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_logFC
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.

QTL for METH responses for body temperature on Chr8 at D8Ncvs43 (95.66 Mbp , Build 37)
Description:
METH responses for body temperature spans 70.66 - 120.66 Mbp (NCBI Build 37) on Chr8. This interval was obtained by using an interval width of 25 Mbp around the peak marker (Build 37, MGI, http://informatics.jax.org).
Alcohol preference QTL 1 spans 26931283-76931283 (NCBI Build 37) on Chr9. This interval was obtained by using an interval width of 25 Mbp around the peak marker (Build 37, MGI, http://informatics.jax.org). Phenotypically extreme HAP1/LAP1 animals (n=96) and HAP2/LAP2 animals (n=48) were screened for microsatellite markers in chromosomal regions previously reported to influence alcohol preference phenotypes. Linkage to alcohol preference, Alpq1, mapped to chromosome 9 near D9Mit4 (29 cM) in the HAP1/LAP1 set and near D9Mit90 (9 cM) in the HAP2/LAP2 set. The Alpq1 QTL interval is broad and may contain more than 1 underlying gene. Drd2 at 28 cM is a potential candidate for Alpq1.
