MEK inhibition abolishes the social dominance phenotype in Spred1-/- mice. A Mean percentage of matches won per day in the tube test across 5 days of tournaments between WT treated with DMSO vehicle and Spred1-/- mice treated with PD325901. Two tailed binomial tests compared to chance (50%): no significant differences day 1–5. n = 8 mice/genotype. B Mean percentage of matches won per day in the tube test across 5 days of tournaments between Spred1-/- treated with DMSO vehicle and Spred1-/- mice treated with PD325901, with significant differences on day 1–3 (Two tailed binomial test compared to chance (50%): day 1 p = 0.0011; day 2 p = 0.0011; day 3 p = 0.025). n = 6 mice/genotype. C Mean percentage of matches won per day in the tube test across 5 days of tournaments between WT treated with DMSO vehicle and WT mice treated with PD325901. Two tailed binomial tests compared to chance (50%): significant differences day 2–5; Two tailed binomial tests compared to chance (50%): day 2 p = 0.0003; day 3 p = 0.0003; day 4 p < 0.0001; day 5 p < 0.0001. n = 8 mice/genotype. All graphs are box and whisker with median and quartiles. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
