| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Polyploid embryos such as tetraploid are lethal in mammalian. In this study, we aimed to elucidate how genome duplication affects tissue distribution of embryonic stem cells in early mammalian development. Tetraploid embryonic stem cells-derived cells were observed in the inner cell mass of blastocysts and in various tissue and yolk sac at E12.5. Thus, our findings suggested that mouse ESCs maintained intrinsic pluripotency and tissue distribution despite genome duplication, but directionality and distribution of embryonic stem cells altered by genome duplication. These results provide insights into our understanding of developmental elimination in polyploid mammals.
