Abstract
Senescence is a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest accompanied by the acquisition of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which is activated in response to a variety of damaging stimuli, including genotoxic therapy. Accumulating evidence indicates that mitotic stress also promotes entry into senescence. This occurs via a mechanism involving defective mitoses and mitotic arrest, followed by abortion of cell division and slippage in the G1 phase. In this process, mitotic slippage leads to the generation of senescent cells characterized by a large cell body and a multinucleated and/or enlarged nuclear size. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for the assessment of cell proliferation and mitotic slippage in colorectal cancer cells upon pharmacological inhibition of the mitotic kinesin KIF11, best known as EG5. This approach can be used for preliminary characterization of senescence induction by therapeutics, but requires validation with standard senescence assays.
期刊介绍：
For over fifty years, Methods in Cell Biology has helped researchers answer the question "What method should I use to study this cell biology problem?" Edited by leaders in the field, each thematic volume provides proven, state-of-art techniques, along with relevant historical background and theory, to aid researchers in efficient design and effective implementation of experimental methodologies. Over its many years of publication, Methods in Cell Biology has built up a deep library of biological methods to study model developmental organisms, organelles and cell systems, as well as comprehensive coverage of microscopy and other analytical approaches.
