Neocortex Gene Expression Correlates for MDMA_ACT_MDA_1 measured in BXD RI Females & Males obtained using GeneNetwork Neocortex ILM6v1.1 (Feb08) RankInv. The MDMA_ACT_MDA_1 measures Locomotor response of 10 mg/kg MDMA injected on Day 2 under the domain MDMA. The correlates were thresholded at a p-value of less than 0.001.

cocaine related behavior 13 (Cocrb13) spans 85.558736 - 135.558736 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr 12. Obtained from MGI (http://www.informatics.jax.org) by searching for QTLs containing the keyword .
QTL for nicotine sensitivity on Chr12 at D12Mit233 (103.92 Mbp , Build 37)
Description:
nicotine sensitivity spans 78.92 - 128.92 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr12. 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 home cage activity on Chr12 at Xmmv50 (106.21 Mbp , Build 37)
Description:
METH responses for home cage activity spans 81.21 - 131.21 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr12. This interval was obtained by using an interval width of 25 Mbp around the peak marker (Build 37, MGI, http://informatics.jax.org).
Average rotarod training latency Chr# 12 rs13481614 (102385663) with right flanking marker rs33846822 (30605487) and left marker rs29187760 (115166913). This was mapped in 300 + (b6x129)F2 mice.
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.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex psychiatric disorder with strong genetic and environmental risk factors. We studied the molecular perturbations underlying risky drinking behavior by measuring transcriptome changes across the neurocircuitry of addiction in a genetic mouse model of binge drinking. Sixteen generations of selective breeding for high blood alcohol levels after a binge drinking session produced global changes in brain gene expression in alcohol-naïve High Drinking in the Dark (HDID-1) mice. Using gene expression profiles to generate circuit-level hypotheses, we developed a systems approach that integrated regulation of gene coexpression networks across multiple brain regions, neuron-specific transcriptional signatures, and knowledgebase analytics. Whole-cell, voltage-clamp recordings from nucleus accumbens shell neurons projecting to the ventral tegmental area showed differential ethanol-induced plasticity in HDID-1 and control mice and provided support for one of the hypotheses. There were similarities in gene networks between HDID-1 mouse brains and postmortem brains of human alcoholics, suggesting that some gene expression patterns associated with high alcohol consumption are conserved across species. This study demonstrated the value of gene networks for data integration across biological modalities and species to study mechanisms of disease.

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.

Differential gene expression in nucleus accumbens somatostatin interneurons_cocaine_mice_pvalue
Description:
To characterize transcriptional alterations that cocaine induces in these cells, we perform cell type-specific RNA-sequencing on FACS-isolated nuclei of somatostatin interneurons and identified 1100 DETs enriched for processes related to neural plasticity. To profile the entire (non poly-A selected) transcriptome of NAc somatostatin interneurons, we generated a transgenic reporter line (SST-TLG498 mice) to label the nuclei of these cells with a modified form of EGFP that is retained in the nuclear membrane (EGFP-F)22, enabling their isolation from NAc dissections using FACS. We succeeded in FACS-isolating nuclei suitable for RNA-sequencing from individual SST-TLG498 mice. We proceeded with differential expression analysis of the RNA-sequencing data to identify differentially expressed transcripts (DETs) in NAc somatostatin interneurons in response to repeated cocaine exposure: 778 transcripts were upregulated by cocaine and 322 were downregulated.
