摘要:Multi-organ dysfunction is a major complication after spinal cord injury (SCI). In addition to local injury within the spinal cord, SCI causes major disruption to the peripheral organ innervation and regulation. The liver contains sympathetic, parasympathetic, and small sensory axons. The bi-directional signaling of sensory dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons that provide both efferent and afferent information is of key importance as it allows sensory neurons and peripheral organs to affect each other. SCI-induced liver inflammation precedes and may exacerbate intraspinal inflammation and pathology after SCI, which may be modulated by activity and exercise. In this study, we collected comprehensive gene expression data through RNA sequencing of liver tissue from rats with chronic SCI to determine the effects of activity and exercise on those expression patterns. The sequenced data are of high quality and show a high alignment rate to the Rn6 genome. Gene expression is demonstrated for genes associated with known liver pathologies. UCSC Genome Browser expression tracks are provided with the data to facilitate exploration of the samples.
