title: Gene expression profiles in the brain from phencyclidine-treated mouse by using DNA microarray.
abstract: Recently DNA microarray technology has been introduced into analyses of comprehensive biological functions. This DNA microarray is a new technology for simultaneous analysis to examine expression patterns of thousands of genes. It was thought that this technique should be very useful for examination of cellular and molecular mechanisms of drugs of abuse: cocaine, amphetamine, and others. This technology was therefore applied for the rapid analysis of gene expression in the brain from phencyclidine-treated mice. Mainly mouse DNA microarray was examined by using labeled cDNAs produced from a control mouse brain mRNA and from brain mRNA of mouse exposed to drugs as probes. Some changes in a probe from brain mRNA of drug-treated mouse could be observed, but it was necessary to examine another DNA microarray, including more samples from the brain.
