Combined effects of maternal separation (MS) stress and social defeat stress (SDS) on the transcription of β-catenin-related genes in the prelimbic/infralimbic cortex compared to control (Con) animals. Quantification of real-time PCR data using primers specific for Axin 1 (A), Axin 2 (B), Dicer (C), GSK3β (D), DVL-1 (E), DVL-2 (F), DVL-3 (G), and β-catenin (H). Black bars show data from control mice not subjected to SDS; grey bars show data from mice exposed to SDS. Δ indicates significant main effect of SDS, * indicates a significant main effect of MS, ‘x’ denotes significant MS by SDS interaction by two way ANOVA. N = 8 mice per group.
