Inefficiency of NMD substantially contributes to accumulation of Mga SV transcripts in meiotic spermatocytes and spermatids. (A) High expression of Mga SV in spermatocytes and round spermatids was not further elevated by suppressing NMD activity. Non-germ (ESC and MEF) and germ (GSC, SC, and RS) cells were treated with or without CHX for 3 h. Semi-quantitative PCR was performed with cDNAs corresponding to their total RNAs. Full-length gels are presented in Supplementary Fig. S7. (B) Quantification of canonical and splice variant Mga mRNAs in non-germ and germ cells treated with or without CHX. cDNAs used in A were subjected to qPCR to accurately compare their amounts. Data are shown as PSI. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. The Student’s t-test was conducted to examine statistical significance. *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001.
