a Expression of miR-378-3p in mouse ovaries from 16.5 dpc to 3 dpp detected by miRNA qRT-PCR. The expression level of miR-378-3p significantly increased in the ovaries from 17.5 dpc to 3 dpp compared with that of 16.5 dpc; b Expression of miR-378-3p significantly increased after rapamycin treatment; c Expression of miR-378-3p significantly decreased after 3-methyladenine treatment; d Immunofluorescence staining of in vitro cultured mouse ovaries with rapamycin and 3-MA, respectively. Germ cells were stained red with anti-Mvh antibody, nuclei were stained blue with Hochest 33342; e Rapamycin increased the percentage of primordial follicle; f 3-MA decreased the percentage of primordial follicle; g Western blotting of apoptosis-related proteins CASP9, CASP3, BAX and BCL-2 after rapamycin treatment; h Western blotting of autophagy-related proteins PDK1, mTOR and LC3B after rapamycin treatment; i Western blotting of apoptosis-related proteins CASP9, CASP3, BAX, and BCL-2 after 3-MA treatment; j Western blotting of autophagy-related proteins PDK1, mTOR, and LC3B after 3-MA treatment.
