Project name: Rattus norvegicus

Description: Urethra was partially ligated and the urinary bladder was removed 10 days or 6 weeks after obstruction. Sham operated rats were used as controls. An addtitonal group of rats were repoerated 6 weeks after surgery and the obstruction was removed. These rats were then sacrificed 10 days after deobstruction. The bladder (including the urothelium) was frozen and used for RNA extraction.Overall design: Urinary bladders from sham-operated, 10 days and 6 weeks after obstruction and rats 10 days after deobstruction were compared. mRNA and microRNA were both analyzed.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
