Gene array experiment to identify genes that are upregulated by saturating creatine levels in vitro and potentially inhibiting creatine transporter (CrT) activity
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We sought to investigate the mechanisms of CrT modulation by saturating extracellular Cr. For this purpose, we used an in vitro system of 3T3 fibroblasts stably overexpressing CrT and followed a global gene array approach to test the hypothesis that saturating intracellular [Cr] increases the expression of candidate molecules that inhibit CrT activity. In this way, we would elucidate mechanisms of redox regulation in cases of fluctuating energy demands. 3T3-CrT cells were grown on 6-well plates to 70% confluency. n=3 replicate wells were treated with 5mM creatine monohydrate in growth media and n=3 wells remained untreated (controls).
