Administration of vpa to female NMRI on gestation day 8 induces a high incidence of ntd. In this study we investigate the time dependent gene expression changes induced in the embryo 1.5, 3 respectively 6 hr after maternal sodium valproate treatment.

Females were mated with males for 2 h at the end of the dark period (8 AM-10 AM). Females were checked for vaginal plugs, and the midpoint of the mating period was taken as time of conception. On day 8.0 past conception (8.0 dpc), pregnant dams were subjected to intraperitoneal injection of 600 mg/kg body weight sodium valproate (Sigma) in 0.9% saline; control mice received saline only. For microarray analysis, embryos were harvested in PBS (pH 7.4), 1.5, 3 respectively 6 h post treatment (8.25 dpc) and then transferred to Trizol reagent (Invitrogen), homogenized and stored at -70°C until further use. Pooling_embryos To get sufficient amount of total RNA and overcome variations between litters, total RNA origin from embryos from three dams were pooled for each treatment and time. Pool 1_1.5 hr_control: embryos from mice 35+43+47. Pool 2_1.5 hr_control: 39+40+48. Pool 3_1.5 hr_treated: 36+37+46. Pool 4_1.5 hr_treated: 41+42+45. Pool 5_3 hr_control: 60+61+65. Pool 6_3 hr control: 59+62+63. Pool 7_3 hr_treated: 50+56+57. Pool 8_3 hr_treated: 49+51+55. Pool 9_6 hr_control: 22+23+28. Pool 10_6 hr_control: 32+33+34. Pool 11_6 hr_treated: 24+26+27. Pool 12_6 hr_treated: 25+29+30. Freeze stored Trizol lysates were thawed and separated by addition of chloroform and subsequent centrifugation. The upper aqueous phase were then mixed with isopropyl alcohol and centrifuged at 12000 g for 10 min to precipitate RNA. Total RNA was washed once with 75% ethanol and solved in RNase-free water, concentration determined with NanoDrop and quality checked with Agilent bioanalyzer, and subsequently stored in -70 °C. Briefly, 0.5 µg total RNA was mixed with T7 Promotor Primer and with cDNA master mix (first strand buffer, DTT, dNTP mix, MMLV RT and RNaseOUT) and incubated at 40˚C for 2 hrs to synthesis cDNA. cDNA was then mixed with either cyanine 3-CTP or cyanine 5-CTP and subsequently mixed with Transcription Master Mix (Nuclease-free water, Transcription buffer, DTT, nTP mix, 50 % PEG, RNaseOUT, inorganic Pyrophosphatase and T7 RNA Polymerase) and incubated at 40˚C for 2 hrs. cRNA was recovered using Qiagen´s RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and concentration determination was made with NanoDrop instrument.

Fragmented cRNA was then mixed with Hybridization Buffer and hybridized on Agilent oligo microarray at 60˚C for 17 hrs. After washes with Wash solution (nuclease-free water, SSC and Triton X-102) arrays were dried using nitrogen-filled air gun. Scanning of Agilent oligo microarrays was carried out on a GenePix 4000B scanner (Axon Instruments) with a pixel size of 10µm using GenePix Pro 5.1.0.4, utilizing the option to find irregular features. Scan power was set to 100% and the photomultiplier tube (PMT) voltage settings were adjusted to completely saturate less than 0.1% of the spots and give about the same total intensity in both channels. To remove systematic sources of variation for the Agilent microarrays, global loess normalization was done (Yang et al., 2002), in which different types of quality control spots were removed and the relative weight of 0.1 was given to spots flagged as missing or bad. Global loess normalization was used instead of local loess normalization, since all spots are spotted in a single block. Although all four arrays for each time point studied compare a treatment with a control, the arrays are not independent. To take account the fact that RNA from each pool of embryos appears on two different arrays a linear model (Smyth, 2004) was fitted with a coefficient for each sample and then a contrast was extracted from treated and control samples for each individual time point. To remove replicate spots with high variation, spots with a standard deviation >1.3 for each time point was also removed. The normalized data are presented as log2-ratios.
