Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) IPA comparison analysis of upstream pathways. (b) A schematic illustration of the IL4-STAT6 signaling pathway. (c) Immunofluorescence image (left) and quantification of S100a10 (right) in DRN of SSRI-treated mice at each time points. Scale bar, 200 μm (top pannel), 20 μm (middle and bottom panels). n = 9-10. **P < 0.01, compared to 0 day, one-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s post hoc test. (d) Immunofluorescence image (left) and quantification of pSTAT6 (phosphor Y641) (right) in DRN of SSRI-treated mice at each time point. Scale bar, 20 μm. n = 9-10. *P < 0.01, compared to 0 day, one-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s post hoc test. (e) ELISA measurements for IL-4 (left) and IL-13 (middle) levels of DRN at each time point after SSRI treatment. Total protein levels of DRN samples measured by BCA assay (right). n = 9-10. Data presented as means ± s.e.m. n = 9-10. *P < 0.01, compared to 0 day, one-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s post hoc test. (f) An illustration of the STAT6 mutant used in the following experiments. (g) Luciferase activity of 48 h posttransfection of hSTAT6 YF or pcDNA in either unstimulated HepG2 cells or cells that had been treated with IL-4 6 h prior to harvest. We conducted two independent assays (n = 3 each) and the luciferase activity was normalized by each batch of the IL-4 (+) YF (-) group. ****P < 0.0001, compared to IL-4 (-) YF (-), ####P < 0.0001, compared to IL-4 (+) YF (-), respectively by One-way ANOVA, Tukeys post hoc test. (h) Schematic representation of AAV injection and time course of experiments. (i) Total distance in OFT, (j) time spent in open arm in EPM, (k) total immobility time in TST. n = 14-15. ****P < 0.0001, two-tailed t-test. (l) Schematic representation of drug injection and time course of experiments. (m) Total distance in OFT, (n) time spent in open arm in EPM, (o) total immobility time in TST. n = 11-12. ***P < 0.001, compared to saline, one-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s post hoc test. (p) Immunofluorescence image (top) and quantification of S100a10 (bottom) in DRN of IL4-injected mice at each time points. Scale bar, 20 μm. n = 11-12. *P < 0.05, compared to saline, one-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s post hoc test. All data presented as means ± s.e.m.
