dc.description.abstract | This study presents an expression profile of various genes that are involved and regulated in hypertension in both intra- and extracranial vessels. The expression of genes and extension of damage to cerebral arteries caused by hypertension were evaluated quantitatively and morphologically in 10 New Zealand White rabbits with and without hypertension, induced using the 2-kidney, 1-clip Goldblatt hypertension model. Genes in the frontal cortex and middle cerebral artery respectively were filtered from microarray analysis and subjected to the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. From the selection of our genes of interest, 8 genes PPARA, PRL-R, PTGDR, P450, Gab3, Tnfs14, Sell and Lass3 were verified by RT-PCR. These genes have shown to be involved in the progression or contribution towards inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis thus further study of these genes may lead to a better understanding on the role of hypertension in stroke. | |
