Characterizing the transcriptomic profile of the cortex within the long-term window of ischemic tolerance mediated by resveratrol preconditioning

To identify novel genes and adaptations induced by resveratrol preconditioning that could promote long-term cerebral ischemic tolerance. After analyzing the results, we identified only 155 differentially expressed genes among which the majority of genes consisting of 126 were downregulated and only 29 genes were upregulated. The downregulated genes clustered into biological processes involved in regulating the memebrane potential, gene expression regulation, and neurotrasmitter transport secrection. While the upregulated gene included immediate early genes and genes involved in antioxidant defense. Overall design: Mice were subject to an intraperitoneal injection of vehicle or resveratrol (10mg/kg) (n=3 per group), two weeks later their cerebral cortex was collected, RNA was extracted and then sent for sequencing
