    Targeting the highly expressed CWC22 strongly decreases the viable number in cancers . A , the relative mRNA expression of CWC22 in normal pancreatic tissue and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissue ( left ) and normal cervical tissue and cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) tissue ( right ) in GSE60979 and GSE7410 datasets are shown, respectively. B , pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) patients ( left ) and CESC patients ( right ) in TCGA datasets were divided into two groups based on CWC22 expression level, and Kaplan–Meier curves for overall survival are shown. C , MIA PaCa-2 cells or HeLa S3 cells were transfected with control siRNA (siControl) or CWC22-targeting siRNAs (siCWC22#1 and #2). After siRNA transfection, the cells were further cultured for 5 days. Cell numbers were counted 2, 4, and 6 days after seeding, and viable cell numbers were plotted. D , model of the role of CWC22 in cell cycle progression in cancer cells. Control cells exhibit proper cell cycle progression. CWC22 knockdown prolongs G2 phase duration because of the DNA damage accumulation. CWC22-knockdown cells entering mitosis undergo defects in chromosome alignment and subsequent mitotic slippage because of the APC/C activation and CDK1 inactivation through both BubR1 downregulation and accumulation of inhibitory phosphorylation of CDK1. Eventually, cells undergoing prolonged interphase or mitotic slippage exhibit cell death. APC/C, anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome; CDK1, cyclin-dependent kinase 1; TCGA, The Cancer Genome Atlas.

Reversine treated oocytes have an accelerated progression through meiosis and are therefore aligned at GVBD. All n numbers refer to the number of individual oocytes analysed over a minimum of three independent experiments. All error bars ± SEM.

B , pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) patients ( left ) and CESC patients ( right ) in TCGA datasets were divided into two groups based on CWC22 expression level, and Kaplan–Meier curves for overall survival are shown. C , MIA PaCa-2 cells or HeLa S3 cells were transfected with control siRNA (siControl) or CWC22-targeting siRNAs (siCWC22#1 and #2). After siRNA transfection, the cells were further cultured for 5 days. Cell numbers were counted 2, 4, and 6 days after seeding, and viable cell numbers were plotted. D , model of the role of CWC22 in cell cycle progression in cancer cells. Control cells exhibit proper cell cycle progression. CWC22 knockdown prolongs G2 phase duration because of the DNA damage accumulation. CWC22-knockdown cells entering mitosis undergo defects in chromosome alignment and subsequent mitotic slippage because of the APC/C activation and CDK1 inactivation through both BubR1 downregulation and accumulation of inhibitory phosphorylation of CDK1. Eventually, cells undergoing prolonged interphase or mitotic slippage exhibit cell death. APC/C, anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome; CDK1, cyclin-dependent kinase 1; TCGA, The Cancer Genome Atlas.

    APC/C inhibition reduces DLBCL and MCL viability and induces caspase-3-mediated apoptosis. a , b Effect of proTAME treatment on cell viability. MCL and DLBCL cell lines were treated for 24 h with proTAME (3, 6 and 12 µM) and the effect on viability was determined using a CellTiter-Glo assay ( a ). The results are shown as % viability relative to control. The IC-50 values for each cell line were calculated using Prism ( b ). c , d Effect of proTAME treatment on apoptosis. The effect of proTAME treatment on apoptosis ( c ) and percentage of active caspase-3- positive cells ( d ) was determined after 24 h, using an Annexin V/7′-AAD staining, followed by flow-cytometric analysis, and active caspase-3 staining followed by flow-cytometric analysis. The percentage of apoptotic cells are the sum of the percentage of Annexin V and Annexin V/7′-AAD positive cells. The results shown in graphs a , c and d are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001. e , f The effect of proTAME treatment on primary patient samples.

    Pharmacological inhibition of the APC/C with proTAME results in a metaphase arrest. a Effect of proTAME treatment on the substrates of the APC/C co-activators Cdc20 and Cdh1. Expression of cyclin B1 and Skp2 was determined at different timepoints in the MCL and DLBCL cell lines after synchronisation and release into proTAME treatment (3 µM in SU-DHL-6 and 6 µM in Jeko-1 and U2932). APC3 and β-actin were used as indicators of mitotic arrest and loading control. Arrows show the phosphorylated APC3. One experiment representative of three is shown (the results shown are from the same experiment as those shown in Fig. ). Normalisation was performed with Image J and quantification relative to the M condition is shown. Bars represent the mean± SD of three independent experiments. b , c Effect of proTAME treatment on cell cycle progression. The effect on cell cycle progression was determined using PI staining on cell lines treated with 3 µM (SU-DHL-6) or 6 µM (Jeko-1 and U2932) proTAME for the indicated timepoints after synchronisation ( b ). To further examine the effect on mitosis, cytospins of these treated cells were stained with May–Grünwald Giemsa. For each sample, 3 × 100 cells were counted per cytospin. Quantification of the percentage of cells in the metaphase is shown ( c ). The results shown in each graph are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01.

The expression of Mcl-1, Cdc4, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL protein and phosphorylation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL was determined at different timepoints in the synchronised MCL and DLBCL cell lines after proTAME treatment (3 µM in SU-DHL-6 and 6 µM in Jeko-1 and U2932) using western blot. APC3 and β-actin were used as indicators of mitotic arrest and loading control. Arrows show the phosphorylated APC3.
