Transcription profiling of Mus Musculus embryonic stem cell line R1 exposures to Valproic acid and VPA analogs to investigate VPA as a potent inducer of neural tube defects
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Valproic acid (VPA) is a potent inducer of neural tube defects (ntd:s) in both human and mouse, but its mechanism of teratogenicity is not know. The mouse embryonic stem cell line R1, may be relevant as an in vitro model of teratogenicity and was evaluated with exposures to VPA,and the two VPA anlogs (S)-2-pentyl-4-pentynoic acid, and 2-ethyl-4-methyl-pentanoic acid to profile the gene expression response. Those profiles may reveal biomarkers of teratogenic exposures in an in vitro system as well as give mechanistic input of the teratogenicity of VPA.
