Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of BAY-899 on the luteinization process of second-generation granulosa cells (GCs). Second-generation sheep GCs were incubated in serum-containing media with (BAY-899+) or without BAY-899 (BAY-899−) (180 nmol/L) for 48 h. Immunostaining of FSHR protein (red, ( a , c )) and STAR (red, ( b , d )) in second-generation GCs cultured in serum-containing media with (BAY-899+) or without BAY-899 (BAY-899−). Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). FSHR and STAR in second-generation GCs are highlighted by the yellow squares in enlarged images. Fluorescence intensity was measured using Image J software ( e ) ( n = 3). Bar = 10 μm. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. The concentration of P4 ( f ) in the culture supernatants was measured by ELISA after second-generation GCs were treated with (BAY-899+) or without 180 nmol/L BAY-899 (BAY-899−) for 48 h. Values are mean ± SEM, ** p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: Subsequently, the cells were incubated overnight at 4 °C with the primary antibodies rabbit anti-FSHR (1:100, 22665-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China) and rabbit anti-STAR (1:100, bs-20388R, Bioss, Beijing, China).
