Western blot analysis of Dpysl2 expression in the brains of PNS-induced rats. (A) Dpysl2 expression was detected by western blotting with Actb used as an internal control. PNS rats exhibited decreased Dpysl2 expression in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. (B) Quantitative analysis of western blot data for Dpysl2 expression showing a significant difference in Dpysl2 levels in PNS vs. control rat brains (^*P<0.05 compared with the NS group in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus). Dpysl2, dihydropyrimidinase-like 2; FC, prefrontal cortex; Hipp, hippocampus; NS, non-prenatal stressed offspring; PNS, prenatal stressed offspring; SD, standard deviation.
