Transcriptome analysis of remote ischemic postconditioning

Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) induced by brief episodes of the limb ischemia is a potential therapeutic strategy for myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. The actual mechanisms underlying cardioprotection conferred by RIPostC remain unclear so far. Exploring gene expression profile in myocardium at Transcriptional level is helpful to deepen the understanding on the cardioprotective mechanisms of RIPostC. This study aims to investigate the effect of RIPostC on gene expression in rat myocardium using transcriptome sequencing.
