Figure 2. Effects of Sirt6 knockdown on oocyte maturation.

Figure 2

Fully grown oocytes microinjected with Sirt6-MO were cultured in medium with milrinone for 20 hours to repress mRNA translation and then matured in vitro. A sham MO was injected as control. (A) The efficiency of Sirt6-MO was verified by Western blot. Band intensity was calculated using Image J software, and the ratio of Sirt6/actin expression was normalized. (B,C) Quantitative analysis of GVBD and Pb1 extrusion in control (n = 130) and Sirt6-MO (n = 125) oocytes. Bars represent means ± SD of results obtained in 3 independent experiments. *p <0 .05 vs. controls.
