SPOC domain-containing protein 1 regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of human spermatogonial stem cells through adenylate kinase 4

Figure 6 Identification of the target genes of SPOC domain-containing protein 1. A: The number of genes was significantly affected by SPOC domain-containing protein 1 (SPOCD1) knockdown; B: Quantitative PCR validated the expression levels of SPOCD1 and 10 randomly selected genes significantly affected by SPOCD1; C: Volcano plot of differential gene expression between negative control (NC)-siRNA and SPOCD1-siRNA2 groups; D: Heatmap analysis of the top 20 differentially expressed genes (DEGs); E: Violin plots show the expression levels of the top 20 DEGs in all testicular cells. ^aP < 0.05.
