F2 mice from a hybrid cross of C57BL/6J and FVB/NJ had heightened consumption of EtOH in 2 bottle, water versus ethanol, choice, with accending ethanol levels. Chromosome 11 had multiple suggestive markers, with LOD scores reflecting both additive and dominance variation taken together, as shown in Fig. 5.

Heterozygote mice from a hybrid cross of C57BL/6J and FVB/NJ had heightened EtOH consumption, preference or blood EtOH concentration compared to either homozygous groups. The magnitude of dominant deviation on Chr. 11, as noted in Fig. 9, was measured after a drinking in the dark paradigm, 24hr two-bottle-choice and subsequent blood ethanol concentration measurement.

Chronic cocaine - Cocaine vs. Saline DNA microarray increased expression 20 mg / kg / day for 7 days Pair-wise comparisons were made between all 4 conditions (WT Saline, WT Cocaine, KO Saline, KO Cocaine), which generated 4 lists of genes 1.2-fold differentially expressed with a P < 0.05. Genes that were significantly regulated by these criteria in the first duplicate study and validated directly via qPCR were included in the final lists. (NIF Table ID 36 [42])

Genes that are differentially expressed in adult male C57BL/6J mice given cocaine conditioning vs. saline conditioning. Tissue was collected from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the brain. Gene expression was evaluated via RNA-seq, and differential gene expression was determined via linear regression (LR). Values presented are p-values. Data taken from Supplementary Table 1. Data available from GEO with accession number GSE155313."""

Alcohol transcriptome changes in mice microglia total homogenate p-value
Description:
Microglia are fundamentally important immune cells within the central nervous system (CNS) that respond to environmental challenges to maintain normal physiological processes. Alterations in steady-state cellular function and over-activation of microglia can facilitate the initiation and progression of neuropathological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Major Depressive Disorder. Alcohol consumption disrupts signaling pathways including both innate and adaptive immune responses that are necessary for CNS homeostasis. Coordinate expression of these genes is not ascertained from an admixture of CNS cell-types, underscoring the importance of examining isolated cellular populations to reveal systematic gene expression changes arising from mature microglia. Unbiased RNA-Seq profiling was used to identify gene expression changes in isolated prefrontal cortical microglia in response to recurring bouts of voluntary alcohol drinking behavior. The voluntary ethanol paradigm utilizes long-term consumption ethanol that results in escalated alcohol intake and altered cortical plasticity that is seen in humans. Gene coexpression analysis identified a coordinately regulated group of genes, unique to microglia, that collectively are associated with alcohol consumption. Genes within this group are involved in toll-like receptor signaling and transforming growth factor beta signaling. Network connectivity of this group identified Siglech as a putative hub gene and highlighted the potential importance of proteases in the microglial response to chronic ethanol. In conclusion, we identified a distinctive microglial gene expression signature for neuroimmune responses related to alcohol consumption that provides valuable insight into microglia-specific changes underlying the development of substance abuse, and possibly other CNS disorders.
