Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) The relative expression of Dnmt1 , Dnmt3a, and Dnmt3l in HFD oocytes was examined using qPCR. *p<0.05; **p<0.01. Data presented as mean ± SD; two-tail t-test used. p-value presented in the source data. ( B ) The concentration of cAMP in HFD oocytes was examined using ELISA. **p<0.01. Data presented as mean ± SEM; a two-tail t-test was used, n: CD=6, HFD = 3, p=0.004375.( C ) The relative expressions CREB1 and CREM in HFD oocytes were tested using qPCR. *p<0.05; **p<0.01. Data presented as mean ± SD; a two-tail t-test was used. Replicated three times for each gene, and p value presented in the source data.( D and E ) The level of pCREB1 in oocytes was examined using immunofluorescence, and the relative fluorescence intensity was calculated by Image J ( E ) (CD, n=69; HFD, n=49, p=3.326×10 –16 ; HFD + melatonin, n=61, p=8.997×10 –20 ). HFD, oocytes from obese mice; CD, oocytes from control mice; HFD + melatonin, oocytes from obese mice treated with exogenous melatonin. *p<0.05; ***p<0.001. Data presented as mean ± SEM; a two-tail t-test was used. ( F and G ) Treatment with the PKA antagonist H89 2HCL reduced the methylation level of HFD oocytes (CD, n=48; HFD, n=31, p=1.674*10 –13 ; HFD + H 89 2HCl, n=27, p=0.00324). ** p<0.01; *** p<0.001. Data presented as mean ± SEM; a two-tail t-test was used. ( H and I ) The level of pCREB1 in HFD oocytes was also decreased by the treatment with the protein kinase A (PKA) antagonist H89 2HCL (CD, n=17; HFD, n=17, p=0.006249; HFD +H 89 2HCl, n=22, p=0.027987). *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ns, no statistical significance between groups. Data presented as mean ± SEM; a two-tail t-test was used. ( J and K ) Treatment with the PKA antagonist H89 2HCL reduced the localization of DNMT1 in HFD oocytes (CD, n=24; HFD, n=29, p=6.214×10 –6 ; HFD + H 89 2HCl, n=25, p0.003147). **p<0.01; ***p<0.001; ns, no statistical significance between groups. Data presented as mean ± SEM; a two-tail t-test was used. Source data are presented in . Figure 8—source data 1. Extended data for .
