    <p>(A) The levels of AcH4K12 in fully grown GV oocytes cultured for 15.5 h after injection of si<i>Ing3</i> were significantly decreased as compared to controls. Red, AcH4K12; blue, chromatin. (B) <i>mTOR</i> mRNA levels were significantly decreased after si<i>Ing3</i> injection in fully grown GV oocytes (*<i>p</i><0.05) as compared with other asymmetric cell division–related genes. (C) Although the protein localization of mTOR was not changed, the amount of mTOR protein was reduced in si<i>Ing3</i>-injected oocytes. Green, mTOR; blue, chromatin. (D) The expression levels of mTOR-downstream genes, such as <i>Cdc42</i>, <i>Rac1</i>, and <i>RhoA,</i> in fully grown GV oocytes were significantly decreased 15.5 h after si<i>Ing3</i> injection (*<i>p</i><0.05).</p

    <p>(A) <i>Ing3</i> mRNA was significantly decreased in the fully grown GV oocytes injected with si<i>Ing3</i> (*<i>p</i><0.05). (B) ING3 protein levels, after normalization to α-tubulin, were decreased in fully grown GV oocytes injected with si<i>Ing3</i>. (C) Abnormal cell division was observed in several si<i>Ing3</i>-injected oocytes at the MII stage (arrows). (D) In si<i>Ing3</i>-injected oocytes, the rate of symmetric division was significantly increased as compared to that observed in siControl-injected oocytes (*<i>p</i><0.05). (E) Maturation rates were not different between si<i>Ing3</i>- and siControl-injected oocytes.</p

    <p>(A) Actin cap formation was noted in siControl-injected oocytes at the MI, ATI, and MII stages. By contrast, no actin cap was formed in si<i>Ing3</i>-injected oocytes at any stage. Arrows indicate the actin cap. Green, α-tubulin; red, actin; blue, chromatin. (B) CGs were absent in the cortex where the chromosomes were located at the MI and MII stages in siControl-injected oocytes. By contrast, in si<i>Ing3</i>-injected oocytes, CGs were distributed throughout the cortex at the MI and MII stages, and were intensely localized in the region of cell adhesion at the MII stage. Circles and arrows denote the CGFD. Green, cortical granules; blue, chromatin.</p

    <p>(A) ING3 was predominantly localized in the nucleus in fully grown GV oocytes. After GVBD, ING3 localized homogeneously throughout the cytoplasm. Green, ING3; blue, chromatin. (B) ING3 bound to the chromatin in fully grown GV oocytes. Green, ING3; blue, chromatin.</p
