Comparing the telomerase expression activity between CD117⁺CD34⁺ cardiac TCs and, FBs, CMs. The activity of telomerase in CD117⁺CD34⁺ cardiac TCs was examined using a real-time quantitative telomeric-repeat amplification assay. BMSCs, CFBs, and CMs were included in the analyses as references. The telomerase concentration in CD117⁺CD34⁺ cardiac TCs was 2.5- and 1.5-time lower than in BMSCs and CFBs, respectively (P < 0.05); and was significantly higher than in CMs (P < 0.05). CTCs: Cardiac telocytes, BMSCs: Bone mesenchymal stem cells, CFBs: Cardiac fibroblasts, CMs: Cardiomyocytes.
