Amygdala and hippocampus-based expression changes in miRNA targets across 3 comparison groups (nonlearned helplessness [NLH], learned helplessness [LH], and tested control [TC]). (a–i) All data are normalized with Gapdh and presented as the mean ± SEM. Significance level is indicated with an asterisk sign (*P ≤0.05). qPCR-based expression changes in miRNA targets Wnt3, Wnt3a, Wnt5a, Wnt5b, Wnt9b, Dvl1, Lef1, Tcf20, and Gsk3β in LH and NLH groups independently compared with TC. Expression-related significant differences in Wnt3 (P = .033), Wnt3a (P = .042), Wnt5a (P = .045), Wnt5b (P = .044), Wnt9b (P = .031), Dvl1 (P = .047), Lef1 (P = .053), and Gsk3b (P = .026) genes were noted in the LH vs the NLH group. Significant changes in expression were also noted for Wnt5b (P = .007), Tcf20 (P = .045), and Gsk3b (P = .017) genes when the NLH group was compared with the TC group. Group comparison between LH and TC rats identified significant changes in expression of Wnt3a (P = .03), Wnt5b (P = .043), Wnt9b (P = .008), Dvl1 (P = .029), and Lef1 (P = .019) genes. (j–m). All data are normalized with Gapdh and presented as the mean ± SEM. qPCR-based expression change of miRNA targets Wnt3a, Wnt5b, Dvl1, and Lef1 in hippocampus of LH and NLH groups independently compared with TC. Expression-related significant differences were only noted in Wnt3a (P < .005) gene when the LH group was compared with the TC group.
