Figure Lengend Snippet: Notch2 overexpression enhanced ovarian functions in premature ovarian failure (POF) mice by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. ( A ) Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) for the validation of oe-Notch2 overexpression efficiency. ( B ) Representative images of ovarian size at the end of the study. ( C ) Quantification of ovarian weight at the end of the study. ( D ) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels in serum. ( E ) qPCR for the expressions of steroidogenic enzyme-related genes (StARD1, Cyp11a1 and 3-β-HSD) in ovarian tissues. ( F ) Representative images of hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and quantification of primordial follicles, primary follicles, secondary follicles, antral follicles, atretic follicles and mature follicles for ovarian tissues. Magnification×200, scale bar = 100 μm; Magnification×40, scale bar = 500 μm. PF: primitive follicle; PrF: primary follicle; SF: secondary follicle; AnF: antral follicle; AF: atretic follicle; MF: mature follicle. △ P < 0.05 and △△ P < 0.01 vs. Normal; P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 vs. Control; # P < 0.05 and ## P < 0.01 vs. oe-NC; @ P < 0.05 and @@ P < 0.01 vs. oe-Notch2. Results were presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD)
