Effect of WY-14643 on Rat Primary Hepatocytes.

This study provides an evaluation of changes in gene expression associated with WY-14643 treatment of rat hepatocytes in vitro. Primary rat hepatocytes were treated for 24 and 48 hours with two doses 8 uM and 200 uM) of WY-14643 and 1% DMSO vehicle control. Five replicates of each treatment were performed. Cells were then extracted and RNA processed for microarray analysis. This series is part of a SuperSeries in which primary rat hepatocytes were treated with two doses of ten chemical compounds (and corresponding vehicle controls) for 24 and 48 hours. Each compound/vehicle treatment group was an individual study performed at different times. Each study was analyzed separately and themes common between studies were reported.
