RNA sequencing to detect the differentially expressed genes in AngII infused mice model after QDG treatment.

The mice (n=15) were randomly divided into 3 groups: Control, Ang Ⅱ, and Ang Ⅱ+QDG groups (n = 5 for each group). Mice in Control and Ang Ⅱ groups were infused with saline or 500 ng/kg/min of Ang Ⅱ respectively, and orally administrated with saline; while mice in Ang Ⅱ + QDG group were infused with Ang Ⅱ (500 ng/kg/min) and orally administrated with 1.145 g/kg /day of QDG for 2 weeks. Then the cardiac tissues were used to identify differentially expressed genes among different groups. RNA sequencing was performed with heart tissue of control, AngII and QDG treated (n = 5 for each group ) mice to identify the differently expressed genes and related pathway.
