Project description:In order to examine the mechanism of TPO on cardiac protection against myocardial infarction damage (MI), we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to delineate the TPO cardioprotective mechanism against infarction. MI and TPO induced gene expressions in rat heart were measured at week 4. Two biological replicates were performed for each treatment group.

Project description:In order to examine the mechanism of TPO on cardiac protection against DOX damage, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to delineate the TPO cardioprotective mechanism against DOX-induced cardiomyopathy Dox and TPO induced gene expressions in rat heart were measured at day 6. Two biological replicates were performed for each treatment group.
Project description:Thrombopoietin (TPO) was shown to prevent irradaition-induced hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) loss of function. A single injection of TPO to mice 45-60 min prior to irradiation is sufficient to reverse the long-lasting accumulation of persistent DNA damage. We used microarrays to analyze whether this effet can relie on TPO-induced specific transcriptional changes during this early time.
