This PDF file includes:
- Fig. S1. GABAR α1 mRNA expression is decreased in DG after pilocarpine-induced
SE.
- Fig. S2. Mutant CRE site does not bind CREB or ICER after DNA pull down.
- Fig. S3. BDNF-induced ICER is not dependent on PKA, CaM kinase, or PI 3-kinase activation.
- Fig. S4. Inhibition of JAK/STAT pathway via slow infusion of P6 beginning 48
hours before SE does not affect SE.
- Fig. S5. No effect of P6 on PKA-induced ICER synthesis.
- Fig. S6. BDNF increases binding of pSTAT3 to the endogenous ICER promoter
as compared to isotype antibody control.
