Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 2 | Mettl16 is essential for the differentiation of spermatogonia. (A) Gross morphology of representative testes from 8W control and age- matched Mettl16-sKO mice. (B) The testis/body weight ratio of 8W control and Mettl16-sKO mice. (C) H&E staining of adult control and Mettl16-sKO testes. (D) Immunofluorescent staining of c-KIT and LIN28A in adult control and Mettl16-sKO testes. Nucleus is stained using Hoechst33342 (blue). (E) Immunofluorescent staining of c-KIT in control and Mettl16-sKO testes at indicated days. (F) Quantification of c-KIT-positive cells in control and Mettl16-sKO testes at indicated days. (G) Immunofluorescent staining of γH2AX in 2-week-old control and Mettl16-sKO testes. (H) TUNEL assay of 2-week-old control and Mettl16-sKO testes. (I) Quantification of apoptotic cells in 2-week-old control and Mettl16-sKO testes. Data are presented as means ± SD (n = 3 for each group). p values were calculated with unpaired one-tailed Student's t-test (n.s., not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001). Scale bar = 50 μm.
