Autophagy Influences Maternal mRNA Degradation and Apoptosis in Porcine Parthenotes Developing <i>In Vitro</i>
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy, an essential process for cellular maintenance, cell viability, and development, is the bulk degradation of proteins and organelles. This study investigated the expression levels of autophagy-related genes and the effect of 3-methyladenine (3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor) or rapamycin (an autophagy inducer) on maternal gene degradation and apoptosis in porcine parthenotes developing in vitro. LC3, which...
