Cell gene expression during the first spermatogenic wave. Known Sertoli (Vim, Gata4, Ar, Amh, Sox9) (A1-3), Leydig (Cyp17a1, Cyp11a1, Hsd3b1, Ccn5) (B1-3), peritubular/blood vessel (Bgn, Dcn, Acta2) (C1-3), and germ cell (Ddx4)/elongated spermatids (Prm1, Prm2) (D1-3) markers expressed in the testis or testicular explants during the first wave of spermatogenesis for in vivo (A1, B1, C1, D1), in vitro (A2, B2, C2, D2) and fresh vs. frozen (A3, B3, C3, D3) samples. Horizontal black lines indicate the mean expression values in each group. CSF, controlled slow freezing; dpp, days postpartum.
