Fig 2. In vitro and In vivo Effects of ACR on Meiotic Spindle.

Fig 2

In vitro-matured M-II stage oocytes in control (A-C), in vitro ACR-treated (D-F) and in vivo ACR-treated (25 mg/kg) groups (G-I). Representative images in D-F were taken from a 1000 μM ACR-treated group. In vitro ACR-treated M-II stage oocytes showed no disruption in the meiotic spindle (green signal) and chromosome organization (red signal) appeared to be intact. In vivo ACR-treatment caused a decrease in spindle microtubule mass and disruption in the chromosome alignment. Multiple microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) were detected (arrows). PB: polar body. Scale bar: 10 μm.
