Supplementary Figure S1. Knockdown of p11 in PrL induces depression-like behavior.(a) Immunofluorescence image illustrating the expression of viral transgene (GFP) after injecting the p11 shRNA lentivirus (p11-shRNA) into PrL. Scale bar, 20 μm. (b) p11 expression in PrL with or without the injection of GFP-shRNA or p11-shRNA lentivirus (n = 6 per group). **P < 0.01, one-way ANOVA. (c,d) Depression-like behaviors in mice with or without the injection of GFP-shRNA or p11-shRNA lentivirus, as measured by TST (c) and FST (d) (n = 8, CON; n = 10, GFP-shRNA; n = 10, p11-shRNA). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, one-way ANOVA. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m.

Supplementary Figure S2. Alteration of p11 expression is correlated with depression-like behavior. (a,b) Western blot analysis and quantification showing the expression of p11 in control versus stressed mice at 14, 30, 60, and 90 days after the cessation of stress (n = 6 per group). * p < 0.05, two-way ANOVA. (c,d) Depression-like behaviors in control versus stressed mice at 14, 30, 60, and 90 days after the cessation of stress, as measured by TST (c) and FST (d) (n = 16 for each group). Different animals were used at each time point. ** p < 0.01, two-way ANOVA. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m.

Supplementary Figure S3. Identification of p11-expressing neurons in layer II/III PrL. (a) Images showing the co-localization of p11 (blue) with dopamine D1 receptor (D1; D1-Cre x tdTomato; red) and dopamine D2 receptor (D2; D2-eGFP; green) in layer II/III PrL neurons from D1-tdT-D2-eGFP (D1-Cre x tdTomato x D2-eGFP) mice. Scale bar, 15 μm. The percentage of neurons expressing p11, D2, or D1 is indicated in Venn diagrams. See Supplementary Table 1 for data. (b) Images showing the co-localization of p11 (blue) with D2 (D2; D2-tdT; red) and CaMKII (green, a marker of glutamatergic neurons) in layer II/III PrL neurons from D2-tdT (D2-Cre x tdTomato) mice. Scale bar, 10 μm. The percentage of neurons expressing p11, D2, or CaMKII is indicated in Venn diagrams. See Supplementary Table 2 for data. (c) Images showing the co-localization of p11 (blue) with D2 (D2; D2-tdT; red) and GAD67 (green, a marker of GABAergic neurons) in layer II/III PrL neurons from D2-tdT mice. Scale bar, 10 μm. The percentage of neurons expressing p11, D2, or GAD67 is indicated in Venn diagrams. See Supplementary Table S3 for data. In all the Venn diagrams, arrows point to the percentages of co-localized neurons.

Supplementary Figure S4. Chronic stress or p11 overexpression does not affect presynaptic functions. (a-c) Coefficient of variations (CV) of AMPAR-EPSC (a) and NMDAR-EPSC (b) and pre-paired ratio (PPR) of AMPAR-EPSC (c) in D2+ layer II/III PrL neurons from control mice (D2-tdT) and stressed mice with PrL injection of AAV_eYFP or AAV_p11 (a,b, n = 12 CON(D2), n = 8 RST(D2), n = 8, RST(D2)+AAV_eYFP, n = 9 RST(D2)+AAV_p11; c, n = 9 CON(D2), n = 8, RST(D2)+AAV_eYFP, n = 8 RST(D2)+AAV_p11). Inset: Representative traces of AMPAR-EPSC evoked by paired pulses at different intervals.
