Project description:Gene expression training data set from rat blood samples exposed to either 150, 1500 or 2500 mg/kg of APAP for 6, 12 or 24 hours. Keywords: Dose response, Time course, Microarray, Gene expression
Project description:Gene expression training data set from rat blood samples exposed to either 150, 1500 or 2500 mg/kg of APAP for 6, 12 or 24 hours. Experiment Overall Design: Male F344/N rats, 10-12 weeks old, were exposed to 0 (vehicle only), 150, 1500 or 2500 mg/kg APAP in 0.5% ethyl cellulose by oral gavage in two doses to increase absorption. The animals were sacrificed after 6, 12 or 24 hours. Equal amounts of RNA from the blood from each of four vehicle-only treated animals at the 6 and 12 hour time point and from each of six vehicle-only treated animals at the 24 hour time point, were pooled for control gene expression. The pooled controls were compared with individual treated animals at each dose and time period. The samples were hybridized in duplicate for each individual rat for a total of 8 (exception due to insufficient RNA quality: 150 mg/kg APAP and 1500 mg/kg APAP at 12 hour time point only 3 animals) microarray chips per dose and time period. Experiment Overall Design: Experiments were performed according to the guidelines established in the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and an approved Animal Study Protocol was on file prior to initiation of the study.
Project description:Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish exhausted-exercise model by motorized rodent treadmill. Yu-Ping-Feng-San at doses of 2.18 g/kg was administrated by gavage before exercise training for 10 consecutive days. Quantitative proteomics was performed for assessing the related mechanism of Yu-Ping-Feng-San.
Project description:Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), as a degenerative multifactorial disease, affects the quality of life and mental health of patients, and also brings a huge socioeconomic burden. Treating synovitis have shown promise as anti-inflammatory therapeutics in mitigating OA symptoms and disease progression. Here, by analysing synovial single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from KOA, we found that synovial fibroblasts (FLS) in OA synovium showed a distinct pro-inflammatory phenotype. We collected synovial tissue from patients with clinical OA as well as from healthy donors, and histological examination was consistent with findings in scRNA-seq. Inspired by recent cross-tissue fibroblast lineage studies, we identified by sequencing that healthy FLS in synovial tissues share transcriptome-level similarities with dermal fibroblasts (DFb). Subsequently, we revealed the local as well as systemic distribution of intra-articular injected DFbs by constructing/extracting two types of rat fibroblasts (luciferase DFbs as well as GFP DFbs). The results demonstrate that DFbs can be locally retained in the synovium for up to three weeks following targeted engrafting on it. And intra-articular injection does not result in DFbs migration to vital organs or the occurrence of histological changes in these organs. A rat model of KOA was constructed by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) in order to study the therapeutic effect of DFbs on KOA. After injection, the rats showed improvement in painful gait. In addition, histological as well as imaging results showed reduced synovitis and improvement in articular cartilage. Finally we verified the protective effect of DFbs on cytokine-stimulated chondrocytes in a co-culture system.
