Abstract

Tumour formation is blocked by two barriers, replicative senescence and crisis¹. Senescence is triggered by brusque telomeres and is bypassed by disruption of tumour suppressive pathways. After senescence bypass, cells undergo crunch, during which almost all of the cells in the population die. Cells that escape crunch harbor unstable genomes and other parameters of transformation. The machinery of prison cell death during crunch remained elusive. We show that cells in crisis undergo spontaneous mitotic arrest, resulting in death during mitosis or in the following jail cell cycle. The phenotype was induced by loss of p53 function, and suppressed by telomerase overexpression. Telomere fusions triggered mitotic arrest in p53-compromised not-crisis cells, indicating such fusions every bit the underlying cause. Exacerbation of mitotic telomere deprotection by partial TRF2 knockdownⁱⁱ increased the ratio of cells that died during mitotic arrest and sensitized cancer cells to mitotic poisons. We advise a crisis pathway wherein chromosome fusions induce mitotic arrest, resulting in mitotic telomere deprotection and prison cell death, thereby eliminating precancerous cells from the population.

Replicative senescence is induced by partially deprotected telomeres, which actuate a DNA harm response (DDR) without telomere fusions². Crisis requires the bypass of senescence through loss of checkpoints and causes massive cell expiry concomitant with further telomere shortening and spontaneous telomere fusions. Notwithstanding, the mechanism of jail cell death was non understood. Mitotic arrest is associated with spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) independent telomere deprotection³, and nosotros therefore set out to test whether prolonged mitosis could play a role.

We monitored mitotic duration using live cell imaging. Mitosis in primary IMR-90 fibroblasts lasted <45 min. All the same, IMR-90 fibroblasts expressing HPV16 E6 and E7, which inhibit p53 and Rb^iv, displayed variable mitotic elapsing upon senescence featherbed (Fig. 1a, b). Prolonged mitosis, defined as mitosis of >2 h, became prominent in pre-crisis cells (Extended Data Fig. 1a). Spontaneous mitotic arrest also occurred in pre-crunch cells post-obit expression of E6 or dominant-negative p53dd (Extended Data Fig. 1b), indicating that loss of p53 office was required (Fig. 1c, d and Extended Information Fig. 1c, d).

Overexpressing hTERT^5,6 prevented senescence in IMR-90 cells (Fig. 1c, d and Extended Data Fig. 1c, d). Telomere elongation in IMR-xc E6E7 or p53dd cells also suppressed mitotic arrest (Fig. 1e, f and Extended Data Fig. 2a-c), confirming telomere shortening as the cause. Reversine inhibition of MPS1⁷ suppressed mitotic arrest (Extended Information Fig. 1e), indicating dependence on the SAC. Hesperadin, an Aurora B kinase inhibitor required for activation of the SAC upon tensionless kinetochore-microtubule attachment⁸, suppressed mitotic arrest (Extended Data Fig. 1e), suggesting aberrant kinetochore-microtubule attachment.

To determine if telomere fusion causes mitotic arrest, nosotros used two independent guide RNAs (sgTRF2-1 and -2)^nine, which efficiently reduced TRF2 expression and induced telomere fusions in young IMR-90 E6E7 cells (Fig. 2a and Extended Data Fig. 2d, east). These guide RNAs also led to mitotic abort, comparable to IMR-90 E6E7 cells around PD108 (Fig. 2b and Extended Data Fig. 2f). Suppression of both telomere fusion and mitotic arrest by a resistant TRF2 (TRF2^RsgRNA) excludes astray effects (Fig. 2c, d and Extended Data Fig. 3a-c).

Telomere fusions induce mitotic arrest

NS, non significant. Mann-Whitney test.

To address whether telomeric DDR or telomere fusion induces mitotic arrest, we deleted TRF2 in young IMR-90 E6E7 cells lacking 53BP1 or Ligase four (Extended Data Fig. 3d, e)^ten,11. Suppression of 53BP1 or Ligase 4 strongly reduced fusion frequency (Fig. 2e) and prevented mitotic arrest (Fig. 2f, h), but did non reduce the number of deprotected telomeres (Fig. 2g and Extended Data Fig. 3f), thereby separating mitotic delay from DDR. Both telomere fusion and mitotic arrest phenotypes were suppressed past ATM inhibitor^12,13,xiv (Extended Information Fig. 3g-j), again indicating that telomere fusion underlies mitotic arrest. ATM inhibition did not suppress mitotic arrest induced by Taxol^xv (Extended Data Fig. 3k and l), confirming that the inhibitor does not perturb the SAC. Additionally, cells expressing shTRF2-F, which causes telomere deprotection in the absence of fusion², did not undergo abort (Fig. 2a, b and Extended Information Fig. 2e, f). These data are consistent with the ascertainment that senescent cells, while harboring a number of unfused deprotected telomeres^two,16 do not display mitotic arrest (Fig. 1b and Extended Data Fig. 1a).

Deletion of TRF2 increased anaphase bridge frequency and pericentrin foci (Extended Data Fig. 4a, b) vii d postal service infection, indicating multipolar mitosis when cells display telomere fusions and mitotic arrest. Accordingly, sgTRF2-2 cells exhibit unaligned metaphase chromosomes (Extended Data Fig. 4c), suggesting a chromosome congression defect. Tetraploidy did non increase equally dramatically as the pericentrin foci (Extended Information Fig. 4d), ruling out tetraploidization and centrosome amplification due to anaphase bridges and cytokinesis failure, equally the cause of multipolarity. Nosotros conclude that multipolarity contributes to the mitotic arrest phenotype, although it is not clear how telomere fusions bulldoze centrosome abnormality.

Mitotic arrest in young IMR-90 cells induces mitotic telomere deprotectionⁱⁱⁱ. To examine whether spontaneous mitotic arrest in pre-crisis cells also induces telomere deprotection we used premature sister separation, either crusade or outcome of mitotic arrest^17,xviii, as a marker of prolonged mitosis. Indeed, cells in pre-crunch displayed increased premature chromatid separation (Fig. 3a). Telomeric γ-H2AX foci analysis (meta-TIF)^19,twenty revealed that metaphase spreads with separated chromatids displayed increased telomere deprotection (Fig. 3b, c and Extended Data Fig. 5a). Accordingly, suppression of TRF2 in immature IMR90 E6E7 cells non only caused fusion and prolonged mitosis (Fig. 2a, b), just also increased premature separation (Extended Data Fig 5b).

Calibration bar, 10 µm.

Cells exhibiting premature separation were mostly near-diploid, excluding the possibility that they have an increased number of telomeric ends (Extended Information Fig. 5c). We conclude that prolonged mitosis in pre-crisis is associated with a telomere DDR and that mitotic arrest occurs in near-diploid cells. Consistently the ratio of tetraploid cells in pre-crunch cultures did not increase every bit prominently as the percentage of cells undergoing mitotic arrest (Extended Data Fig. 5d, east). We also hardly observed diplochromosomes, which are a upshot of two rounds of Deoxyribonucleic acid replication without mitosis (endoreduplication) and thereby tetraploid (Fig. 3a).

Adjacent we asked how prolonged mitotic arrest affects cellular fate in pre-crisis. Live jail cell imaging indicated three potential outcomes: cytokinesis, slippage (mitotic exit without cytokinesis), and jail cell death (Fig. 3d)²¹. Mitotic duration correlated with cellular fate, as cells that spent the least amount of fourth dimension in mitosis underwent cytokinesis, and cells that resided longer in mitosis tended to slip or dice (Fig. 3e). The cell death ratio increased significantly from nineteen% in cells arrested for 2 – 6 h to l% in cells arrested for half dozen – 10 h and to 69% in cells arrested >10 h (Fig. 3f).

Nonetheless, we noted that cells also died during interphase. Live prison cell imaging revealed that 32% (86/266) of death occurred subsequently prolonged mitosis (>2 h), 14% (38/266) of cells died during mitosis lasting <2 h and 53% (142/266) of cells died in interphase (Fig. 3g). To accost whether cells that died during a brusque mitosis or interphase were associated with prolonged mitosis in the previous cell bicycle, we traced the cells in question to the mitosis earlier death. Of the cells that succumb in interphase, 46% of the traceable previous mitosis was prolonged (eighteen/39) (Fig. 3g). Of the cells that died during a short mitosis, 29% of the previous mitosis was prolonged (4/14) (Fig. 3g), indicating that prison cell decease during either brusque mitosis or in interphase follows prolonged mitosis in the previous bike.

Fractional knockdown of TRF2 exacerbates mitotic telomere deprotection in young IMR-ninety E6E7 cellsⁱⁱ. To understand whether mitotic telomere deprotection is the cause of death in pre-crisis, we tested whether a partial knockdown of TRF2 would heighten jail cell death upon spontaneous mitotic arrest. IMR-90 E6E7 cells were transduced with shTRF2-F at PD45, PD70 or PD85² (Extended Data Fig. 6a). The resulting partial suppression of TRF2 did not affect cell growth dynamics in the younger populations, but slowed down growth in the population infected at PD85 (Fig. 4a-c). However, in all settings, the cells entered crisis prematurely (Fig. 4a-c). γ-H2AX foci analysis effectually PD100 revealed that shTRF2-F cells suffer from increased numbers of TIF, which was profoundly enhanced on separated chromatids (Fig. 4d and Extended Information Fig. 6b, c). Appropriately, live jail cell imaging revealed shTRF2-F expression increased the cell decease ratio specially after a short catamenia of mitotic abort (Fig. 4e). In contrast, TRF2 overexpression (Extended Information Fig. 6d), which partially suppresses mitotic telomere deprotection³, reduced cell death after mitotic arrest, suppressed TIF and delayed crunch (Extended Data Fig. 6e, f, g). Neither shTRF2-F nor TRF2 overexpression affected mitotic duration (Extended Data Fig. 6h, i). shTRF2-F also did not increase fusion frequency (Extended Data Fig. 6j), thereby attributing the increased cell expiry to exaggerated loss of TRF2, not to increased fusion formation. Appropriately, loss of TRF2 in cells lacking 53BP1 significantly increased prison cell expiry and shortened the mitotic duration prior to prison cell decease upon colcemid-induced mitotic arrest (Extended Information Fig. 3d and 7a, b). Furthermore, inhibition of Aurora B kinase by hesperadin, which suppresses mitotic telomere deprotection³ (Extended Data Fig. 7c), greatly reduced prison cell death upon colcemid exposure (Extended Data Fig. 7d, e), supporting a model, where amplified telomere deprotection induced by mitotic arrest triggers cell expiry.

Mitotic telomere deprotection dictates cellular fate upon mitotic arrest

Correct, the ratio between LogIC50 of sh-scramble and shTRF2-F from three independent experiments (two-tailed t-examination). g, Model of mitotic cell expiry pathway during crisis. *P<0.05, **P<0.005, ***P<0.0001. NS, not pregnant.

This model predicts that shTRF2-F would sensitize cells to drugs that induce mitotic abort. Therefore HT1080 6TG cells expressing sh-scramble or shTRF2-F were exposed to Taxol, vinblastine, dimethyl-enastron²² and as a control the topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin. Expression of shTRF2-F significantly sensitized HT1080 6TG cells to Taxol, vinblastine, and dimethyl-enastron, all of which induce mitotic arrest (Fig. 4f). No such effect was observed upon exposure to camptothecin (Fig. 4f), confirming that TRF2 levels affect cellular fate specifically upon mitotic arrest.

Here we show that chromosome end-to-finish fusions during crunch cause spontaneous mitotic arrest, amplifying telomere deprotection, which determines cellular fate. We suggest that telomere deprotection upon spontaneous mitotic arrest is the underlying molecular signal that leads to prison cell expiry in crisis (Fig. 4g). While we cannot dominion out a role of fusion breakage cycles and the resulting chromosomal abnormalities as cause of death²³, several observations contend against information technology: Just few fusions are observed in crisis cells (Fig. 2a), which is enough to trigger prolonged mitosis (Fig. 2b). Disruption of TRF2 leads to the rapid onset of prolonged mitosis, arguing against long-term effects of fusion breakage cycles (Fig. 2a). Cells succumb to expiry in the start prolonged mitosis, or in the following jail cell cycle (Fig. 3f, g), ruling out a long-term procedure. Increasing damage signals without increasing fusion frequency causes more death (Fig. 4e and Extended Information Fig 7a), arguing for signaling from deprotected telomeres every bit the cause for decease. Since most prison cell expiry during pre-crisis is associated with mitotic arrest, we suggest that prolonged mitosis is the primary machinery that limits cellular life bridge upon bypass of senescence. These findings might too offer a clinical opportunity, since exacerbation of mitotic telomere deprotection sensitises cancer cells to mitotic drugs. Mitotic arrest, however, has also been associated with tumourigenesis in checkpoint-compromised cells²⁴. Similarly, os marrow failure and cancer in individuals with telomeropathies are frequent, which could potentially be explained by mitotic arrest resulting from overly curt telomeres^25,26. Telomere-driven spontaneous mitotic arrest and the resulting mitotic telomere deprotection in the pre-crisis stage may thus function as a double-edged sword, explaining both cell death and chromosome instability upon bypass of senescence.

Methods

Cell culture and treatment

Homo IMR-xc primary lung fibroblasts (ATCC) and their derivatives were grown in Glutamax-DMEM (Gibco) supplemented with 0.1 mM nonessential Amino Acids and xv% Fetal Bovine Serum. HT1080 6TG cells were grown in Glutamax-DMEM supplemented with 0.1 mM Nonessential Amino Acids and ten% Bovine Growth Serum. All cells were grown at 7.five% CO₂ and 3% O₂. Colcemid (Life Technologies), Taxol (A. G. Scientific), vinblastine (A. G. Scientific), dimethylenastron (A. G. Scientific), hesperadin (Selleck), reversine (Selleck) and camptothecin (Selleck) were used at indicated concentration. ATM inhibitor (KU-55933) (Tocris) was used at ten μM. FACS analysis was performed as described²⁷. Cells were tested for mycoplasma contamination and plant negative.

Live cell imaging

Live-imaging was performed in 8 well µ-slide chambers (iBidi) on a Zeiss inverted fluorescent microscope with a 20× 0.8NA air objective at 37°C and seven.5% CO₂ (XLmulti S1 module, Zeiss). Images were captured with an AxioCam MRm (Zeiss) using Axio Vision software (Zeiss) typically every half-dozen min for at least 48 h. Mitotic duration was divers every bit movie frames from nuclear envelope break downwards or a previous frame of cell rounding to a frame of cytokinesis, slippage or mitotic prison cell death. Prolonged mitosis was defined as a mitosis that continues for more than ii h. Cells that escaped from a moving-picture show screen during prolonged mitosis were included in the mitotic duration analysis just excluded from the jail cell fate assay.

For shTRF2-F, image capture was started 5 d after infection. For sgEMPTY, sgTRF2-1 and sgTRF2-2, image capture was started 7 d after infection. Where indicated, population doubling is the 1 at their seeding, typically 1 d prior to the starting date of image capture. Typically more than ii independent movies were analyzed to ostend reproducibility except for Fig.1b, where one movie was analyzed per data point. Where indicated, Taxol, colcemid and hesperadin were added to the culture right before starting live imaging.

Vectors and viral Infections

Target sequences of CRISPR/Cas9 are equally follows²⁸: sgTRF2-1, 5′-ACTGCATAACCCGCAGCAAT-(PAM)-3′; sgTRF2-2, 5′-TGTCTGTCGCGGATTGAAGA-(PAM)-3′; sg53BP1, five′-CAGAATCATCCTCTAGAACC-(PAM)-3′; and sgLIG4, 5′-TGGCGTCGAAACATACTGAG-(PAM)-iii′. Target sequences of sg53BP1 and sgLIG4 were offset cloned into LentiCRISPR vector (Addgene plasmid 49535), followed by recloning of the guide RNA expression cassette (U6 promoter, target sequence and gRNA scaffold) into NheI site of LentiCas9-Blast vector (Addgene plasmid 52962). BsmBI-digested LentiCRISPR vector and LentiGuide-puro (Addgene plasmid 52963) was incubated with T4 PNK (Bill), Klenow fragment (NEB), and then T4 DNA ligase (NEB) to generate LentiCRISPR-sgEMPTY and LentiGuide-sgEMPTY, respectively. Silent mutations that pWZL-TRF2^RsgRNA carries are; 5′-G CTC CTC AGA GTG ATG CAA T-three′ for sgTRF2-1, and 5′-TGC CTC AGC AGA ATC GAG GA-iii′ for sgTRF2-2.

IMR-ninety cells were infected with pLXSN3-HPV16E6, pLXSN3-HPV16E7, pLXSN3-HPV16E6E7, pLXSN3-p53dd, and pBabe-hTert retroviral vectors as described²⁹, and subjected to long term culturing in the presence of 600 μg/ml G418 (Mediatech, Inc.) (for pLXSN3) or 2 μg/ml puromycin (Mediatech, Inc.) (for pBabe). TRF2^RsgRNA-expressing IMR-xc E6E7 cells were selected in the presence of 100 ng/ml hygromycin (Mediatech, Inc.) for 6 d and subjected to LentiCRISPR infection.

Lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with VSV glycoprotein were generated by the Salk Constitute Gene Transfer, Targeting and Therapeutics (GT3) Cadre using a modified protocol³⁰. For sh-scramble (Addgene plasmid 1864), shTRF2-F, LentiCRISPR-sgEMPTY, LentiCRISPR-sgTRF2-1, LentiCRISPR-sgTRF2-2, LentiCas9-Blast, LentiCas9-Blast-sg53BP1, LentiCas9-Nail-sgLIG4, LentiGuide-sgEMPTY, and LentiGuide-sgTRF2-2, cells were plated in growth media containing iv μg/ml polybrene and lentivirus and cultured for two days. Puromycin and Blasticidin were added to the culture at 2 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml, respectively, and infected cells were selected for more than than 3 d earlier analysis. Where indicated, ATMi was added iv d afterward infection and medium was refreshed every 1-two d. For fusion assay, cells were harvested 7 d after infection or at indicated PD.

Mitotic duration data sets of IMR-90 E6E7 cells in Fig. 1b were analysed by Kruskal-Wallis test to observe trend (P<0.0001), in addition to Mann-Whitney test every bit described to a higher place. For statistical analysis of cellular fate later mitotic arrest, ratio of death versus non-death (cytokinesis and slippage) were analysed by 2-tailed Fisher's exact test. For Fig. 3f, data from curt (ii – vi h) and center mitotic arrest (6 – 10 h) were combined and compared to that of long mitotic arrest (>10 h). The null hypothesis was rejected when P values were less than 0.05. No randomization was performed. All statistical analysis was performed using Prism half-dozen software.
