ABSTRACT: The goals of this study is to compare the differently expressed genes in abdominal aorta tissue of WKY and SHR as well as differently expressed genes in the abdominal aorta tissue of SHR with or without neferine treatment. The rat (n=15) were randomly divided into 3 groups: WKY,SHR, and SHR + neferine - H (high concentration) groups (n=6 for each group). Rat in WKY and SHR groups were intragastrically with double distilled water (dd H2O); while rat in SHR + SHR + neferine - H groups were intragastrically with 10mg/kg/D of neferine for 10 weeks. Then the abdominal aorta were used to identify differentially expressed genes among different groups.
Project description:The goals of this study is to compare the differently expressed genes in abdominal aortaof WKY and SHR with or without Ethoxysanguinarine (ETH) treatment. The SHRs (n=12) were randomly divided into 2 groups: SHR, and SHR +ETH (3.5mg/kg/d) groups (n=6 for each group). WKY rats (n=6) were set as control. Rats in WKY and SHR groups were intragastrically with double distilled water (dd H2O), while rats in SHR + ETH (3.5mg/kg/d) group were intragastrically with 3.5 mg/kg/d of ETH for 10 weeks. Then the vascular vessel tissues were used to identify differentially expressed genes among different groups.
Project description:The goals of this study is to compare the differently expressed genes in renal tissues of WKY and SHR with or without isoliensinine treatment. The SHRs (n=12) were randomly divided into 2 groups: SHR, and SHR + isoliensinine (5mg/kg/d) groups (n=6 for each group). WKY rats (n=6) were set as control. Rats in WKY and SHR groups were intragastrically with double distilled water (dd H2O); while rats in SHR + isoliensinine (5mg/kg/d) group were intragastrically with 5mg/kg/d of isoliensinine for 10 weeks. Then the renal tissues were used to identify differentially expressed genes among different groups.
Project description:The goals of this study is to compare the differently expressed genes in abdominal aorta tissues of Control and Ang II with or without neferine treatment. The Ang II (n=12) were randomly divided into 2 groups: Ang II , and Ang II + neferine (1 mg/kg/day) groups (n=6 for each group). Control groups (n=5) were set as control. Mouse in Control and Ang II groups were intragastrically with double distilled water (dd H2O); while mice in Ang II + neferine (1 mg/kg/day) group were intragastrically with 1 mg/kg/day of neferine for 6 weeks. Then the abdominal aorta tissues were used to identify differentially expressed genes among different groups.
Project description:We measured gene expression in the adrenal glands of the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) using Affymetrix RG-U34A GeneChips. All rats were aged-matched at 4-weeks. The rats were obtained from the colonies at the Univeristy of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA. Keywords: other
Project description:We have used Affymetrix microarray-driven gene profiling to comprehensively describe the expression of mRNAs in the brainstem and hypothalamus in the adult male spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) as compared to its normotensive parental Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) strain.
Project description:This study examined the renal gene expression profiles between spontaneously-hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats at a pre-hypertensive stage (3 weeks of age) and hypertensive stage (9 weeks of age). In addition, age-related changes in gene expression patterns were examined from 3 to 9 weeks in both WKY and SHR. Five to six individual kidney samples of the same experimental group were pooled together and quadruplicate hybridizations were performed on the NIEHS Rat v2.1, 2.2 and 3.0 arrays. Keywords: other

Project description:We examined gene expression profiles in the rat mesenteric arteries using genome-wide microarray technology, and determined gene expression profiles in 3 rat strains and treated ones: spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP), and normotensive WKYs treated with 2K1C or 1K1C, or without operation for 3 weeks at 6 weeks of age. To identify candidate genes involved in the genesis of hypertension in the SHR strains in comparison to renal hypertensive WKY, we compared the gene expression levels at 6 weeks of age, isolated genes showing a more than 4-fold increase or a less than 1/4-fold compared with WKY treated with 2K1C, 1K1C or none.
