Differentially expressed in the Nucleus accumbens following 24 hr continuous 9.5g/kg/day alcohol drinking vs. water drinking in alcohol preferring rats. Estimated BAC in the alcohol exposed group was > 85mg%. The 406 significanlty different probe sets represent 374 uniquely named genes, with most gene expression differences in the range of 1.1-1.3 fold.
Young and aged male Long-Evans rats were behaviorally tested at 4–5 mo and 24 mo respectively. CA3 was microdissected from 500 micron transverse sections of the hippocampus along its entire longitudinal extent from aged and young behaviorally characterized Long Evans rats. Total RNA samples were sent to the Johns Hopkins Microarray core facility for cRNA labeling and hybridization to Affymetrix rat 230 2.0 microarrays using standard Affymetrix recommended procedures. P-value of learning index correlations was uploaded.
Activation of the mesolimbic dopamine reward pathway by acute ethanol produces reinforcement and changes in gene expression that appear to be crucial to the molecular basis for adaptive behaviors and addiction. The inbred mouse strains DBA/2J and C57BL/6J exhibit contrasting acute behavioral responses to ethanol. We used oligonucleotide microarrays and bioinformatics methods to characterize patterns of gene expression in three brain regions of the mesolimbic reward pathway of these strains. Expression profiling included examination of both differences in gene expression 4 h after saline injection or acute ethanol (2 g/kg). Using a rigorous stepwise method for microarray analysis, we identified 788 genes differentially expressed in control DBA/2J versus C57BL/6J mice and 307 ethanol-regulated genes in the nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, and ventral tegmental area. There were strikingly divergent patterns of ethanol-responsive gene expression in the two strains. Ethanol-responsive genes also showed clustering at discrete chromosomal regions, suggesting local chromatin effects in regulation. Ethanol-regulated genes were generally related to neuroplasticity, but regulation of discrete functional groups and pathways was brain region specific: glucocorticoid signaling, neurogenesis, and myelination in the prefrontal cortex; neuropeptide signaling and developmental genes, including factor Bdnf, in the nucleus accumbens; and retinoic acid signaling in the ventral tegmental area. Bioinformatics analysis identified several potential candidate genes for quantitative trait loci linked to ethanol behaviors, further supporting a role for expression profiling in identifying genes for complex traits. Brain region-specific changes in signaling and neuronal plasticity may be critical components in development of lasting ethanol behavioral phenotypes such as dependence, sensitization, and craving.

Chronic cocaine - Cocaine-paired (conditioned place preference) vs. Control (saline or cocaine-non-paired) DNA microarray All genes on microarray presented After the pre-conditioning phase where animals were allowed access to either compartment for 15 minutes for 4 consecutive days, the conditioning phase for the cocaine-paired groups and cocaine non-paired groups began, consisting of eight subsequent daily sessions. For both groups, cocaine (10 mg / kg) or saline injections were administered on alternate days. For the cocaine-paired groups, rats were immediately placed in one of the two compartments for 30 min with the door in place restricting a z transformation followed by z test and anova followed by Student-Newman-Keuls' post hoc test. Gene expression profile was assessed 24 h after the last conditioning session that corresponded to 48 h after last cocaine exposure, when drug has been eliminated from the body and transient transcriptional changes are likely to be minimal. Therefore, changes in gene expression at this time-point are likely to reflect longer lasting adaptations that may account for maintenance of cocaine-induced memories. The complete lists of normalized gene expression values for the hippocampus of saline-treated, cocaine non-paired and cocaine-paired groups are presented. Analyses revealed that 214 transcripts were differentially regulated in the hippocampus of cocaine-paired rats vs. non-paired and saline-treated controls. Cocaine-induced conditioned place preference caused significant increases in the expression of 151 genes and caused decreases in the expression of 63 genes. (NIF Table ID 130.1 [83])

The complete lists of normalized gene expression values for the frontal cortex of saline-treated, cocaine non-paired and cocaine-paired groups are presented. Differences in the expression of 39 transcripts in the frontal cortex were related to the conditioned place preference paradigm. These include increases in the level of 22 genes and decreases in 17 genes. (NIF Table ID 130.3 [83.5])

Acute nicotine - Nicotine vs. Saline DNA microarray Change in gene expression All the animals received a subcutaneous saline injection once daily for 5 days to habituate them to the injection process. On day 6, animals received a subcutaneous injection of saline or nicotine in saline (2 mg / kg). Animals were killed by cervical dislocation 1, 2, 4, or 6 h following saline or nicotine injection. S-score (significance score) algorithm Change in expression at 6 hours. S-scores (significance score) > / = 2 or < / = -2 consistently in two adjacent time-points from the 1-, 2-, 4- and 6-h time-points. For a comparison between two arrays, an S-score of 2 or ?2 corresponds to a P value of 0.046. (NIF Table ID 339 [192])
