Abstract | Background: Alcohol exposure alters the expression of a large number of genes, resulting in neuronal adaptions and neuronal loss, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. miRNAs are gene repressors that are abundant in the brain. A recent study identified ~ 35 miRNAs that are up-regulated in the prefrontal cortex of human alcoholics and predicted to target genes that are down-regulated in the same region. Although interactions between alcohol-responsive miRNAs and their target genes have been predicted, few studies have validated these predictions. Methods: We measured the expression of GABA Results: In both frontal and motor cortices, the expression of GABA Conclusion: There are sex differences in the expression of GABA |
