摘要:Anastasis is a cell recovery mechanism that rescues dying cells from the brink of death . Reversal of apoptosis is the frst example of anastasis . Here, we describe a comprehensive dataset containing time- course mRNA expression profles for reversal of ethanol-induced apoptosis in mouse primary liver cells in νitro . This transcriptome dataset includes the conditions of the untreated cells, cells undergoing apoptosis triggered by incubating with cell death inducer of 4 .5% ethanol for 5 hours, and apoptosis reversal of ethanol-induced cells at the early (3rd hour), middle (6th hour), and late (24th, 48th hour) stages after being washed with and incubated in fresh cell culture medium . By comparing this dataset with the transcriptomic profles of other anastasis models generated with diferent combinations of cell types and cell death inducers, investigators can identify the key regulators governing reversal of apoptosis and other reversible cell death processes . Therefore, reusing or reanalysing this dataset will facilitate the future studies on the physiological, pathological, and therapeutic implications of anastasis .
