Effect of DNA methyltransferase(DNMT) 3A knockout on engineered heart tissue(EHT) glucose metabolism.
Effect of restrictive feeding with lactate or glucose-only medium on frequency (A), force (B), and RR scatter, with R being the interval between 2 neighboring force peaks, (C) of wild-type and knockout EHTs. n=8, *P<0.05, ***P<0.001. D, Relative transcript abundance of glycolytic genes in DNMT3A−/− #2 EHTs after 1 week of serum-free culture. n=3, values normalized to wild-type (dashed line). E and F, Quantification of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) protein by Western blot of DNMT3A−/− #1 and isogenic control EHTs cultured either with lipoprotein-deficient serum (LDS), control serum, or dialyzed serum. Loading control = ERK1/2; n=2 to 3 EHTs per group.
