We found that protein or RNA levels of several markers known to be implicated in the pathology of depression, and markers of synapses (post synaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), synapsin-1 (SYN1), vesicular glutamate transporter-1 (VGLUT1), and gephyrin (GPHN)); GABAergic inhibitory interneurons (somatostatin (SST), parvalbumin (PV), glutamic acid decarboxylase-67 (GAD67), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)); and astroglia (glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), glutamate transporter-1 (GLT1), and glutamine synthase (GS)) were gradually reduced by CRS. Here, PVALB is linked to congenital rubella syndrome.
