Polyploidy is defined as a cell with three or more whole genome sets and enables cell growth across the kingdoms of life. Studies in model organisms have revealed that polyploid cell growth can be required for optimal tissue repair and regeneration. In mammals, polyploid cell growth contributes to repair of many tissues, including the liver, heart, kidney, bladder, and eye, and similar strategies have been identified in and zebrafish tissues. This review discusses the heterogeneity and versatility of polyploidy in tissue repair and regeneration. Polyploidy has been shown to restore tissue mass and maintain organ size as well as protect against oncogenic insults and genotoxic stress. Polyploid cells can also serve as a reservoir for new diploid cells in regeneration. The numerous mechanisms to generate polyploid cells provide an unlimited resource for tissues to exploit to undergo repair or regeneration.
多倍体是指具有三个或更多整套基因组的细胞,使细胞能够在生命的各个领域中生长。在模式生物中的研究表明,多倍体细胞的生长对于最佳的组织修复和再生是必需的。在哺乳动物中,多倍体细胞的生长有助于许多组织的修复,包括肝脏、心脏、肾脏、膀胱和眼睛,并且在 和斑马鱼组织中也已经确定了类似的策略。本文讨论了多倍体在组织修复和再生中的异质性和多功能性。多倍体已被证明可以恢复组织质量并维持器官大小,以及抵御致癌刺激和遗传毒性应激。多倍体细胞还可以作为再生中新的二倍体细胞的储备库。产生多倍体细胞的众多机制为组织提供了无限的资源,以利用它们进行修复或再生。
