ASCT2 downregulation in the hippocampus alleviated depression-like behavior in CSDS mice. (A) mRNA expression of Asct2 after being infected by lentiviruses carrying Asct2-specific (Lenti-535, Lenti-1127, and Lenti-1234) (shASCT2) or scrambled (shSCR) GFP-labeled shRNA, in HT22 hippocampal cells (n = 3, **p < 0.01, shASCT2 vs. shSCR; unpaired t-test). (B) Infected region of shASCT2-1127 in the hippocampus. (C,D) Effects of shASCT2 on depression-like behavior in Control (Con) and CSDS mice: the social interaction (C) and forced swim test (D) (n = 7–10; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; two-way ANOVA).
