Project description:We generated whole-genome gene expression profiles of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons following nerve damage. DRG neurons extend one peripheral axon into the spinal nerve and one central axon into the dorsal root. The peripheral axon regenerates vigorously, while in contrast the central axon has little regenerative capacity. For this study, two groups of animals were subjected either to sciatic nerve (SN) or dorsal root (DR) crush, and at 12, 24, 72 hours and 7 days after the crush, lumbar DRGs L4, L5 and L6 were dissected and total RNA was extracted.
Project description:We employed LC-MS/MS to determine downstream targets of the stem cell factor (SCF)/c-Kit axis in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). Briefly, we dissected lumbar DRG from male C57BL/6 mice and treated ex vivo with vehicle or SCF for 10 min or 1 hour. DRG were then subjected to LC-MS/MS.
Project description:We evalueted gene expression in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) over-expressing NRG1 typeIII ICD (Intra Cellular Domain). DRG were infected with a lentivirus expressing ICD and compared to not infected DRG or DRG infected with a lentivirus expressing EGFP.
Project description:We performed a data independent acquisition (DIA) -based quantitative proteomics strategy to investigate the global proteome alteration in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissues from mice injected with oxaliplatin for different periods.
Project description:We used microarray-based expression genomics in 25 inbred mouse strains to identify dorsal root ganglion (DRG)-expressed genetic contributors to mechanical allodynia a prominent symptom of chronic pain. Expression genetics identifies a role for the Chrna6 (alpha 6-nicotinic receptor) gene in pain in mice and humans. Dorsal root ganglion tissue across multiple inbred mouse strains, both male and female

For each time point after lesion, three biological replicate RNA samples were hybridized together with the common reference sample consisting of labeld RNA pooled from three unlesioned animals.
Project description:In this experiment we compare the effect of tibial nerve transection on gene expression within the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of rats.
