We investigated the fate of budding yeast treated with nocodazole, a microtubule-depolymerizing drug. Cells died after mitotic arrest while staying in mitosis, suggesting that mitotic cell death, but not mitotic slippage, mainly occurs in nocodazole-treated cells. Nocodazole-treated cells showed features of apoptotic-like cell death, but not those of cell lysis or autophagy. Consistently, mitochondria-dependent production of reactive oxygen species was involved in the cell death. Similar cell death was also seen in cells after mitotic arrest by perturbation of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. In addition, caspase activity was found in nocodazole-treated cells, which was independent of the metacaspase, Mca1. Our results suggest that budding yeast can be a model to study mitotic cell death in cancer treatment with antimitotic drugs. (C) 2010 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
