RAC1 overexpression mitigated the effects of HFM1 knockdown on E17.5 ovaries in vitro. E17.5 ovaries were cultured with Ad-shRNA-Hfm1 or Ad‐shRNA-Hfm1 plus LV-Rac1 for 5 days. a Ovaries stained with FOXL2 (red) and germ cell marker DDX4 (green). Hoechst (blue) was used to identify the nuclear DNA. Scale bars: 20 μm. b Statistical analysis of the numbers of germ cells in ovaries (one-way ANOVA, n = 6, ***P < 0.001 vs. Control, ###P < 0.001 vs. Hfm1-KD). c The area of a single germ cell was measured by ImageJ in ovaries treated with Ad‐shRNA-Hfm1 or Ad‐shRNA-Hfm1 plus LV-Rac1 (one-way ANOVA, n = 24, ***P < 0.001 vs. Control, ###P < 0.001 vs. Hfm1-KD). d, e Western blotting analysis of RAC1, ANLN, and E-cad protein levels in ovaries treated with Ad‐shRNA-Hfm1 or Ad‐shRNA-Hfm1 plus LV-Rac1(one-way ANOVA, n = 4–5 independent experiments, * P = 0.012 or 0.021 or 0.015 vs. Control, #P = 0.020 or 0.029 or 0.017 vs. Hfm1-KD).
