Knocking-down of IL-1β in the vmPFC decreased neuronal apoptosis within the vmPFC of stressed rats. (A) TUNEL positive apoptotic cells (indicated by the arrows) in vmPFC regions infected with AAV-IL-1β RNAi construct. (B) Histograms showing the decreased TUNEL positive cells caused by AAV-IL-1β RNAi construct infusion. (C) nuclear chromatin abnormalities in vmPFC neurons infected with the AAV-IL-1β RNAi construct. Arrows indicate nuclear chromatin aggregation, condensation and margination. N = 6/group. P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001 Stressed rats vs. WT rats. #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 S+AAV-IL-1β RNAi vs. Stressed rats.
