QTL-Mec6-Mouse-Chr 15 |
Description: |
Acute and chronic alcohol exposure was analyzed in 534 (C57BL/6J x C3H/HeJ)F2 mice. Behavioral testing was done using 5 traits, acute drug effect, forced ethanol drinking, withdrawal studies ethanol preference and stress induced ethanol drinking. The following QTL were found in a genome wide scan: Following the QTL is the Chromosome , cM location, and LOD score, Eih1 (Chr 1, 85 cM, LOD 6.6), Eih2 (Chr 7, 10 cM, LOD 3.6), Ceih1 (Chr 3, 55 cM, LOD 4.1), Ceih2 (Chr 6, 24.7 cM, LOD 4.1), Ceih3 (Chr 13, 39 cM, LOD 4.1), Eia1(Chr 1, 65 cM, LOD 10.3 and 10.4), Eiwa1 (Chr 7, 50 cM, LOD 4.4), Eiwa2(Chr 11, 43.1 cM, LOD 4.1),Aldd1(Chr 5, 42 cM, LOD 13.2), Aldd2(Chr 12, 18 cM, LOD 5.3),Eiwax1(Chr 1, 79 cM, LOD 6.5), Eiwax2(Chr 5, 59 cM, LOD 15.0), Eiwax3(Chr 12, 21 cM, LOD 3.6), Methp1(Chr 16, 31.4 cM, LOD 4.3), Mec1(Chr 16, 19.4 cM, LOD 5.1), Epbs1(Chr 16, 33 cM, LOD 4.1), Ecbs1(Chr 16, 29.4 cM, LOD 4.8), Mec2(Chr 1, 109 cM, LOD 3.9), Mec3(Chr 2, 109 cM, LOD 4.3), Mec4(Chr 5, 29 cM, LOD 3.9), Mec5(Chr 10, 2 cM, LOD 5.0), Mec6(Chr 15, 49 cM, LOD 5.2, 95% CI 6.7–56.7).

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.
