Figure 8

Cloned zygotes treated with β-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) present elevated levels of histone acetylation. (A) Diagram illustrating the SCNT procedure and the treatment of early cloned zygotes with BOHB. (B) Immunocytochemical detection of H3K9ac in the nuclei of cloned zygotes treated or not treated with 6 mM of BOHB for 12 h, starting immediately after ionomycin treatment. (C) Quantification of H3K9ac signal intensity of SCNT nuclei. Data as presented as the mean ± s.e.m., and different letters indicate a significant difference with respect to the control group (P = 0.0005). All images were taken at the same magnification (40× and 2× digital zoom) and at the same laser power, thereby enabling direct comparison of signal intensities. The scale bar corresponds to 10 μm. Cont: control zygotes; BOHB: zygotes treated with 6 mM BOHB.
