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.

Genes that are upregulated in adult male C57BL/6J mice given acute cocaine vs. acute saline. 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 the Bayesian-regulated t-test (BayT). Values presented are p-values. Data taken from Supplementary Table 1. Data available from GEO with accession number GSE155313."""

Chronic alcohol in mice DEG in astrocytes microglia p-value
Description:
Astrocytes play critical roles in central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis and are implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including drug dependence. Little is known about the effects of chronic ethanol consumption on astrocyte gene expression. To address this gap in knowledge, we performed transcriptome-wide RNA sequencing of astrocytes isolated from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of mice following chronic ethanol consumption. Differential expression analysis revealed ethanol-induced changes unique to astrocytes that were not identified in total homogenate preparations. Astrocyte-specific gene expression revealed calcium-related signaling and regulation of extracellular matrix genes as responses to chronic ethanol use. These findings emphasize the importance of investigating expression changes in specific cellular populations to define molecular consequences of chronic ethanol consumption in mammalian brain. Reported are differentially expressed genes in total homogenate after EOD (p < 0.05).
