Expression data from striatum of a mouse model of Huntington´s disease (HD) (HdhQ111/Q111) crossed with mGluR5 knockout mice (mGluR5-/-) and their respective controls (HdhQ20/Q20 and mGluR5+/+).. Mus musculus

To try to investigate the mechanism behind the adaptive phenotypes observed in a mice model model of HD crossed with mGluR5 knockout, we analyzed whether mutated huntingtin (Htt) expression in a mGluR5 null background could be altering the expression of genes that might be involved in the pattern of Htt aggregation and HD-related locomotor alterations. In this data set, we include analysis of gene expression in striatum of mice with four different genotypes: HdhQ20/Q20/mGluR5+/+; HdhQ20/Q20/mGluR5-/- ; HdhQ111/Q111/mGluR5+/+ ; HdhQ111/Q111/mGluR5-/- Overall design: 12 samples were analyzed. We used Partek Genomics Suite v6.5 (Partek, St. Louis, MO) to determine differences in gene expression levels. Genotype effects were considered significant based of the following criteria: (i) ANOVA p-values< 0.05 and (ii) 1.5 fold increase or decrease.
