Zusammenfassung
Aims: The complex modulation of gene expression after partial hepatectomy (PH) is not fully understood. Therefore our aim was to develop a sensitive, specific, reproducible, robust and cost-effective customized cDNA array system for convenient multi-sample expression profiling for several hundred genes of choice to study this question in a rat model of PH. Methods: Male 6–8 weeks old Wistar rats (n=6/group) were subjected to 70% PH and RNA was isolated at the end of surgery and 2, 12, 24, 48, 72h and 7d after the operation and analyzed by customized gene arrays that contain 120 genes described to be involved in…
