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. The gene discussed is RUNX1; the disease is depressive symptom measurement.
