Gene in Ethanol Study Datasets

Gene Information

Original ID1:		Rn.13142
Fold Change:		1.43
P Value:		0.00073
Note:		Lower levels in the hippocampus of iP than iNP rats

Dataset Information

Name:		15660665
Method:		Microarray
Tissue:		Hippocampus
Phenotype:		Alcohol-preferring, alcohol-nonpreferring
Publication:		Edenberg et al. Genes Brain Behav. (2005) Gene expression in the hippocampus of inbred alcohol-preferring and -nonpreferring rats. PubMed
Summary:		The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that there are innate differences in gene expression in the hippocampus of inbred alcohol-preferring (iP) and -nonpreferring (iNP) rats that may contribute to differences in sensitivity to ethanol and/or in the development of tolerance. Affymetrix microarrays were used to measure gene expression in the hippocampus of alcohol-naive male iP and iNP rats in two experiments (n = 4 and 6 per strain in the two experiments). Combining data from the two experiments, there were 137 probesets representing 129 genes that significantly differed (P ? 0.01).

Dataset Information

Name:		17517326
Method:		Microarray
Tissue:		Nucleus accumbens, amygdala, frontal cortex, caudate-putamen, and hippocampus
Phenotype:		Alcohol-preferring, alcohol-nonpreferring
Publication:		Kimpel et al. Alcohol. (2007) Functional gene expression differences between inbred alcohol-preferring and -non-preferring rats in five brain regions. PubMed
Summary:		The objective of this study was to determine if there are innate differences in gene expression in selected CNS regions between inbred alcohol-preferring (iP) and -non-preferring (iNP) rats. Gene expression was determined in the nucleus accumbens (ACB), amygdala (AMYG), frontal cortex (FC), caudate-putamen (CPU), and hippocampus (HIPP) of alcohol-naive adult male iP and iNP rats, using Affymetrix Rat Genome U34A microarrays (n = 6/strain). Using Linear Modeling for Microarray Analysis with a false discovery rate threshold of 0.1, there were 16 genes with differential expression in the ACB, 54 in the AMYG, 8 in the FC, 24 in the CPU, and 21 in the HIPP. All the fold change are iP vs. iNP fold change.
