Our results suggest that miR-30 family miRNAs mediate chronic stress-induced depression-like phenotype by altering hippocampal neurogenesis and neuroplasticity via controlling the epigenetic and transcription regulators such as Mll3 and Runx1; and cell signaling regulators like Socs3, Ppp3r1, Gpr125, and Nrp1. Here, SOCS3 is linked to major depressive disorder.
