a Immunofluorescent staining of cardiac troponin, p-H3,Ki67, PCM1, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and aurora B in control (R26LSL-CMER/+; no cre) and Myh6-Cre; R26LSL-CMER/+ (R26LSL-CMER/+; cre+) adult mouse heart isolated 4 weeks post systemic infection with an adeno-associated virus encoding Ccnt1 (AAV9-Ccnt1) and 48 h post administration of tamoxifen. Representative images based on analysis of five independent mice. Scale bars represents 10 μm (aurora B) and 50 μm (all others). b Quantification of p-H3-positive nuclei percentage in control (R26LSL-CMER/+; no cre, n = 9) and Myh6-Cre; R26LSL-CMER/+ (R26LSL-CMER/+; cre+, n = 7) adult mouse heart isolated 4 weeks post systemic infection with an adeno-associated virus encoding Ccnt1 (AAV9-Ccnt1) and 48 h post administration of tamoxifen. Means are taken from five images per mouse; Mean and s.e.m shown. Unpaired t-test; no cre vs cre+ P < 0.0001. c The weight (mg) of hearts isolated from control (R26LSL-CMER/+; no cre, n = 9 48 h, n = 5 72 h) and Myh6-Cre; R26LSL-CMER/+ (R26LSL-CMER/+; cre+, n = 7 48 h, n = 6 72 h) adult mouse heart 4 weeks post systemic infection with an adeno-associated virus encoding Ccnt1 (AAV9-Ccnt1) and 48 and 72 h post administration of tamoxifen, expressed as fold change over the length (mm) of a tibia isolated from the same mouse. Mean and s.e.m shown. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test; no cre vs cre+: *P = 0.05 (48 h), ***P = 0.001 (72 h). Replicate samples are derived from independent mice. d Image of the whole heart and a tibia from control (R26LSL-CMER/+; no cre) and Myh6-Cre; R26LSL-CMER/+ (R26LSL-CMER/+; cre+) adult mouse heart isolated 4 weeks post systemic infection with an adeno-associated virus encoding Ccnt1 (AAV9-Ccnt1) and 72 h post administration of tamoxifen. Scale bar represents 10 mm. Representative images based on analysis of 11 independent mice. e Quantification of the number and size of cardiomyocytes from control (R26LSL-CMER/+; no cre, n = 5) and Myh6-Cre; R26LSL-CMER/+ (R26LSL-CMER/+; cre+, n = 6) adult mouse heart isolated 4 weeks post systemic infection with an adeno-associated virus encoding Ccnt1 (AAV9-Ccnt1) and 72 h post administration of tamoxifen. Mean and s.d shown. One-way Mann–Whitney test; no cre vs cre+ **P = 0.0043. Replicate samples are derived from independent mice. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
