Stroke-induced transcriptomic alterations in mouse cerebral microvessels. Stroke-induced transcriptomic alterations in mouse cerebral microvessels

To investigate the stroke-induced changes in gene expression in cerebral microvessels, we subjected mice to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) or sham surgeries. 24h hours later, cerebral microvessels were harvested and RNA was isolated. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of cerebral microvessels isolated from 8 mice (4 shams and 4 tMCAO) Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for sham and tMCAO mice
