Description
This study examines the transcriptional profile at a single-nuclei resolution in mice with muscle-specific deletion of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). Wildtype (AHRfl/fl, floxed Cre negative littermates) and AHRmKO (AHR muscle specific knockout) mice were given chronic kidney disease via adenine supplemented diet. Mice were then subjected to femoral artery ligation as an experimental model of peripheral artery disease. Tibialis anterior muscles were harvested at five days post-surgery and immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until nuclei isolation. In both libraries, muscle specimens were pooled from three males prior to nuclei isolations were performed.
Overall Design
Nuclei were isolated from tibialis anterior muscle of male AHRfl/fl and AHRmKO mice with chronic kidney disease five days after femoral artery ligation surgery and analyzed using snRNAseq.
