doi: 10.1186/s13578-025-01460-4
Figure Lengend Snippet: Pink1 overexpression induces mitophagy in murine oocytes. ( A ) Representative images of LC3 staining in oocytes after Pink1 -OE (scale bar = 20 μm). ( B ) The percentage of autophagy between control and Pink1 -OE oocytes (9.6 ± 1.60%, [ n = 47] vs. 31.7 ± 2.24%, [ n = 36], respectively). *Significantly different ( p < 0.05). ( C ) The effects of Pink1 -OE on LC3 protein levels, as detected by Western blotting. Proteins from 400 oocytes were loaded for each sample. ( D ) Relative intensity results for the protein expression of LC3 in control and Pink1 -OE oocytes. Proteins from 300 oocytes were loaded for each sample. ( E ) Statistical analysis of the mtDNA copy number in single oocytes from control and Pink1 -OE (88175.2 ± 5645.62 [ n = 27] vs. 61280 ± 9338.36 [ n = 35], respectively)
