Regional and strain-specific gene expression mapping in the adult mouse brain.
To determine the genetic causes and molecular mechanisms responsible for neurobehavioral differences in mice, we used highly parallel gene expression profiling to detect genes that are differentially expressed between the 129SvEv and C57BL/6 mouse strains at baseline and in response to seizure. In addition, we identified genes that are differentially expressed in specific brain regions. We foun...
متن کاملEthanol-responsive brain region expression networks: implications for behavioral responses to acute ethanol in DBA/2J versus C57BL/6J mice.
Activation of the mesolimbic dopamine reward pathway by acute ethanol produces reinforcement and changes in gene expression that appear to be crucial to the molecular basis for adaptive behaviors and addiction. The inbred mouse strains DBA/2J and C57BL/6J exhibit contrasting acute behavioral responses to ethanol. We used oligonucleotide microarrays and bioinformatics methods to characterize pat...
متن کاملMurine candidate bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis susceptibility genes identified by gene expression and sequence analysis of linkage regions.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary fibrosis is a complex disease for which the predisposing genetic variants remain unknown. In a prior study, susceptibility to bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis was mapped to loci Blmpf1 and Blmpf2 on chromosomes 17 and 11, respectively, in a C57BL/6J (B6, susceptible) and C3Hf/KAM (C3H, resistant) mouse cross. METHODS Herein, the genetic basis of bleomycin induced pulm...
متن کاملA mouse-based strategy for cyclophosphamide pharmacogenomic discovery.
Genome-wide mapping approaches are needed to more fully understand the genetic basis of chemotherapy response. Because of technical and ethical limitations, cancer pharmacogenomics has not yet benefited from traditional robust familial genetic strategies. We have therefore explored the use of the inbred mouse as a genetic model system in which to study response to the cytotoxic agent cyclophosp...
متن کاملMOUSE GENETIC RESOURCES Transcriptome Atlases of Mouse Brain Reveals Differential Expression Across Brain Regions and Genetic Backgrounds
Mouse models play a crucial role in the study of human behavioral traits and diseases. Variation of gene expression in brain may play a critical role in behavioral phenotypes, and thus it is of great importance to understand regulation of transcription in mouse brain. In this study, we analyzed the role of two important factors influencing steady-state transcriptional variation in mouse brain. ...
