SC apoptosis is correlated with p53 activation. The activation of P53 was investigated in SCs at E15 in control (Cre-) (a, c) and SCMdm2−/− (b, d) testes through double p53/AMH immunostaining. Upper panel represents a global view of a testis section and lower panel a higher magnification of testicular cords. No p53 was observed in control SCs (a, c), while many p53-positive cells (brown) were detected in cord-like structures in SC-Mdm2−/− (b, d). Interestingly, most were clearly positive for AMH staining (purple) as well. Arrowheads point to p53-negative SCs (c and d) and arrows point to p53-positive SCs (d: double positive).
