Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) shRNA reduced 5-HT 2A receptor subunit expression in layer 5 pyramidal neurons ( p , Wilcoxon test; Scramble, n = 45; sh- Htr2a , n = 56; N = 3/group). (B) sh- Htr2a blocked psilocybin induced GluR1 down-regulation in layer 5 pyramidal neurons. Psilocybin or saline was i.p. injected 24 hrs before tissue collection (Two-way ANOVA, F (3,156) = 5.04, p = 0.026; post hoc Tukey test: Saline + Scramble vs Psilocybin + Scramble, p = 0.0046; Psilocybin + Scramble vs Psilocybin + sh- Htr2a , p = 0.00049; Saline + sh- Htr2a vs Psilocybin + Scramble, p = 0.00084; Saline + Scramble, n = 39; Saline + sh- Htr2a , n = 33; Psilocybin + Scramble, n = 46; Psilocybin + sh- Htr2a , n = 42; N = 3/group) (C) Cell-type specific knockdown of Htr2a on the anti-depressant effect of psilocybin in rFST. Top panel, experiment timeline, arrowheads indicate timepoints of FSTs. Psilocybin or saline was i.p. injected 24 hrs after the FST on day 5 (Pre-Test). Bottom panel, the comparisons of the difference in immobile times of the last two FSTs, namely FST on day 13 (Test) and FST on day 5 (Pre-Test) (One-way ANOVA, F (3,29) = 10.09, p = 0.0001; post hoc Holm test: Camk2-Scramble + Saline vs Camk2-Scramble + Psilocybin, p = 6.3 x 10 -5 ; Camk2-Scramble + Psilocybin vs Camk2-sh- Htr2a + Psilocybin, p = 0.02; Camk2-Scramble + Saline vs PV-sh- Htr2a + Psilocybin, p = 0.02; Camk2-Scramble + Saline, N = 10; Camk2-Scramble + Psilocybin, N = 10; Camk2-sh- Htr2a + Psilocybin, N= 6; PV-sh- Htr2a + Psilocybin, N = 7).
