Data in Brief (Dec 2018)
Data highlighting the expression of two miR-132/212 target genes—Sirt1 and Pten—after chronic stress
Abstract
The data presented here are related to our research article entitled “miR-132/212 is induced by stress and its dysregulation triggers anxiety-related behavior” (Aten et al., 2018). In this article, we utilize immunofluorescent techniques to examine the protein-level expression of two microRNA-132/212 target genes, Sirt1 and Pten, in miR-132 transgenic and miR-132/212 conditional knockout (cKO) mouse lines. Additionally, using immunohistochemistry, we detail the expression profile of Sirt1 and Pten in the hippocampus and amygdala of WT mice after a 15 day chronic restraint stress paradigm.
