Fig. 6

Expression pattern of CCL2 and its receptors in the testis AViolin plots showing expression level of CCL2 among different cell types in the testis. The violin plots were split by groups. B, C Immunofluorescence staining of CCL2 (red) and α-SMA (green, 6B) or STAR (green, 6C). Nuclei were stained with DAPI dye (blue). * represent seminiferous tubule. Arrows represent typical myoid cells (6B)/Leydig cells (6C) of the fields. The scale bars represent 20 μm (in 6B) and 10 μm (in 6C). D, E, F and G Violin plots showing the expression pattern of CCL2 receptors CCR2, CCR4, ACKR2 and ACKR1, respectively, among different cell types in the testis. H and I Immunohistochemical staining of CCR2/CCR4/ACKR2 and ACKR1, respectively, in the testis. Arrows represented obvious positive cells. The original images of IHC stained sections were obtained from Human Protein Atlas database (https://www.proteinatlas.org)
