| Title |
X16A.1_A4AL22_205PR RAT WAT |
| Sample type |
RNA |
| |
|
| Source name |
white adipose tissue
|
| Organism |
Rattus norvegicus |
| Characteristics |
Tissues (n=5-7 animals per group) were obtained from the NIH-NIA aging rodent tissue bank.
|
| Biomaterial provider |
BioReliance
|
| Treatment protocol |
Tissues (n=5-7 animals per group) were obtained from the NIH-NIA aging rodent tissue bank. According to supplier records, animals were housed in a specific pathogen free barrier facility under contract with BioReliance. AL animals were housed 3 per cage and CR animals were housed singly. CR (60% of AL) was initiated at 4 months of age with a switch from the NIH 31 to NIH fortified diet. F344 male rats were sacrificed at 4 months (4AL) or 28 months of age (28AL, 28CR). Animals with gross tumor pathologies were excluded from the study. All animals were euthanized by CO2 asphixiation and tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen then stored at –80°C. Subcutaneous WAT was collected from the abdominal region. Recorded body weights differed dramatically between the 3 groups (4AL = 253±8 g, 28AL = 382±20 g, 28CR = 288±7 g) and heart weight as a fraction of body weight was not significantly different between the groups (data not shown). The apical ~1/3 of the heart was homogenized for the expression studies. Sections from the cut face were stained with haematoxylin and eosin to confirm expected aging-associated pathology changes.

| Extracted molecule |
total RNA |
| Extraction protocol |
Total RNA was extracted from frozen tissue samples by homogenization in Trizol® (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and chloroform extraction followed by purification on an RNeasy® Mini column (Qiagen, Valencia, CA).
|
| Label |
biotin
|
| Label protocol |
Total RNA (2 ug) was labeled and hybridized to the RAE230 2.0 arrays and hybridized according to manufacurer’s instructions.
|
| |
|
| Hybridization protocol |
The standard hybridization protocol was used as recommended by Affymterix.
|
| Scan protocol |
GeneChips were scanned using the Affymetrix GeneArray Scanner 3000.
