  1. Abbreviations: CREB, cAMP response element-binding; EGR, early growth response; GR, glucocorticoid receptor; ISRE, interferon-stimulated response element; MDD, major depressive disorder; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa-B; NRF2, nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2; TFBM, transcription factor-binding motif.
  2. Values represent the mean fold difference in promoter TFBM distribution±s.e., and two-tailed P-value testing null hypothesis 1.0-fold.
  3. aConsistent, archival studies are consistent and are in concordance with results of present MDD versus control comparison; Additional, archival studies are consistent, but relationship is not detected in present sample; Partially consistent, archival studies are inconsistent, but one is in concordance with present MDD versus Control comparison; Null, archival studies are inconsistent.
  4. bStatistically significant under Bonferroni correction for simultaneous testing of nine pathways (individual P<0.0056).
