Alterations of astrocyte-enriched fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors observed here (upregulation of Fgfr3, downregulation of Fgfr1) may also be relevant to depression biology given the findings of altered expression of FGF receptors and ligands in depression (Evans et al., 2004). Here, FGFR1 is linked to depressive symptom measurement.
