Retinoic acid activates two pathways required for meiosis in mice
PLOS Genetics 10, e004541 (2014)
Figures
- Figure S1 Targeted disruption of the Cyp26b1 locus on mouse chromosome 6. A) Homologous recombination removes exons 4, 5, 6 and the coding portion of exon 7, and replaces them with a loxP-PGK-Neo-loxP selection cassette. B) Correctly targeted ES cell clones were confirmed by Southern blot analysis (E, EcoRV; N, Nde1). Positions of 5' (red) and 3' (green) probes are shown in part A. C) E14.5 Cyp26b1-/- embryos exhibit defects in limb and facial development as previously reported (Yashiro et al., 2004). D) Whole-mount in situ hybridization with Stra8 probe reveals staining in Cyp26b1-/- testes. E) Quantitative real-time PCR shows increase in Stra8 expression levels in Cyp26b1-/- testes.
- Figure S2 Immunohistochemical staining for MVH protein (red) and TUNEL staining (green) in E15.5 control ovary and testis, Cyp26b1-deficient testis, and double-mutant (Cyp26b1-deficient, Bax-deficient) testis.
