Project description:In order to establish a rat embryonic stem cell transcriptome, mRNA from rESC cell line DAc8, the first male germline competent rat ESC line to be described and the first to be used to generate a knockout rat model was characterized using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis.
Project description:Analysis of LBNF1 rat testes from controls, containing both somatic and all germ cell types and from irradiated rats in which all cells germ cells except type A spermatgogonia are eliminated. Results provide insight into distinguishing germ and somatic cell genes and identification of somatic cell genes that are upregulated after irradiation.
Project description:Analysis of early changes in the R-H model of carcinogenesis in order to investigate the relationship between oval cell proliferation and preneoplastic foci 5 controls, 5 CK-19-negative preneoplastic nodules, 5 CK-19-positive preneoplastic nodule, 5 Preneoplastic foci
Project description:This is an evaluation of the impact of the successive steps of LCM procedure on gene expression profiling by comparing profiles from LCM samples to those obtained with non-microdissected liver samples collected after a one month CLO treatment in the rat. We showed that the H&E staining used for identifying PP-foci and the laser microdissection itself do not impact on RNA quality.
