It has been shown that acetylcholine has anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of acetylcholine in cardiac inflammation. We used the diphtheria toxin (DT)-cardiomyocyte ablation model (DTR model) (Lavine et al., 2014 - PNAS) to induce cardiac injury (DT, 2 days, 2.5µg/kg, IP). Beginning one week prior to DT injury, mice were treated with vehicle (PBS, phosphate buffered saline) or the cholinesterase inhibitor pyridostigmine (PYR, 3mg/kg, SQ). Hearts were harvested at Day 5 post-DT-injury. Here, we provide the transcriptional profile of wild-type/PBS, wild-type/PYR, DTR/PBS and DTR/PYR hearts. Overall design: mRNA sequencing profiles were generated from 6 each of wild-type/PBS, wild type/PYR, DTR/PBS and DTR/PYR hearts on Illumina HiSeq 3000 instruments. Less...
