Project description:Transcriptional profiling of left ventricular tissues of Dahl rat with or without treatment of chaetocin Three-condition experiment, Control vs. failing heart, failing heart vs. treatment with chaetocin. 3 samples mixture per each group
Project description:Left ventricle myocytes from Dahl rats with a normal or failed heart was subjected to mRNA quantitation or ChIP-on-chip experiments with Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 microarrays. Keywords: ChIP-chip
Project description:Left ventricle myocytes from Dahl rats with a normal or failed heart was subjected to mRNA quantitation or ChIP-on-chip experiments with Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 microarrays. Experiment Overall Design: One left venctricle specimen was used for each mRNA quantitation/ChIP-on-chip experiment with a normal or failed heart.
Project description:To get more insight in cause and consequences of proteinuria, we studied glomerular gene expression patterns before and after the onset of increased urinary albumin excretion in a proteinuric rat strain. Spontaneously proteinuric Dahl salt-sensitive rats (Dahl SS) were compared to non-proteinuric, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In Dahl SS, UAE significantly increased starting from week 5 of age. Glomerular RNA profiles of 4- and 6 week-old rats were studied by Affymetrix microarrays. Keywords: Time course analysis
Project description:Kidney samples from three Dahl Salt-sensitive S rats were compared with kidney samples from three S.R(9)x3A congenic rats. Keywords = Blood Pressure Keywords = Quantitative trait locus Keywords = QTL Keywords = hypertension Keywords = rat Keywords = congenic Keywords: parallel sample
Project description:We analyzed the glomerular proteome in Dahl salt sensitive rats after 21 days of induction of hypertension, after 7 days and in control conditions.
Project description:To get more insight in cause and consequences of proteinuria, we studied glomerular gene expression patterns before and after the onset of increased urinary albumin excretion in a proteinuric rat strain. Spontaneously proteinuric Dahl salt-sensitive rats (Dahl SS) were compared to non-proteinuric, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In Dahl SS, UAE significantly increased starting from week 5 of age. Glomerular RNA profiles of 4- and 6 week-old rats were studied by Affymetrix microarrays. Experiment Overall Design: RNA was extracted from isolated glomeruli of 4- and 6 week-old rats from both strains. At each time point, two rats were used for each strain.
Project description:Elevated levels of an endogenous Na/K‐ATPase inhibitor marinobufagenin accompany salt‐sensitive hypertension and are implicated in cardiac fibrosis. Immunoneutralization of marinobufagenin reduces blood pressure in Dahl salt‐sensitive (Dahl‐S) rats. The effect of the anti‐marinobufagenin monoclonal antibody on blood pressure, left ventricular (LV) and renal remodeling, and LV gene expression were investigated in hypertensive Dahl‐S rats.
