[Correlation between the number of centrioles and ploidy of mouse liver hepatocytes].
Using the electron microscope it was shown that in interphase hepatocytes with ploidies equal to 2n, 2n.2, 4n, 4n.2 and 8n, the number of centrioles per cell exactly corresponded to the ploidy of the cell. Both in mononuclear and binuclear cells all the centrioles are accumulated in one complex in which each pair of centrioles forms a diplosome. In binuclear cells, the complex of diplosomes is situated at equal distances from each nucleus, thus making the cell centre. The involvement of the supernumerous centrioles in polyploid metaphase cells was detected for the regenerating liver of old mice. It was found that each mitotic pole had at least four centrioles. In the pole, a pair of centrioles forms diplosomes tightly connected to each other. It is suggested that the initially tetraploid cell might divide in this manner. In addition, a question is discussed on how the existence of centrioles can be associated with the mechanism of polyploidization.
