Investigation of the mechanisms of MK-801-induced reductions in GABAergic interneurons. Effects of subchronic treatment of MK-801 (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 mg/kg, once daily) during adolescence (PND 29–42) on the density of GAD65/67+ neurons (A) and the protein levels of GAD65/67 (B) the density of apoptotic cells (C) the expression levels of two apoptosis-related molecules (Bax and Bcl-2) and their ratio (D) and expression levels of three CBPs. (E) Representative sections show GAD65/67-immunoreactive neurons (A) and apoptotic cells (C, arrowhead-labeled), respectively, in the cingulate subregion in animals receiving either vehicle or MK-801 (0.2 mg/kg) treatment. n = 4 per group for cell counts and n = 5 per group for other results. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with the vehicle group. Cg, cingulate cortex; PrL, prelimbic cortex; IL, infralimbic cortex.
