Multi-omic investigations of mouse liver subjected to simulated spaceflight freezing and storage protocols

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 07, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-04-23
This study compares standard laboratory protocols for tissue freezing and storage with a simulation of the delayed processing of liver specimens and long-term storage protocols used during the Rodent Research-1 (RR-1) payload. Liver samples from twelve-week old female C57/BL6 mice (snap frozen vs. 25 min. slow-frozen and stored for 3 days vs. 1 year) received from the RR-1 project were processed for extraction of RNA DNA and protein. RNA-seq whole genome bisulfite sequencing and mass spectrometry proteomics were performed. These multi-omics datasets will help distinguish the effects of freezing and storage time that could confound the interpretation of the Rodent Research-1 datasets.
