Expression data from mouse bone marrow cells expressing renin driven expression of green fluorescent protein.. Mus musculus

Local renin antiotensin systems have been identified for many extra-renal sites. Bone marrow has been proposed as one such site, although the nature of the renin-expressing cell type(s) has not been established. Affymetrix microarrays were used to characterize the expression profile of renin-expressing GFP positive cells. Overall design: Green fluorescent protein positive cells were sorted from whole bone marrow collected from adult transgenic mice. Bone marrow from several mice was collected and pooled on the day of a FACS sort. A portion of this was reserved for RNA extraction while the remainder was sorted. RNA was prepared with Trizol. Bone marrow collection and sorting was performed 3 times so that microarrays could be run in triplicate.
