Global miRNA transcriptomic profiling of permanent focal ischemia in an in vivo rat model
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Focal ischemia is triggered by the sudden significant reduction of blood supply to the brain, as a result of either the rupture or occlusion by thrombus/embolism of a blood vessel in the brain. Permanent focal ischemia occurred when blood supply to a specific part of the brain is impeded without reperfusion. Despite major steps achieved in the elucidation of the patho-physiology of cerebral ischemia, the available therapeutic avenues for acute ischemic stroke remain scarce. Cell cycle re-activation has been revealed as a novel signaling pathway during permanent focal ischemia. As such, non-specific aurora kinase inhibitor ZM447439, has been injected intracranial-ventricularly 30min post-ischemia induction to determine its efficacy in reduction of neuronal damage in terms of infarct volume. miRNA microarray analysis was performed on Exiqon 5th generation - hsa, mmu & rno (Product no: 208300-A) to compliment our existing gene expression microarray data [GSE23651]. Arrays were run as dual colour (Hy3: Sample, and Hy5: Common sample reference pool). Right cortex RNA samples were collected at two time-points (8h and 24h )respectively for all three experimental conditions: Sham (n=4), vehicle (i.e. ischemic injury with i.c.v. injection 80% DMSO; n=4) and treatment (injury plus i.c.v.injection of 30mM ZM447439 in 80% DMSO; n=4).
