Effects of Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein 2 Inhibition by Genipin in Human Cumulus Cells

Figure 3

Effects of UCP2 inhibited by Genipin on CCs apoptosis. (a) The caspase-3 protein was quantified by Western blotting. The proactive caspase-3 declined obviously, and the active caspase-3 markedly increased after UCP2 inhibition. (b) Caspase-3 gene was quantified by RT-PCR, which markedly increase after UCP2 inhibition. Con means control, asterisks indicate significant difference between control and treatment group at .
