Fig. 6. Altered gene expression in Ovol1-/- testis. (A) Reduced
expression of known pachytene differentiation markers in P16
Ovol1-/- testis. (B) Northern blot analysis showing
apparently normal levels of cyclin B1 and Cdc2 transcripts in P16
Ovol1-/- testis. (C,D) Novel pachytene or testis markers
were downregulated in P16 Ovol1-/- testis (C) and showed
temporal expression patterns similar to that of Ovol1 during
wild-type prepubertal testis development (D). RNA samples were pooled from
three to five mice of the same genotype and used to make multiple blots. All
blots were stripped and reused. Only one representative hybridization
experiment with a Gapdh probe was shown as a loading control. (E-H) In situ
hybridization of P16 wild-type (E,F) and Ovol1-/- (G,H)
testis using a Ovol2 cRNA probe (E,G) or counterstained with an
-Ldhc4 antibody (F,H). Ovol2 transcripts are present in
Ldhc4-postive cells. No signal was detected when a sense probe was used (not
shown). Scale bar: 30 µm.
