Fig. 6. Brain region specific expression levels of glucocorticoid signalling regulators.

Fig. 6

Expression levels [FPKM] of the glucocorticoid receptor (Nr3c1, GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (Nr3c2), Fkbp5 and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90ab1) of individual female AT- or CG-allele carriers that experienced ELA or undisturbed maternal care (control) are visualised alongside with the mean ± 95% confidence intervals. Plots are shown separate for hypothalamus (top), ventral hippocampus (middle) and dorsal hippocampus (bottom). Descriptive statistics and an overview of the significant model terms in the ANOVA are provided in the Supplementary Tables 38 and 39. In all three regions, AT- vs. CG-allele carriers expressed less Hsp90 (hypothalamus p = 0.0006, ventral hippocampus p = 0.009, dorsal hippocampus p = 0.009). Fkbp5 was lower expressed in the hippocampi of AT- vs. CG-allele carriers (p = 0.01) and Nr3c2 was lower expressed in the ventral hippocampus of ELA-exposed vs. control mice (p = 0.03) as well as lower expressed in the dorsal hippocampus of AT- vs. CG-allele carriers (p = 0.03).
