Project description:Transcriptom analysis of stellate sympathetic ganglia after 8 weeks of cardiac pressure overload caused by transverse aortic constriction. Comparative transcriptome analysis was determined using the GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Six microarrays from stellate sympathetic ganglia of mice were performed 8 weeks after transverse aortic constriction or sham operation.

Project description:Hypertension remains a poorly understood condition, and the understanding of the sympathetic nervous systems role in this disease remains even more limited. In this study, RNA-sequencing is used to identify transcriptomal differences in the sympathetic stellate ganglia between the 16-week-old normotensive wistar strain and the spontaneously hypertensive rat strain.This dataset should allow for further molecular characterisation of hypertensive changes in a cardiac-innervating sympathetic ganglion.
