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: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:This experiment was designed to study the alteration in expression of mRNA is kidney following recovery from transient acute renal failure. The model used was a 52 min. bilateral renal artery clamping, followed by reperfusion, which resulted in a transient loss of renal function, followed by a functional recovery. All tissue in this study was harvested 35 days post-surgery, when renal function was restored, and renal structure largelyy normal. For controls, sham-operated animals were used. An N of 6 post-ischemia reperfusion animals were used with 6 sham-operated controls. For hybridization studies, RNA from one of six post-ischemic acute renal failure animals were compared with with RNA from kidney of six sham-operated control animals. Each ARF vs. sham-operated comparison was performed twice, alternating the cy3 and cy5 label between the two hybridizations for each pair. A second set of hybridizations was carried out using sham vs. sham hybridizations. This was done to get a quantitative analysis of the variation of the biological and microarry platform.
