MicroRNA expression data from CIE-vapor treated mice

We examined microRNA expression profiles in amygdala (AMY), nucleus accumbens (NAC) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) of male C57BL/6J mice exposed to 4 cycles of chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) vapor. Animals were sacrificed at 0, 8, and 120 hr following the last ethanol exposure. Mice were exposed to 4 cycles of intermittent vapor [4 days of 16 hours vapor/ 8 hours air] with a week between each cycle. Before entry into the vapor chambers, animals were injected with pyrazole (1 mMol/kg) and either ethanol (1.6 g/kg) or saline (controls). Animals were sacrificed at 0, 8, and 120 hr following the last ethanol exposure. All groups contained 8 animals except: AMY 120hr control (7 animals), NAC 0hr CIE-treated (7 animals), NAC 8hr control (6 animals), PFC 0hr control (7 animals)
