Gene in Ethanol Study Datasets
Gene Information
Original ID1:NM_017198
Fold Change:6.6
Tissue:Medial prefrontal (cingulate) cortex
Dataset Information
Name:11772933
Method:Microarray
Tissue:Frontal cortex and amygdala
Phenotype:Ethanol response
Publication:Rimondini et al FASEB J. (2002) Long-lasting increase in voluntary ethanol consumption and transcriptional regulation in the rat brain after intermittent exposure to alcohol. PubMed
Summary:Here we demonstrate that rats subjected to repeated cycles of intoxication and withdrawal develop a marked and long-lasting increase in voluntary ethanol intake. Exposure-induced but not spontaneous alcohol intake is antagonized by acamprosate, a compound clinically effective in human alcoholism. Expression analysis of cingulate cortex and amygdala reveals a set of long-term up-regulated transcripts in this model. Here lists the gene expression changes 3 wk after termination of 7 wk of intermittent ethanol exposure. Fold change values are ethanol exposed vs. control rats.
Gene Information
Original ID1:29431
Fold Change:0.511
P Value:0.008
Note:Fold change is average ratio of AA to ANA.
Dataset Information
Name:15846778
Method:Microarray
Tissue:Frontal cortex
Phenotype:Alcohol-preferring, alcohol-nonpreferring
Publication:Worst et al. J Neurosci Res. (2005) Transcriptome analysis of frontal cortex in alcohol-preferring and nonpreferring rats. PubMed
Summary:DNA macroarrays were used to probe for differences in normative cortical gene expression between rat strains genetically selected for alcohol selfadministration preference, AA (Alko, alcohol) and P (Indiana, preferring), or avoidance, ANA (Alko, nonalcohol) and NP (Indiana, nonpreferring). Among 1,176 genes studied, six demonstrated confirmable, differential expression following comparison of ethanol-naive AA and ANA rats.
