Oligonucleotide microarray analysis in postmortem prefrontal cortices of alcoholics. Among about 12,000 genes represented on microarray, a total of 79 genes showed differential expression changes in alcoholics compared with control subjects, consisting of 54 up- and 25 down-regulated genes.

Cerebellum differential expression analysis of genotype by time effects in Pax6 mice and controls. This set contains genes for which there is an additive effect of the mutation and linear increase in both mutant and wild types through time.
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.
Studies involving use of chronic nicotine treatment identify unique nicotine addiction genes and the biological processes they control in C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J mice. The studies are done in five brain regions, amygdale (Amyg), hippocampus (HP), nucleus accumbens (NA), prefrontal cortex (PFC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA). Results are obtained using gene expression profiling via cDNA microarrays and gene ontology. This gene set comprises 36 genes that are corregulated within each of the five brain regions in both C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J mice.

This gene set comprises 15 genes that are downregulated within each of three overrepresented brain regions (nucleus accumbens (NA), prefrontal cortex (PFC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA)) when chronic nicotine treatment is administered to C3H/HeJ mice only. Background: Studies involving use of chronic nicotine treatment identify unique nicotine addiction genes and the biological processes they mediate in C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J mice. The entire study is done in five brain regions, amygdale (Amyg), hippocampus (HP), nucleus accumbens (NA), prefrontal cortex (PFC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA). Results are obtained using gene expression profiling via cDNA microarrays and gene ontology.

A list of genes whose transcript abundance in the PFC changed significantly 4 hours after an acute dose of ethanol (1.8 g/kg). This list was generated using Fisher's Combined Probability test to analyze saline vs ethanol S-scores across B6 and D2 inbred strains (n=3) and 27 BXD RI lines (n=1). Statistical significance was determined using 1,000 permutations of S-score data and selecting for probe-sets with q-values < 0.05. Aaron Wolen 5-26-10.

QTL for ethanol induced activation on Chr16 at D16Mit203 (93.93 Mbp , Build 37)
Description:
ethanol induced activation spans 68.93 - 118.93 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr16. This interval was obtained by using an interval width of 25 Mbp around the peak marker (Build 37, MGI, http://informatics.jax.org).

METH responses for body temperature spans 71.77 - 121.77 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr16. This interval was obtained by using an interval width of 25 Mbp around the peak marker (Build 37, MGI, http://informatics.jax.org).
None - Basal gene expression profiles between C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, 129P3/J, and SWR/J strains DNA microarray Change in gene expression Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). 3,457 probe sets (corresponded to 2,870 different transcripts) with significant inter-strain differences (differ by at least 1.2-fold) - False discovery rate [FDR] < 1%, , rank > 3. Such a large disparity in the mouse striatal transcriptome was estimated by comparing nine array replicates prepared per strain from all of the treatment groups. More than half of the identified probe sets exhibited markedly significant results (1,735 with rank > 7). (NIF Method ID 84.1)
