The mRNA levels of the germ cell-related genes and BMP-encoding genes during RA-induced differentiation of cBCs. The expression levels of the germ-specific genes Stra8, Dazl, and Cvh (a) and the BMP family members Bmp2, Bmp4 and Bmp8b (b) were measured by qRT-PCR following 24 h of RA treatment. Data are representative of results in three independent experiments, values are the mean ± SEM (n = 3) and each condition is normalized to β-actin abundance. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01
