Project description:The puropose of this experiment was to identify gene expression changes that result from 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine induced DNA demethylation of Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells. The gene expression profiles of untreated Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells were compared to the gene expression profiles of Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells that were treated for 5 passages with a low dose of 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (0.1uM).

Five chip study. For these experiments, microarray was carried out on untreated (control) Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells (3 biological replicates), and microarray was also carried out on Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells treated with 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (2 biological replicates).
Project description:These libraries represent instances of Swarm rat chondrosarcoma tumors taken from different transplantation experiments. This series also contains one non-cancerous cartilage library made from rat normal growing femoral head cartilage as a comparative data point. Keywords: other

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: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.
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.
