PDK1 overexpression increases the phosphorylation level of Ser232-PDHE1α in diabetic oocytes. (A) Diagram showing the experimental protocol to examine the effects of PDK1 overexpression on meiotic apparatus in diabetic oocytes. PBS or exogenous Myc-Pdk1 mRNA was microinjected into GV oocytes. (B) Efficiency of PDK1 overexpression (PDK1-OE) after mRNA injection was confirmed by immunoblotting, probing with anti-MYC antibody. (C) Control, diabetic, and PDK1-overexpressing diabetic oocytes were stained with pSer232-PDHE1α antibody (green) and with PI for chromosomes (red). (D) Quantification of pSer232-PDHE1α fluorescence show in (C). Scale bar: 20 µm. Error bars indicate ± SD, a Student’s t test was used for statistical analysis.
