Figure Lengend Snippet: a The methylation levels of CpG site −1555 to TSS in the promoter region of Rhobtb1 following PrP exposure ( n = 5 biological replicates). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (one-way ANOVA). b , c Protein levels of RhoBTB1 in KGN cells following PrP exposure. Data from ( c ) represent three independent experiments (mean ± SEM; one-way ANOVA). d AMH levels in KGN cells following PrP exposure ( n = 3 biological replicates). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (one-way ANOVA). e E2 levels in KGN cells following PrP exposure ( n = 3 biological replicates). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (one-way ANOVA). f , g Violin plot showing the apoptosis ratio of KGN cells after PrP exposure ( n = 3 biological replicates; one-way ANOVA). The black dotted line represents median ratio. h , i The protein levels of BAX, BCL-2, and active-Caspase3 in KGN cells tested by western blotting following PrP exposure. Data from ( i ) represent three independent experiments (mean ± SEM; one-way ANOVA). j Representative images showing the infection of adenovirus with and without encoding Rhobtb1 in KGN cells. The experiment was repeated three times. k , l Protein levels of RhoBTB1 in GCs detected by western blotting following RhoBTB1 overexpression. Data from ( l ) represent three independent experiments (mean ± SEM; unpaired two-tailed t -test). m AMH levels in GCs following RhoBTB1 overexpression ( n = 5 biological replicates). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (unpaired two-tailed t -test). n E2 levels in GCs following RhoBTB1 overexpression ( n = 5 biological replicates). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (unpaired two-tailed t -test). o , p Violin plot showing the apoptosis ratio of GCs after RhoBTB1 overexpression ( n = 3 biological replicates; unpaired two-tailed t -test). The black dotted line represents median ratio. q , r The protein levels of BAX, BCL-2, and active-Caspase3 in GCs detected by western blotting following RhoBTB1 overexpression. Data from ( r ) represent three independent experiments (mean ± SEM; unpaired two-tailed t -test). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
