Project description:SAGE profile of rat hippocampus mRNA from Wistar rats This GEO Series was created by the GEO staff as part of a cleanup effort to ensure that all GEO Samples are included within a Series entry.
Project description:The Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY rat) is a widely used spontaneous model of depression. The WKY rats were subjected to oral exposure of Escitalopram solution (a first-line antidepressant) ,then hippocampus were analysed using LC-MS/MS analysis.
Project description:Thirty-two SD rats (male, 150 grams, 50days) were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, asthma group, acupuncture-treated asthma group and acupuncture-treated normal group. The rat lungs were removed immediately after the rats were died. The rat lungs were conserved in liquid nitrogen. SAGE analyses were dependent on the classic protocol (Velculescu VE, et al, Serial Analysis of Gene Expression Detailed Protocol, version 1.0e, 2000) available at the SAGENET website. Keyword = Rat Keyword = Lung Keyword = Asthma Keyword = SAGE Keyword = Acupuncture Keywords: disease state analysis
Project description:we analyzed the miRNAs expression in Wistar rat liver tissues, High glucose (HG)-induced NAFLD Wistar rats (NAFLD group, n=3) and normal Wistar rats (normal group, n=3). Results provided the first global miRNAs in the NAFLD Wistar rat livers, and expanded the miRNAs repertoire in normal Wistar rat livers, which should be useful for further investigation into the biological functions and evolution of miRNAs in rats and other species. These findings suggest an important role of miRNAs in liver fat deposition, and implicate the participation of miRNAs in the NAFLD pathophysiological processes.
Project description:The Goto-Kakizak (GK) rat, a nonobese animal model of Type 2 diabetes (T2D), were developed by repeated inbreeding of glucose-intolerent individuals selected from Wistar rats. During their development, GK rats suffer from reduced beta-cell mass and insulin resistance spontaneously (T2D phenotype), which are supposed to be caused by loci holding different genotypes between GK and Wistar rats. This array CGH experiment can detect loci which show different copy numbers (genotype) between GK and Wistar rats. These loci serve as a valuable repository for mining candidates contributing to the pathogenesis of T2D.
Project description:SAGE analysis of genes expressed in rat brain microvessels. Keywords: Novel gene identification Microvessels were pooled from 50 rats, a single SAGE library was constructed from the microvessel RNA

Project description:Gene expression along the crypt-villus (C-V) axis was analyzed using cryostat sectioning to isolate fractions representing the crypts (bottom) and villus tops (top). These fractions were used for analyzing gene expression in iron replete Wistar rats (++), iron deficient Wistar rats (low iron), and in iron deficient Wistar rats fed iron for 3 and 6 days (iron-fed). Differences were observed between the crypts and villus tops in the expression of genes associated with Wnt and BNP signaling, cell proliferation and apoptosis, lipid and iron transport and metabolism. Gene expression in villus crypts and tops was also compared between Wistar and Belgrade rats (bb) and Belgrade rats fed iron (iron-fed) particularly as related to iron absorption and metabolism to define the affects of the mutation in DMT1 in the Belgrade rat on the expression of genes related to iron absorption and metabolism and the response to iron feeding. Keywords: iron stress response
