Project description:In order to establish a rat embryonic stem cell transcriptome, mRNA from rESC cell line DAc8, the first male germline competent rat ESC line to be described and the first to be used to generate a knockout rat model was characterized using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis.
Project description:Cultured cell lines are widely used for research in the physiology, pathophysiology, toxicology and pharmacology of the renal proximal tubule. The lines that are most appropriate for a given use depend on the genes expressed. New tools for transcriptomic and proteomic profiling using RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) and mass spectrometry make it possible to catalog expressed genes in each cell line. This data set is the protoemic data of Rat NRK-52E cell line. We concludeno cell line fully matched the transcriptome of native proximal tubule cells. However, some of the lines tested are suitable for the study of particular metabolic and transport processes seen in the proximal tubule.
Project description:Freshly isolated rat kidney proximal tubules were subjected for transcript profiling. Three microarray experiments were done to obtain the kidney proxmial tubule transcriptome.
Project description:Analysis of LBNF1 rat testes from controls, containing both somatic and all germ cell types and from irradiated rats in which all cells germ cells except type A spermatgogonia are eliminated. Results provide insight into distinguishing germ and somatic cell genes and identification of somatic cell genes that are upregulated after irradiation.
