RNA sequencing of laser captured hippocampal deep and superficial CA1 subfields in epilepsy. RNA sequencing of laser captured hippocampal deep and superficial CA1 subfields in epilepsy

We profiled total mRNA of laser captured microdissected hippocampal deep and superficial CA1 subfields from adult male (45-50 days) Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) (180-200g) subjected to kainic acid-induced status epilepticus (chronic epileptic phase) and control animals. Overall design: Adult male Wistar rats were subjected to kainic acid-induced status epilepticus or sham control (n = 3/group). RNA samples were collected after 6 to 8 weeks post-status when animals were in the chronic epileptic phase.
