Project description:Pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy was examined in IL-18 knockout and littermate control mice. Experiment Overall Design: 4 groups with RNA pooled from 5-6 per group. Role of IL-18 on gene expression in cardiac hypertrophy induced by pressure overload (transaortic constriction)
Project description:Pathological cardiac hypertrophy was induced by pressure overload on the heart. We performed genome-wide exon array experiments with left ventricles of mice with 1 week and 4 week of transverse aortic constriction (TAC). The exon level analysis revealed widespread regulation of alternative splicing and alternative polyadenylation during hypertrophy.

We performed genome-wide exon array experiments with left ventricles of mice with 1 week and 4 week of transverse aortic constriction (TAC). The exon level analysis revealed widespread regulation of alternative splicing and alternative polyadenylation during hypertrophy. Exon and gene expression changes were examined in 1 week and 4 week TAC-operated hearts compared to sham-operated hearts. We used C57/BL6 wildtype mice, and their left ventricles were subject to surgery (each n=2).
