Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of FMN on the expression levels of the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway-related protein and genes in porcine blastocysts. (A) Porcine blastocysts incubated with or without FMN were stained with NRF2 (green) and DAPI (blue), scale bar, 50 μm. (B) Relative levels of NRF2 fluorescence intensity in blastocysts were analyzed for the control and FMN-treated group. (C) Relative mRNA expression levels of genes related to Nrf2/Keap1 pathway, NRF2, KEAP1, NQO1, UCHL1 in blastocysts. (D) Western blot analysis of NRF2 and KEAP1 protein expressions in blastocysts in the control and FMN-treated groups. Data were presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). ** p < 0.01,*** p < 0.001 vs. 0 μM FMN group.
Article Snippet: And incubation with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies at RT for 1 h. Primary antibodies were rabbit monoclonal antibodies against NRF2 (1:2000, #16396-1-AP, Proteintech), KEAP1 (1:2000, #10503-2-AP, Proteintech), and β-Actin (1:5000, #20536-1-AP, Proteintech).
