Differential response to rotator cuff tear in C57BL/6J mice and MRL/MpJ mice

We report RNA sequencing data from the infraspinatus muscles of 3-month old male C57BL/6J (Jackson Labs stock 000664) or MRL/MpJ mice (Jackson Labs stock 000486). Mice underwent a full-thickness infraspinatus tenectomy and denervation, and four weeks later muscles were collected for analysis. Comparisons are made to control male mice of the same strains who did not undergo infraspinatus tenectomy and denervation. Overall design: Differential expression of mRNAs were evaluated between the infraspinatus muscles of C57BL/6J and MRL/MpJ mice that were either subjected to a infraspinatus tenectomy and denervation or who were unoperated controls.
