| Title |
ACI DES-treated replicate 4 |
| Sample type |
RNA |
| |
|
| Source name |
anterior pituitary
|
| Organism |
Rattus norvegicus |
| Characteristics |
ACI strain, male, age 21 weeks, treated with the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) for 12 weeks
|
| Extracted molecule |
total RNA |
| Extraction protocol |
Anterior pituitary gland was harvested at the time of sacrifice, weighed and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tissue was homogenized in lysis buffer by passage through an 18- and then 22-guage needle. Total RNA was isolated using the Absolutely RNA Kit from Stratagene.
|
| Label |
biotin
|
| Label protocol |
Approximately 2 µg of total RNA was processed to produce biotinylated cRNA targets.

| Description |
ACI rats were obtained from Harlan (Indianapolis, IN). At 9 weeks of age, a silastic tubing implant containing 5mg of the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) was surgically implanted subcutaneously in the interscapular region of male rats. Each animal received an intraperitoneal injection of BrdU (50mg/kg) 4 hours prior to sacrifice. Animals were sacrificed at 21 weeks of age by decapitation and pituitary glands were immediately harvested, weighed and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tissues were homogenized through a 22-gauge needle and total RNA was extracted using the Absolutely RNA Kit (Stratagene). A total of 4 DES-treated males were used, resulting in three independent biological replicates.
