GSE138253: Differential transcriptional responses to cardiomyocyte-specific Notch activation in right versus left atria of murine cardiac tissue

• Organsim mouse
• Type RNASEQ
• Target gene
• Project ARCHS4

We report the mRNA sequencing of right and left atria from an adult inducible, cardiomyocyte-specific Notch gain-of-function mouse model (iNICD). Using the tetracycline-on system, we activated Notch by feeding doxycycline chow for 3 weeks to mice that were at least 8 weeks old. We asked what transcriptional changes occur in right versus left atrial cardiomyocytes in response to the same stimulus (Notch signaling). mRNA sequencing on separated right and left atria revealed that there are more differentially dysregulated transcripts (1,011) than similarly regulated transcripts (447) in the right and left atria, which is a simiar paradigm as what occurs in human atrial cardiomyocytes of patients with atrial fibrillation.
