DMRT1 knockdown in second-trimester human fetal testis alters expression of genes involved in testicular and ovarian development. RT-qPCR analysis of genes associated with development of (A) Sertoli (B) granulosa and (C) germ cells in second-trimester human fetal testes tissue culture for 13 days after an initial 24 h exposure to scrambled miRNA, miR536 or miR641. Expression was normalized to RPS29 (n = 2–3 per treatment group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001). Graphs show mean ± SEM. Data analyzed using a linear mixed effects model in R.
