Project name: Mus musculus

Description: The objective of this study is to assess the early effects of the Serum Response Factor deletion on the vascular gene expression program.To generate smooth muscle specific SRF knockout, 4 month-old [SRF-flex2neo -SM22CreERT2ki/+] mice (SRFSMKO mice) were injected i.p. with 1mg of tamoxifen for 3 days. All control (SRF-flex2neo littermates) and SRFSMKO mice were systematically injected with tamoxifen to normalize for any effects due to tamoxifen.Overall design: Mice were sacrificed 8 days after tamoxyfen injection for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
