Effect of CypD deletion on hypercontracture, mPTP opening and cell death after 45 min hypoxia followed by reoxygenation in isolated adult mouse cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocytes were isolated from wild type (WT) and CypD knock-out (KO) mice, were co-loaded with calcein, CoCl2 and propidium iodide (PI) and were subjected to 45 min hypoxia and then reoxygenated. Images were collected every min during the first 5 min of reoxygenation and then every 5 min. (a) Percentage of cells exhibiting hypercontracture at the end of hypoxia and at different reoxygenation times. (b) Time course of mPTP opening and cell death during reoxygenation. Fluorescence was normalised to 100% of the maximal values. Traces from 3 to 5 experiments were averaged.
