Brain transcriptome profiles in mouse model simulating features of post-traumatic stress disorder

ABSTRACT: Social stress mouse models were used to simulate human post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). C57B/6 mice exposed to SJL aggressor mice exhibited behaviors accepted as PTSD-in-mouse phenotype: 'frozen' motion, aggressor’s barrier avoidance, startled jumping, and retarded locomotion. Transcripts in hippocampus, amygdala, medial prefrontal cortex, ventral striatum (nucleus acumbens), septal region, corpus striatum, hemi-brain, blood, spleen and heart of stressed and control C57B/6 mice were analyzed using Agilent’s mouse genome-wide arrays. C57B6 mice were exposed to SJL aggressor mice for periods of 5 days and 10days (6 hours each day) to induce anxiety/stress which parallels to PTSD in human Organs, blood and brain regions were collected after 24 hours and 1.5 week of post 5 days social
