Mitochondria-related gene expression in chronically stressed mice and major depression subjects. (A) Enrichment analyses of mitochondria-associated genes encoded by nuclear DNA (nDNA) or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in mCRS and unstressed CTR mice (n = 15/group, PFC; n = 16/group, NAc), chronic variable stress (CVS) mice (PFC: n = 19/group, NAc: n = 20/group) and post-mortem tissue of major depression disorder (MDD; n = 16, ventromedial (vm) PFC; n = 16, NAc) and healthy (CTR; n = 15, vmPFC; n = 17, NAc) subjects. Red, enrichment for up-regulation; blue, enrichment for down-regulation. Data of CVS mice and MDD subjects were reanalyzed from a previously published transcriptome dataset20. (B) Barcode plots for mitochondria-associated genes encoded by nDNA or mtDNA DNA in the PFC of mice exposed to mCRS and of MDD subjects. (C) Gene expression of mtDNA encoded genes in the PFC of mice (p values from generalized linear model). Data are displayed as mean ± SEM. *, p < 0.05, **, p < 0.01, ***, p < 0.001.
