The Catsper1 promoter has bidirectional transcriptional activity in GC-1 spg spermatogonia cells. (a) Structure of the Catsper1 promoter constructs. Each construct was named according to the length of the promoter region inserted in either direction upstream of the Photinus luciferase gene (Luc). (b) Transcriptional activity in GC-1 spg spermatogonia cells. Transcriptional activity is expressed as a fold-increase of luciferase activity over the pGL3-Basic (empty vector), to which a value of 1 was assigned. The results represent the average activity of Photinus firefly luciferase normalized to the activity of Renilla reniformis luciferase as an internal transfection control. Bar graphs represent the means ± SD, n = 3. Statistical significance was evaluated with one-way ANOVA: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001.
