DESCRIPTION:
Chronic cocaine - Cocaine vs. Control DNA microarray Change in gene expression Cocaine users (n = 10) exhibited a positive toxicology for cocaine and / or its metabolites. Control subjects (n = 10) were matched pair-wise with cocaine users for manner of death, age, gender, and race. Of the 20 subjects, two cocaine and two control subjects tested positive for subintoxicating doses of alcohol (g / dL < or = to 0.07) but did not exhibit common signs of chronic alcohol abuse, and alcohol did not have predictive value in hierarchical clustering of subjects based on gene express Affymetrix Microarray Suite 5.0 software package. Subjects were analyzed in pairs, comparing each cocaine sample with its matched control. Significant differences between subject pairs were calculated using the Wilcoxon signed rank test (p < or = to 0.05). Post-hoc examination confirmed the statistical significance of differential expression for the majority of transcripts (Mann-Whitney U-test, p < or = to 0.05; data not shown). Transcripts increased or decreased in the majority (> or = to 6 of 10) of pairs, representing only 0.2% of the total transcripts, were considered differentially expressed. Transcripts meeting this criterion were examined posthoc for statistical significance using Mann?Whitney U-tests (p < or = to 0.05). (NIF Table ID 145 [114])
