Expression data from preadipocytes isolated from laying hen II

Adipogenesis is one of the most intensively studied models of cellular differentiation, and transcriptional activities involved in the process have been extensively investigated. We analyzed transcripts differentially expressed between hen preadipocytes treated with adipogenic cocktail containing 500 nM dexamethasone, 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 20 g/mL insulin and 300 M OA (DMIOA) and non-treated control cells and transcripts differentially expressed between preadipocytes treated with DMIOA alone and those treated with a combination of DMIOA and 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol (DMIOA + 20(S)) using Affymetrix GeneChip Chicken Genome Array containing 28,000 transcripts.
