Impact of hydroxyurea on the proliferation of Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes. (a) Representative contour plots (left) for Tnnt2 and Mitotracker and dot plots (right) for EdU and DNA content by flow cytometry analysis at P7. Wild type and Glut1 transgenic hearts were cryoinjured at P1 and treated with daily injection of HU or vehicle until the analysis at P7. (b) Quantification of %EdU positive cells in Tnnt2high and Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes in wild type and Glut1 transgenic hearts with or without HU treatment. Note that both Tnnt2high and Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes respond to HU treatment but that EdU incorporation of Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes was drastically decreased by HU treatment. n = 4. ***p < 0.01. (c) Quantification of the Tnnt2high and Tnnt2low fractions of cardiomyocytes in wild type and Glut1 transgenic hearts with or without HU treatment. While Tnnt2high or Tnnt2low fractions was not influenced by HU in wild type heart, HU treatment significantly decreased the percentage of Tnnt2low cardiomyocytes in Glut1 transgenic hearts. n = 4. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001.
