Fig. 7. IKBA-/- mouse sperm showed no response to Bay117082.

Fig. 7

a Expression level of IKBA in control and Nfkbia cKO mice sperm. α-Tubulin was applied to assess protein loading. b Distribution of IKBA in sperm of control mice and Nfkbia cKO mice. DAPI (blue) labeled the nuclei, and IKBA was stained with Alexa Fluor 488 (green). Images were merged (MERGE) with bright-field images (Bright). Scale bar: 10 μm. c, d Changes in VCL and ALH of control and Nfkbia cKO mice sperm treated with or without Bay117082 for 10 min. Values represent mean ± SEM (n = 9), *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, compared with the corresponding control (0 μM). ns, no significance.
