Figure 1. The methylation statuses and transcription of H19/Igf2 imprinting and the expression of genes related to the imprinting methylation maintenance in PFFs.

Figure 1

(A) the methylation statuses of H19/Igf2 imprinting in PFFs derived from in vivo fertilized and cloned fetuses, (B) H19/Igf2 methylation levels in PFFs derived from in vivo fertilized and cloned fetuses, (C) the transcription of H19/Igf2 and genes related to the imprinting methylation maintenance in PFFs derived from in vivo fertilized and cloned fetuses. PFFs derived from the morphologically abnormal cloned fetuses displayed the hypomethylated H19/Igf2 imprinting, upregulated H19 transcription and downregulated expression of Igf2 and imprinting methylation maintenance related genes. con represented PFFs derived from the in vivo fertilized fetuses, a1, a2, a3 and a4 represented PFFs derived from the morphologically abnormal cloned fetuses, and n1 and n2 represented PFFs derived from the morphologically normal cloned fetuses, respectively. Black or white circles indicate methylated or unmethylated CpG sites, respectively. a–dValues for a given gene with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05).
