QTL for METH responses for home cage activity on Chr6 at II5ra (101.18 Mbp , Build 37)
Description:
METH responses for home cage activity spans 76.18 - 126.18 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr6. This interval was obtained by using an interval width of 25 Mbp around the peak marker (Build 37, MGI, http://informatics.jax.org).
QTL for ethanol conditioned taste aversion on Chr6 at D6Mit13 (131.68 Mbp , Build 37)
Description:
ethanol conditioned taste aversion spans 106.68 - 156.68 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr6. This interval was obtained by using an interval width of 25 Mbp around the peak marker (Build 37, MGI, http://informatics.jax.org).
QTL for METH responses for body temperature on Chr6 at Nmdar2b (134.27 Mbp , Build 37)
Description:
METH responses for body temperature spans 109.27 - 159.27 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr6. This interval was obtained by using an interval width of 25 Mbp around the peak marker (Build 37, MGI, http://informatics.jax.org).
Here, female High Drinking in the Dark (HDID) mice were stereotaxically injected with 0.5uL rAAV2/5-CMV-Cre-GFP and 0.5uL rAAV2-hSyn-DIO-hM3Dq-mCherry bilaterally into the NAc. A Drinking in the Dark (DID) experiment lasting 6 weeks was carried out with 2 fluid groups (water or ethanol) and 2 treatment groups (VEH/VEH/VEH or VEH/CNO/VEH). Mice were serially treated with vehicle prior to DID during week 1 to establish baseline drinking, CNO (1mg/kg) during weeks 2-5 to measure the effects of chronic treatment, and then mice were treated with vehicle again during week 6 to determine if there were any lasting effects of chronic CNO treatment. This gene set comprises 1,157 genes that were differentially expressed in water drinking HDID mice treated with CNO as compared to the water drinking and vehicle treated control group (H2O(CNO) vs H2O(VEH)).

This gene set comprises 612 genes that were uniquely differentially expressed in the nucleus accumbens of only H2O drinking HDID mice treated with CNO as compared to the water drinking and vehicle treated control group.

Drug Naïve DO mice were tested for open field, light dark, hole board, novelty place preference before collecting the striatum. RNA-Seq data was analyzed with WGCNA using a soft thresholding power of 3 selected using the WGCNA scale-free topology R2 threshold of 0.9, signed network with a minimum module size of 30, correlation type is bicor, used numeric labels.
The current study used two inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6 J and A/J, to investigate the genetics of behavioral responses to fentanyl. Mice were tested for conditioned place preference and fentanyl-induced locomotor activity. C57BL/6J mice formed a conditioned place preference to fentanyl injections and fentanyl increased their activity. Neither effect was noted in A/J mice. We conducted RNA-sequencing on the nucleus accumbens of mice used for fentanyl-induced locomotor activity. Surprisingly, we noted few differentially expressed genes using treatment as the main factor. However many genes differed between strains.
