Expression of the Dux family, Zfp352, and Zscan4d during preimplantation development. Fifty MII stage oocytes and embryos at the 1-, 2-(early, mid and late), 4-cell, and morula stages were collected at 13, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 70 h post insemination (hpi), respectively, and subjected to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Two independent experiments were conducted and similar results were obtained. (A) Electrophoresis images of the Dux family, Zfp352, Zscan4d, and rabbit α-globin (external control) PCR products. (B) The band densities in (A) were quantified using ImageJ. The band densities of the three genes are relative to that of rabbit α-globin. The values at the early 2-cell stage were set to 1 and the relative values were calculated. The average value from two experiments is shown.
