SF-1 and steroidogenic genes are increased by insulin. Relative gene expression of SF-1 and steroidogenic SF-1 target genes after 24 h insulin treatment (a). Dose (b and c) and time (d and e) dependent effects of insulin on SF-1 and DAX1 protein levels. Note that the activation of insulin signaling was confirmed by phosphorylation of AKT and FoxO1. Effect of insulin and 8Br-cAMP (100 uM) on SF-1 protein levels (f). 100 nM of insulin was used for experiments unless otherwise specified. All experiments were performed in triplicates. Original Western blots are provided in the Supplementary information. The values are mean ± SEM (*p < 0.05, Student’s t-test).
