After the MWM, the mice were euthanized via cervical dislocation, and the obtained samples were preserved in liquid nitrogen. The total RNA of the hippocampus was isolated with TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, CA, United States) according to the previous protocol (Zhao et al., 2022 (link)). The RNA sample used in this study was the same cohort as our reported investigation (Cai et al., 2022 (link)). Subsequently, the RNA integrity was determined using gel electrophoresis (Supplementary Figure 1). The RNA concentration was determined on Spark 20 M microplate reader (Tecan Group Ltd., Switzerland; Supplementary Table 1).
