Project description:The objective of the study was to identify microRNAs expressed in the rat soleus muscle and determine if their expression was changed in response to hindlimb suspension. The microRNA expression profile (Sanger miRBase 9.0) of the rat soleus muscle was determined in the following three groups: control (C), hindlimb suspended for 2 days (HS-2) or 7 days (HS-7). Three replicates were performed for each group.
Project description:Identification of gravisensitive miRNAs expression in rat soleus muscle exposed to 7 and 14 days of Hindlimb suspension (HS) simulated microgravity. Microgravity causes muscle atrophy possibly due to muscle wasting overtake regeneration. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms regulating muscle atrophy. The expression of 23 out of 174 miRNAs was found to change at least 2-fold of 7 and/or 14 days of TS. By using real-time PCR assays, we verified the microarray data using some of the expected genes.

Microgravity causes muscle atrophy possibly due to muscle wasting overtake regeneration. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms regulating muscle atrophy. The expression of 787 (373 upregulated and 414 downregulated) and 923 (491 upregulated and 432 downregulated) genes out of 28000 was altered respectively at least 2-fold of 7 and 14 days TS, which represented 397 (233 upregulated and 164 downregulated) genes of common alteration. By using real-time PCR assays, we verified the microarray data using some of the expected genes.

Project description:In this work we employed classic skeletal muscle unloading rat model to determine how hindlimb suspension (HS) affects functional activity of skeletal muscle progenitor cells (SMPC). We have purified SMPC from m. soleus from control rats and after 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of exposure (HS1, HS3, HS7, HS14).

The tissue was collected from Sprague-Dawley rats (8 weeks of age) subjected to 7, 14days of TS. miRNA expression profile was determined in three groups: control (CN), TS for 7 days (TS-7), and TS for 14 days (TS-14).Three miRNA microarray chips were analyzed for mixture of four samples of each of the three groups.
