title: BN and SHR rat expression profiling left ventricle
design: BN and SHR rat expression profiling left ventricle
library_construction_protocol: Rats were housed in an air-conditioned animal facility and allowed free access to standard laboratory chow and water. All experiments were done in agreement with the Animal Protection Law of the Czech Republic and were approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Physiology, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. We collected left ventricular tissue from unfasted males from six week old male BN-Lx/Cub (referred to in this study as BN), SHR/Olalpcv (referred to as SHR) (n = 4 per strain); and from (BNxSHR)F1 and (SHRxBN)F1 (n = 4 per cross); and from male rats from 29 BXH/HXB recombinant inbred strains (n = 2 per strain) (Pravenec et al. 1989) between 9:00am and 10:00am. Left ventricles were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C. The BN-Lx/Cub and SHR/Olalpcv lines have been inbred over more than 80 generations (Simonis et al. 2012). RNA was extracted from 25mg of crushed left ventricular tissue from four BN and four SHR animals without pooling, using Trizol (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's instructions. 4ug of total RNA was used to generate RNA-seq libraries using TruSeq RNA kit (Illumina) according to manufacturer's instructions.
