Transcriptomic effects of fluocinolone acetonide treatment on mouse skin
In order to investigate how chronic steroid treatment affects mouse skin at molecular levels, we shaved the back hair of 7 week-old female C57BL/6 mice and applied steroid (5 µg fluocinolone acetonide in 200 µl acetone) or vehicle once every three days for 12 days and then collected the skin samples 1, 15, or 30 days later for transcriptomic analysis.
