The current study used two inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6 J and A/J, to investigate the genetics of behavioral responses to fentanyl. Mice were tested for conditioned place preference and fentanyl-induced locomotor activity. C57BL/6J mice formed a conditioned place preference to fentanyl injections and fentanyl increased their activity. Neither effect was noted in A/J mice. We conducted RNA-sequencing on the nucleus accumbens of mice used for fentanyl-induced locomotor activity. Surprisingly, we noted few differentially expressed genes using treatment as the main factor. However many genes differed between strains.

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.

Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays to assess gene expression in brains of mice selectively bred for differences in acute functional tolerance to an incoordinating effect of ethanol (HAFT mice, high acute functional tolerance; LAFT mice, low acute functional tolerance)
This gene set comprises 399 genes that are differentially expressed within each of five brain regions (amygdale, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex and ventral tegmental area) 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 control in B6 and C3 mice. Results are obtained using gene expression profiling and gene ontology.

F2 mice from a hybrid cross of C57BL/6J and FVB/NJ had heightened consumption of EtOH in 2 bottle, water versus ethanol, choice, with accending ethanol levels. Chromosome 11 had multiple suggestive markers, with LOD scores reflecting both additive and dominance variation taken together, as shown in Fig. 5.

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.
