- Аннотация: To elucidate possible causes of the elevation of genome number in somatic cells, hepatocyte ploidy levels were measured cytofluorimetrically and related to the organismal parameters (body size, postnatal growth rate, and postnatal development type) in 53 mammalian species. Metabolic scope (ratio of maximal metabolic rate to basal metabolic rate) was also included in 23 species. Body masses ranged 10(5) times, and growth rate more than 30 times. Postnatal growth rate was found to have the strongest effect on the hepatocyte ploidy. At a fixed body mass the growth rate closely correlates (partial correlation analysis) with the cell ploidy level (r = 0.85, P < 10(-6)), whereas at a fixed growth rate body mass correlates poorly with ploidy level (r = -0.38, P < 0.01). The mature young (precocial mammals) of the species have, on average, a higher cell ploidy level than the immature-born (altricial) animals. However, the relationship between precocity of young and cell ploidy levels disappears when the influences of growth rate and body mass are removed. Interspecies variability of the hepatocyte ploidy levels may be explained by different levels of competition between the processes of proliferation and differentiation in cells. In turn, the animal differences in the levels of this competition are due to differences in growth rate. A high negative correlation between the hepatocyte ploidy level and the metabolic scope indicates a low safety margin of organs with a high number of polyploid cells. This fact allows us to challenge a common opinion that increasing ploidy enhances the functional capability of cells or is necessary for cell differentiation. Somatic polyploidy can be considered a "cheap" solution of growth problems that appear when an organ is working at the limit of its capabilities.
