Mouse ureter: wild type vs miR-143/145 knock out

mRNA profiling of mouse ureters comparing wild-type ureter vs. ureters from mice having whole body deletion of miR-143 and miR-145 which results in abnormal ureter peristalsis and hydronephrosis We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in wild-type and miR-143/145-deficient ureters which revealed dysregulation of genes linked to smooth muscle morphology and function. Two condition experiment: wild type vs miR-143/145 KO; biological replicates: individual mice - 2 wild type, 2 mutant. One replicate per array.
