Abstract

The accurate measurement of mRNA expression levels is crucially dependent on the use of relevant reference genes for the normalization of data. Currently, heart failure is a serious and widespread disease, and multiple mouse models are utilized for the study of this complex disease. Although mouse models are commonly used to study cardiovascular disease, various studies have not employed the appropriate selection strategies. The present study investigated the expression stability of eight candidate reference genes (GAPDH, ACTB, B2M, CycA, TBP, PBGD, HTRP 1 and 18S) in two mouse models of heart failure, including the transverse aortic arch constriction (TAC) model and the myocardial infarction (MI) model, using GeNorm software. The expression of BNP was normalized using different reference gene strategies, and it was demonstrated that its induction following heart failure was most profound with the optimal reference gene combination. The most stable genes were identified as follows: TBP and CycA in the MI model, and PBGD and GAPDH in the TAC model. The present study provides important information for reference gene selection in mouse models of heart failure, and will aid further investigations of the transcriptome in cardiovascular research.
