples per group. The candidate mRNA that may affect the process of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion was screened by comparing the ischemia-reperfusion group and the control group.
Project description:Transgenic mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) have substantially increased tolerance towards ischemia/reperfusion injury. In the transgenic mouse model, we found that CTGF induces expression of severeal genes putatively involved in cardioprotection. The purpose of this study was to determine gene expression in cardiac myocytes stimulated with purified, recombinant CTGF, comparing unstimulated and stimulated samples. The cytoprotective actions of CTGF was recflected in the transcriptome of CTGF-stimulated cardiac myocytes. Gene ontology analysis revealed that genes included under the terms anti-apoptosis, response to wounding, and response to stress were significantly overrepresented in cardiac myocytes exposed to CTGF. Serveral of the most higly up-regulated genes have previously been reported to exert cardioprotective actions and increase tolerance towards ischemia/reperfusion injury. Primary, adult cardiac myocytes were cultured in the absence (n=6) or presence (n=6) of 200 nmol/L recombinant CTGF for 48 hours.
Project description:NRVMs were subjected to varying durations of ischemia or ischemia+reperfusion using coverslip hypoxia. Expression profiling was used to identify genes that are differentially regulated in either event. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying ischemia and reperfusion using Coverslip Hypoxia and identified distinct classes of genes regulated during these processes. Experiment Overall Design: RNA was extracted from NRVMs subjected to varying durations of ischemia or ischemia+reperfusion and hybridized to rat genome Affymetrix arrays.

Project description:Purpose:Detection of differentially expressed lncRNA in the infarct zone and the control group in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model tissue. Method: Use 8 weeks of C57BL/6 mice to establish a myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model, 45 minutes of ischemia, and 24 hours after reperfusion, the mice were sacrificed to obtain materials. Result: The expression of lncRNAs in the infarct area of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model mice was detected, and it was found that a total of 43 lncRNAs related to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury changed in expression, of which 17 were up-regulated (fold change >1.5). 26 expressions are down-regulated (fold change <0.8)
