Heparin was injected into the jugular 5 minutes before sacrifice; right lung was flushed with PBS immediately after sacrifice, removed, and immediately converted to RNA using Qiagen rnEasy columns

Description
Pooled RNA from whole lung homogenate from three female FVB/N mouse heterozygous for Rosa26-rtTA2 transgene, fed doxycycline for 6 weeks starting at average age 5 months. Mice had near normal right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) at time of sacrifice. The Rosa26-rtTA2 transgene drives universal expression of a transactivator, which has no phenotype in the absence of other transgenes - this is thus a control group.
