The microRNA (miRNA) assay identified 23 miRNAs with lower expression levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of the Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) depression model (supplementary Table 2), and we selected 9 of them for individual validation experiments. Eight of the 9 miRNAs reached statistical significance (miR-10a, P=.046; miR-101b, P = .011; miR-107, P = .02; miR-124, P = .03; miR-125a, P = .048; miR-125b, P = .2; miR-133a, P = .03; miR-181a, P = .032, and miR-199a, P = .029). Data are presented as relative quantifications (R.Q.) ± SEM. Levels of Rnu5g were used as reference for normalization of mature miRNA expression levels (n = 6–7 animals/group; n = 1 outlier/group),*P < .05.
