Microarray analysis of mouse skeletal muscle atrophied by a plaster cast
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Muscle atrophy is associated with aging (sarcopenia) and chronic unloading (such as bed confinement and immobilization with casts), as well as various pathological conditions such as type 1 diabetes and nerve injury (denervation). The hindlimb skeletal muscles of C57BL/6 mice (9 weeks old, male) were immobilized (unloaded) by a plaster cast. After 11 days, skeletal muscle was collected and RNA extracted. Expression of Dnmt3a was reduced while expression of Gdf5 was increased by plaster cast immobilization compared to age-matched control mice.
