Project description:In the development and progression of bladder cancer, there are many genetic changes. We established a SD rat orthotopic bladder cancer model through intravesical instillation of N-methyl-nitrosourea and pathologic diagnosis is bladder transtional cell carcinomal (BTCC). We used microarrays to analysis the gene expression changes among these rat bladder carcinoma, adjacent normal tissues and bladder tissues of normal rats.

We used microarrays to analysis the gene expression changes among these rat bladder carcinoma, adjacent normal tissues and bladder tissues of normal rats. Three paired tumor tissues (Group A) and adjacent normal tissues (Group B) were obtained from 3 SD rats with BTCC, and 3 normal tissues (Group C) obtained from 3 normal SD rats. Affymetrix microarrays analyzed the gene expression changes among above 3 groups of tissues.
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.
