Global hepatic gene expression data from PPARa liver KO, PPARa liver WT, PPARaKO and WT male mice treated or not with Fenofibrate. Mus musculus

Fenofibrate is a specific agonist of the nuclear receptor PPARa. To identify the gene expression under the strict dependence of hepatic PPARa activity, we generated a new mouse strain of PPARa-specific deletion in hepatocyte (albumin-Cre+/- Pparaflox/flox or LKO) and we compared them to total Ppara KO (KO), wild-type (WT) and liver WT (albumin-Cre-/- Pparaflox/flox or LWT) mice. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in liver of Ppara LKO, LWT, Ppara KO and WT male mice. Overall design: There are 36 liver samples, each from an individual mouse. The samples are from Ppara liver KO (LKO), Ppara KO (KO), wild-type (WT) and liver WT (LWT) male mice of 14 week-old from the same genetic background (C57Bl/6J) treated with Fenofibrate (100 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (aqueous solution of gum Arabic 3%) by daily gavage for 10 days. n= 4 mice for LKO, LWT and WT genotypes treated with vehicle; n=3 for KO mice treated with vehicle; n=5 mice for LWT, LKO and KO genotypes treated with fenofibrate; n=4 WT mice treated with fenofibrate. All mice were sacrified at ZT14.
