In several cancer cell lines, depleting the microtubule-destabilizing protein stathmin/oncoprotein18 leads to a G2 cell cycle delay and apoptosis. These phenotypes are observed only in synergy with low levels of p53, but the pathway(s) activated by stathmin depletion to delay the cell cycle are unknown. We found that stathmin depletion caused greater microtubule stability in synergy with loss of p53, measured by the levels of acetylated α-tubulin and the rate of centrosomal microtubule nucleation. Nocodazole or vinblastine-induced microtubule depolymerization abrogated the stathmin-depletion induced G2 delay, measured by the percentage of cells staining positive for several markers (TPX2, CDK1 with inhibitory phosphorylation), indicating that microtubules are required to lengthen G2. Live cell imaging showed that stathmin depletion increased time in G2 without an impact on the duration of mitosis, indicating that the longer interphase duration is not simply a consequence of a previous slowed mitosis. In contrast, stabilization of microtubules with paclitaxel (8 nM) slowed mitosis without lengthening the duration of interphase, demonstrating that increased microtubule stability alone is not sufficient to delay cells in G2.
