We have studied the response of human transformed cells to mitotic spindle inhibition. Two paired cell lines, K562 and its parvovirus-resistant KS derivative clone, respectively nonexpressing and expressing p53, were continuously exposed to nocodazole. Apoptotic cells were observed in both lines, indicating that mitotic spindle impairment induced p53-independent apoptosis, After a transient mitotic delay, both cell lines exited mitosis, as revealed by flow-cytometric determination of MPM2 antigen and cyclin B1 expression, coupled to cytogenetic analysis of sister centromere separation. Both cell lines exited mitosis without chromatid segregation. K562 p53-deficient cells further resumed DNA synthesis, giving rise to cells with a DNA content above 4C, and reentered a polyploid cycle. In contrast, KS cells underwent a subsequent G1 arrest in the tetraploid state. Thus, G1 arrest in tetraploid cells requires p53 function in the rereplication check-point which prevents the G1/S transition following aberrant mitosis; in contrast, p53 expression is dispensable for triggering the apoptotic response in the absence of mitotic spindle.
