Fig. 2

Gene expression level of interneuron markers and vesicular GABA transporter in control and schizophrenia midbrain. a PV mRNA was lower in the midbrain of schizophrenia cases (by 40.70%) relative to controls and this was not exacerbated by inflammatory status. b SST mRNA did not show significant changes in the midbrain between schizophrenia cases and controls. c VGAT mRNA was 39.69% lower in schizophrenia cases compared with controls and this was also not exacerbated by inflammatory status. Pink dots are low inflammatory/schizophrenia cases, dark red dots are high inflammatory/schizophrenia cases. Statistical results for analysis by inflammatory subgroup are in Table 3. Bars indicate mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001
