Cardiac transcriptome analysis of RKIP-transgenic and GRK2-transgenic mice by NGS
(2021)The RAF kinase inhibitor protein, RKIP, is a dual inhibitor of the RAF1 kinase and the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2). By inhibition of the proto-oncogenic and pro-survival RAF1-MAPK pathway, the RAF kinase inhibitor protein, RKIP, acts as a tumor suppressor, which enhances cardiomyocyte death and promotes the development of symptoms of heart failure. To elucidate pathomechanisms of heart failure induced by RKIP, the study ...Dataset -
Microarray gene expression profiling of heart failure induced in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
(2011)The anti-diabetic drug and agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg), rosiglitazone, was recently withdrawn in many countries because the drug use was associated with an increased risk of heart failure. To investigate underlying pathomechanisms, we chose 6-month-old apolipoprotein E (apoE)-deficient mice, which are prone to atherosclerosis and insulin resistance, and thereby mimic the risk profile of patients ...Dataset -

Microarray gene expression profiling of aortic genes of APOE-deficient mice receiving atherosclerosis treatment with the antioxidant vitamin E
(2012)Hypercholesterolemic APOE-deficient mice are a widely used experimental model of atherosclerosis and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a prominent feature of atherosclerosis development. To study the impact of ROS on atherogenesis, we treated APOE-deficient mice for 7 months with the antioxidant vitamin E (2000 IU/kg diet) and performed whole genome microarray gene expression profiling of aortic genes. Microarray ...Dataset -
Microarray gene expression profiling of transgenic mice with myocardium-specific over-expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN)
(2013)The fatty acid synthase (FASN) is the major fat synthesizing enzyme. FASN is an indispensable enzyme because mice with genetic deletion of Fasn are not viable. Apart from its physiological function, previous studies indicated that FASN could also exert a pathophysiological role, in the heart, because patients with heart failure showed up-reguation of FASN. To investigate the in vivo function of FASN up-regulation in the heart, we generated ...Dataset
