Allelic expression in genes has become recognized as a heritable trait by which phenotypes are generated. We have examined gene expression in the rat kidney using genome-wide microarray technology (Affymetrix). Gene expression was determined across 4 rat strains, 3 hypertensive spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) substrains (SHR-A3, SHR-B2, and SHR-C), and a normotensive strain (Wistar-Kyoto [WKY]). Expression measurements were made in multiple animals from all strains at 4 time points (4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 18 weeks of age), covering the prehypertensive period in SHR (4 weeks), and the period of rapidly rising blood pressure (8 and 12 weeks) and of sustained hypertension (18 weeks). Regression analysis revealed a close relationship across all strains during the first 3 time points, after which SHR-A3 became a substantial outlier. SHR-B2 and SHR-C demonstrated a very close relationship in gene expression at all times but also showed increased differences compared with the other strains at 18 weeks of age. We identified genes that were consistently different in expression, comparing all SHR substrains at each time point with WKY. The resulting list of genes was compared with blood pressure quantitative trait loci reported for SHR to refine a number of genes consistently differentially expressed between SHR substrains and WKY, persistently differentially expressed across multiple time points, and located in SHR blood pressure-determinative regions of the genome. Genealogical relationships and SHR substrain intercrosses suggest that genes responsible for heritable hypertension in SHR are shared across SHR substrains. The present approach identifies a number of genes that may influence blood pressure in SHR by virtue of allelic effects on gene expression.
