Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes are mitotically activated by the increase in intracellular glucose. (a) Representative flow cytometry profile of the ventricular cardiomyocytes from P7 Wild type and Glut1 transgenic hearts stained with Tnnt2 and Mitotracker. (b) Representative flow cytometry plot of EdU incorporation assay of Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes. Wild type and Glut1 transgenic mice were injected with EdU and the ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated and analyzed by Tnnt2, Mitotracker, and EdU staining. (c) Mitotic index of Tnnt2high and Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes in Wild type and Glut1 transgenic heart with or without injury. n = 3–8. *p < 0.05. ***p < 0.001. Note that Tnn2low cardiomyocytes are more mitotic than Tnn2high cardiomyocytes and that the mitotic activity of Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes drastically increases in Glut1 transgenic background.
