FIGURE 1 Differentially expressed genes of germinal vesicle (GV) and MII oocytes. (A) Representative GV and MII oocytes. (B) Representative band patterns for differential expression between GV and MII oocytes after annealing control primer-polymerase chain reaction (ACP-PCR). Messenger RNA was isolated from equal numbers of oocytes and subjected to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using ACP. The PCR products were separated by electrophoresis on 2% agarose gels. M, lane containing a 100-bp DNA ladder. (C) Quantitative real-time PCR analysis with gene-specific primers to confirm differential expression. The CT values are as follows: CSN3 (GV = 20.91; MII = 27.92), PKD2 (GV = 23.16; MII = 32.40), and Pscd2 (GV = 24.27; MII = 35.44). (D) Real-time PCR products were subjected to 1.5% agarose gel separation for further confirmation. Rabbit α-globin mRNA served as an external standard.
