Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of GCs markers PIWIL2 and DAZL in PB-MSCs and SSCs treated with SCs/CM for 21 days. ( A ) Higher ( p < 0.05) gene expression of PIWIL2 was detected in the SSCs-SCs/CM on day 7. On day 14 of culture, gene expression of PIWIL2 was higher ( p < 0.05) in PB-MSCs-SCs/CM and SSCs-SCs/CM compared to SCs, PB-MSCs and SSCs controls. Over time the relative expression of PIWIL2 increased ( p < 0.05) in SSCs-SCs/CM from day 7 to day 14. ( B ) The relative expression of DAZL was higher ( p < 0.05) in SSCs-SCs/CM on days 7 and 14 compared with SCs and SSCs controls. In PB-MSCs or PB-MSCs-SCs/CM no gene expression of DAZL was detected. ( C ) Piwil2 protein expression was immunodetected in PB-MSCs-SCs/CM and SSCs-SCs/CM on day 14. ( D ) Dazl was immunodetected in SSCs and SSCs-SCs/CM on day 14. (*) Indicate mRNA levels of specific gene were not detected. Different superscripts (a, b, c) indicate differences ( p < 0.05) for the same marker between cell types and (1,2) for the same marker between days of culture.
Article Snippet: Samples were then washed and blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) diluted in PBS (pH: 7.4) for 45 min. Proteins were immunodetected using anti- Wt1 rabbit polyclonal antibody (Cat. # ab89901, Abcam, Boston, MA, USA), anti- Oct4 mouse polyclonal antibody (Cat. # sc5279, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti- Nanog mouse polyclonal antibody (Cat. # sc293121, Santa Cruz), anti- Uchl1 mouse monoclonal antibody (Cat. # 480012, Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA), anti- Cd73 rabbit monoclonal antibody (Cat. # ab137595, Abcam), anti- Piwil2 rabbit monoclonal antibody (Cat. # ab85084, Abcam), and anti- Dazl polyclonal rabbit (Cat. # ab34139, Abcam), diluted in 3% BSA diluted in PBS (pH: 7.4) ( Wt1 1:200, Oct4 , Nanog, Cd73, Piwil2 , and Dazl 1:50 and Uchl1 1:100).
