Expression data from the hearts of a mouse model of spontaneous myocardial infarction

Mice with homozygous null mutations in the HDL receptor (SR-BI) and apoE genes (SR-BI KO/apoE double KO (dKO) mice) spontaneously develop occlusive, atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) and die prematurely (50% mortality at 42 days of age) on standard chow diet feeding. Microarray analysis was performed to investigate the changes in gene expression profiles during the development of spontaneous severe CAD, which includes myocardial infarction and heart failure. These data will provide new insights in understanding the pathophysiology of CAD.
