Genome-wide association studies are conducted of two human cohorts, one group demonstrating nicotine dependence and another successfully quitting smoking. Study shows that some genetic components associated with the ability to quit overlap while many do not overlap. To perform the study, DNA samples were obtained from NIH volunteers and the allelic frequencies of the samples were analyzed using Affymetrix array analysis. This gene set comprises 290 genes associated with nicotine dependence.

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])

Linkage analysis was performed on a series of Recombinant QTL Introgression (RQI) strains (derived from C57BL/6ByJ and BALB/cJ) to identify QTLs associated with alcohol preference. Male animals from each of 13 RQI strains were tested for 12% alcohol preference and genotyped at 244 polymorphic loci with an average spacing of 6.6 cM. Progenitor strain C57BL/6ByJ exhibits higher alcohol preference than progenitor strain BALB/cJ. Significant linkage to 12% alcohol preference (P<0.0002) mapped to a region of mouse Chromosome 15 spanning markers D15Mit159 (49.6 cM), D15Mit34 (52.2 cM), and D15Mit242 (55.6 cM). The experiment was done in duplicate and the same 3 chromosome 15 markers were detected each time. This locus is named Alprf (alcohol preference.) BALB/cJ-derived alleles confer increased alcohol preference at this locus. Potential candidate genes mapping near Alprf include Ecgf1 (51.6 cM), Cntn1 (55.1 cM), Kif21a (55.1 cM), Pou6f1 (56.6 cM), and Aqp5 (56.8 cM).

In the present study Aaq1, a previously mapped QTL on mouse Chromosome 15 linked to alcohol acceptance, is confirmed using a (C57BL/6J x DBA/2J)F2 population. Aaq1 mapped to 15 cM (D15Mit60)- 48 cM (D15Mit34) on mouse Chromosome 15 with a peak LOD score of 3.8 at approximately 30 cM. C57BL/6J-derived alleles confer increased alcohol acceptance in a dominant fashion at Aaq1. A potential candidate gene for Aaq1 is the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor gene, Bzrp.
