Existing pharmacological and behavioral treatments for AUD are minimally effective and underutilized. Animal model behavioral genetics and human genome-wide association studies have begun to identify individual genes contributing to the progressive compulsive consumption of ethanol that occurs with AUD, promising possible new therapeutic targets. Our laboratory has previously identified\n                  <jats:italic>Gsk3b<\/jats:italic>\n                  as a central member in a network of ethanol-responsive genes in mouse prefrontal cortex, which altered ethanol consumption with genetic manipulation and was also significantly associated with risk for alcohol dependence in human genome-wide association studies. Here we perform detailed brain RNA sequencing transcriptomic studies to characterize a highly specific and clinically available GSK3B pharmacological inhibitor, tideglusib, as a possible therapeutic for clinical trials on treatment of AUD. A model of chronic intermittent ethanol consumption was used to study gene expression changes in prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens in the presence or absence of tideglusib treatment. Multivariate analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that tideglusib largely reversed ethanol- induced expression changes for two prominent clusters of genes in both prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens. Bioinformatic analysis showed these genes to have prominent roles in neuronal functioning and synaptic activity. Additionally, mouse brain differential gene expression data was analyzed together with human protein-protein interaction and genome-wide association studies on AUD to derive networks responding to tideglusib and relevant to human genetic risk for alcohol dependence. These studies identified discrete networks significantly enriched with genes provisionally associated with AUD, and provide key information on central hubs of such networks. Together these studies document tideglusib as a major modulator of chronic ethanol consumption-evoked brain gene expression signatures, and identify possible new targets for therapeutic modulation of AUD.\n
