Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE12754: Expression data from 28 day sham and shunt atrial and ventricular tissues (set 1) GSE12755: Expression data from 28 day sham and shunt atrial tissues (set 2) Refer to individual Series
Project description:Pharmacological and gene ablation studies have demonstrated a crucial role of the caridac natriuretic peptides (NP) hormones ANF and BNP in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. Considerable effort has been focused on the elucidation of the mechanistic underlying increased atrial ANF and BNP expression and secretion. These investigations are important because under chronic congestive heart failure, the secretion of NPs although increased and beneficial, is relatively insufficient as demonstrated by the fact that patients benefit form the unloading of the heart induced by therapeutic administration of either ANF or BNP. To identify genes involved in the transcriptional response of the endocrine heart under normal and stimulated states, we conducted differential gene expression studies of the rat atria and ventricles under normal or chronic volume overload, induced by aorto-caval shunt. The left atrial appendages and left ventricular free walls were obtained from 28 day sham and shunt operated male Sprague Dawley rats. Total RNA was obtained from three pools (of two tissues) of left atria and left ventricles under sham and shunt conditions. Three biological replicates for each muscle type and condition were generated.

To identify genes involved in the transcriptional response of the endocrine heart under normal and stimulated states, we conducted differential gene expression studies of the rat atria under normal or chronic volume overload, induced by aorto-caval shunt. The left and right atrial appendages were obtained from 28 day sham and shunt operated male Sprague Dawley rats. Total RNA was obtained from three pools (of two tissues) of right atria and left atria under sham and shunt conditions. Three biological replicates for each muscle type and condition were generated.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of miRNAs from rat brain tissues comparing controls (Sham) with ischemic rats (tMCAO) and neuroprotected rats (RLIP) Internal normalization: ischemic core vs. periischemic and ANOVA comparison across three experimental conditions: Sham, tMCAO and RLIP
Project description:We analyzed time dependent global proteomic adaptations during heart failure (HF) progression in a mouse model, suffering from left ventricular pressure overload due to transverse aortic constriction (TAC), to gain deeper insights in the disease development and identify new biomarker candidates. The hearts from TAC and sham mice were examined by cardiac MRI on either day 4, 14, 21, 28, 42, and 56 after surgery (n=6 group/time point). At each time point, proteomes of the left (LV) and right ventricles (RV) of TAC and sham mice were analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS).
Project description:Rats underwent surgery for LAD ligation for 30 min followed by reperfusion. Heart ventricles were collected 2d or 7d after reperfusion. Experiment Overall Design: rats were divided in following groups that underwent LAD occlusion or not (SHAM): Experiment Overall Design: 1. 7d-IR (n=3) Experiment Overall Design: 2. 7d-sham (n=3) Experiment Overall Design: 3. 2d-IR (n=3) Experiment Overall Design: 4. 7d-sham (n=3)
Project description:Analysis of hormone effects on irradiated LBNF1 rat testes, which contain only somatic cells except for a few type A spermatgogonia. Rats were treated for 2 weeks with either sham treatment (group X), hormonal ablation (GnRH antagonist and the androgen receptor antagonist flutamide, group XAF), testosterone supplementation (GnRH antagonist and testosterone, group XAT), and FSH supplementation ((GnRH antagonist, androgen receptor antagonist, and FSH, group XAFF). Results provide insight into identifying genes in the somatic testis cells regulated by testosterone, LH, or FSH.
