Genome wide analysis of upper spinal cords with training after spinal cord hemisection injury
The goal of this study is to elucidate the influence of treadmill training on transcriptome of the upper lumbar spinal cord after thoracic spinal cord hemisection. mRNA profiles of spinal cords at 23 days-post injury with/without treadmill training were generated. The expression levels of 650 genes in the trained animal were increased ( > 2-fold) compared to untrained animals. Our study represents the detailed analysis of transcriptomes of spinal cord distal to the hemisected lesion after treadmill training, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. Overall design: The effect of training after spinal cord injury (T9) on the transcriptome of intact upper spinal cord was investigated.
