タイトル Endosulfine alpha maintains spindle pole integrity by recruiting Aurora A during mitosis.
ジャーナル BMC Cancer
Abstract BACKGROUND:The maintenance of spindle pole integrity is essential for spindle assembly and chromosome segregation during mitosis. However, the underlying mechanisms governing spindle pole integrity remain unclear.
METHODS:ENSA was inhibited by siRNA or MKI-2 treatment and its effect on cell cycle progression, chromosome alignment and microtubule alignment was observed by immunohistochemical staining and western blotting. PP2A-B55α knockdown by siRNA was performed to rescue the phenotype caused by ENSA inhibition. The interaction between ENSA and Aurora A was detected by in situ PLA. Furthermore, orthotopic implantation of 4Tl-luc cancer cells was conducted to confirm the consistency between the in vitro and in vivo relationship of the ENSA-Aurora A interaction.
RESULTS:During mitosis, p-ENSA is localized at the spindle poles, and the inhibition of ENSA results in mitotic defects, such as misaligned chromosomes, multipolar spindles, asymmetric bipolar spindles, and centrosome defects, with a delay in mitotic progression. Although the mitotic delay caused by ENSA inhibition was rescued by PP2A-B55α depletion, spindle pole defects persisted. Notably, we observed a interaction between ENSA and Aurora A during mitosis, and inhibition of ENSA reduced Aurora A expression at the mitotic spindle poles. Injecting MKI-2-sensitized tumors led to increased chromosomal instability and downregulation of the MASTL-ENSA-Aurora A pathway in an orthotopic breast cancer mouse model.
CONCLUSIONS:These findings provide novel insights into the regulation of spindle pole integrity by the MASTL-ENSA-Aurora A pathway during mitosis, highlighting the significance of ENSA in recruiting Aurora A to the spindle pole, independent of PP2A-B55α.
