Gene expression change in Keap1 knockdown (KD) mice in kidneys of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Mus musculus

We analyzed differences in IRI kidneys between WT and Keap1 KD mice (= Nrf2-activated mice). To identify Nrf2-target genes or metabolic genes in kidneys, we examined the mRNA expression profile both in normal (uninjured) and IRI kidneys (at day1 after unilateral IRI) from mice Overall design: We performed microarray analyses using 1) Injured kidneys at day 1 after unilateral IRI, and 2) intact kidneys from mice which did not undergo UIRI. Samples were harvested from Keap1 KD mice and WT mice, n = 2 each,
