Immunohistochemical detection of Cat-315-positive PNNs and WFA-positive PNNs in specific regions of the juvenile-stressed and control groups. Representative double immunofluorescence images of the dAC L5/6 (a, a′, b, b′), and M1 L5/6 (c, c′, d, d′) are shown at high magnification. Double confocal images of Cat-315 and WFA reactivity in control (a, a′, c, c′) and stress mice (b, b′, d, d′) are shown. Cat-315-positive PNNs are indicated by green fluorescence (FITC), and WFA-positive PNNs are indicated by red fluorescence (Alexa Fluor 594). Scale bar = 10 μm in d′ (applies to a–d, a′–d′). The densities of Cat-315-positive PNN in the hippocampus (CA1, CA3, and DG) (e), and primary motor cortex (f) are shown. The percentages of Cat-315-positive PNNs co-localized with WFA-positive PNNs in the hippocampus (CA1, CA3, and DG) (g), and primary motor cortex (h) are shown. All data are presented as the mean ± SEM. *Significant difference from control mice (p < 0.05). The p values indicate two-way ANOVA by Bonferroni t test.
