Comparison of the ETV5 expression and ERK phosphorylation in mouse 2PN embryos between SCF group, SCF + imatinib group and control group. Western Blot (a) showed an increased ETV5 expression and a higher phosphorylation level of MEK/ERK signal molecule in mouse embryos from SCF group than those from other groups. RT-PCR (b) showed that the expression of ETV5 was significantly higher in blastocysts than that in non-blastocysts in all groups (*P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01)
