Differentially expressed genes in the brain stem of the endotoxemia rat

Abstract
Recent studies demonstrated that LPS treated Sprague-Dawley rats induced a reduction (Phase I), followed by an augmentation (Phase II) and a secondary decrease (Phase III) in the power density of vasomotor components (0-0.8 Hz) in systemic arterial pressure signals. The molecular mechanisms underlie the progression toward death in the brain stem is unclear. In order to find out the differentially expressed genes between LPS-treated RVLM and saline-treated RVLM, we used suppression subtractive hybridization,a method commonly used to search differentially expressed genes, and subtractive cDNA library construction. At present, we have found some differentially expressed genes and these genes are up-regulation expression. These genes may be involved in the progression toward death in the rat brain stem.
