a, GEO datasets of primary endothelial mouse cells comparing Slc2a1 and Slc2a3 from different organs. Fold change indicates that data are normalized to Slc2a1 except for E-GEOD-47067 which was normalized to average of Slc2a1 in all tissues. Only controls of experiments in the GEO datasets were used in these analyses. (n = 3 independent biological replicates for each condition for E-GEOD-15760; n = 6 independent biological replicates for each condition for E-GEOD-20741; n = 3 independent biological replicates for each condition for E-MTAB-5921; n = 3 independent biological replicates for each condition for E-GEOD-40999; n = 3 independent biological replicates for each condition for E-GEOD-11870; n = 3 independent biological replicates for each condition for E-GEOD-1576; n = 3 independent biological replicates for condition in each organ for E-GEOD-47067) b, Immunofluorescence of an arterial section demonstrating enhanced mScarlet-i fluorescence (red) colocalized with ve-cadh (green) which marks the endothelium next to the lumen (yellow, merge) (Scale bar, 500 μm, representative of n = 4 mice). c, SLC2A3 expressing plasmid uses an endothelial specific CDH5 promoter. SLC2A3 is detected by qRT-PCR of the intima of the mouse aorta, and far less than in the media and adventitia. (n = 4 independent biological replicates, p = 0.0030) d, Evans blue (OD 620 nm) quantification of mouse aortas, normalized by weight. (n = 8 independent biological replicates for each condition, p = 0.0050). Statistical significance was determined by two-sided Welch’s t-test. All error bars are SEM.
