Model of Cardiomyocyte Polyploidization as a Barrier to Heart Regeneration

(A) Hearts composed almost exclusively of diploid cardiomyocytes (1×2c), such as those in the adult zebrafish and mouse neonate, regenerate efficiently after amputation through myocardial proliferation.

(B) In mosaic hearts composed of diploid (GFP⁻) and polyploid-enriched (GFP⁺) cardiomyocyte populations, diploid cardiomyocytes proliferate actively to replace injured muscle, with minor contributions from the polyploid-enriched population.

(C) Minimizing the proportion of diploid cardiomyocytes in the zebrafish heart, a situation similar to that in adult mammals, including humans, results in reduced cardiomyocyte proliferation and persistent scarring.

Dashed line, plane of amputation; dark area, amputated tissue; blue boxes, regenerated myocardium; red and green cells, diploid and polyploid-enriched cardiomyocyte populations.
