SUMMARY
Chromosomal instability is a hallmark of cancer and correlates with the presence of extra centrosomes, which originate from centriole overduplication. Overduplicated centrioles lead to the formation of centriole rosettes, which mature into supernumerary centrosomes in the subsequent cell cycle. While extra centrosomes promote chromosome missegregation by clustering into pseudo-bipolar spindles, the contribution of centriole rosettes to chromosome missegregation is unknown. We used multi-modal imaging of cells with conditional centriole overduplication to show that mitotic rosettes in bipolar spindles frequently harbor unequal centriole numbers, leading to biased chromosome capture that favors binding to the prominent pole. This results in chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy. Rosette mitoses lead to viable offspring and significantly contribute to progeny production. We further show that centrosome abnormalities in primary human malignancies frequently consist of centriole rosettes. As asymmetric centriole rosettes generate mitotic errors that can be propagated, rosette mitoses are sufficient to cause chromosome missegregation in cancer. INTRODUCTION Chromosomal instability, a condition characterized by high rates of chromosome gains and losses during cell division, is a hallmark of cancer (Hanahan and Weinberg, 2011; Lengauer et al., 1997). Anaphase-lagging chromosomes, caused by unresolved
merotelic kinetochore-microtubule attachments, are a leading source of chromosome missegregation with consequential aneuploidy and clonal heterogeneity observed in the majority of human tumors (Cimini et al., 2001; Thompson and Compton, 2008). Mechanistically, the most prominent cause of chromosome missegregation is the presence of supernumerary centrosomes (Vitre and Cleveland, 2012). Centrosomes are the major microtubule-organizing centers in mammalian cells, and they consist of a pair of centrioles embedded in pericentriolar material (PCM) (Bettencourt-Dias and Glover, 2007). Centrosomes duplicate once per cell cycle, with the newly formed daughter centrioles undergoing maturation that lasts almost two cell cycles. Therefore, each cell contains three generations of centrioles, an older and a younger mother centriole referred to as parental centrioles, and two daughter centrioles, one produced by each parent at the beginning of S phase. Only the old mother centriole is structurally fully mature and decorated with subdistal and distal appendages (Kong et al., 2014). Centrosome abnormalities are found in the vast majority of cancers where their presence correlates with karyotype abnormalities and poor prognosis (Go¨nczy, 2015; Lingle et al., 2002; Neben et al., 2003; Nigg, 2002; Pihan et al., 1998). Several studies in flies and mice provide evidence that extra centrosomes promote tumorigenesis (Basto et al., 2008; Coelho et al., 2015; Levine et al., 2017; Sabino et al., 2015; Serc¸in et al., 2016). Apart from inducing chromosome missegregation, centrosome abnormalities have been proposed to contribute to tumorigenesis in additional ways, including defects in asymmetric cell division and promotion of invasion (Basto et al., 2008; Godinho et al., 2014). In cells with extra centrosomes, lagging chromosomes and chromosome missegregation can result from transient multipolar spindle intermediates in which merotelic attachment errors accumulate before centrosomes are clustered into a pseudo-bipolar spindle array (Ganem et al., 2009; Silkworth et al., 2009).

principle, extra centrosomes can arise through centriole overduplication or through the accumulation of mature centrosomes by aborted cell division, cell fusion, or centrosome clustering (Nigg, 2002). The pattern produced by these two mechanisms is different. Centriole overduplication initially leads to the formation of centriole rosettes, comprised of mother centrioles surrounded by numerous daughters, which remain engaged and function as single units within their first cell cycle and give rise to autonomous extra centrosomes only thereafter (Ganem et al., 2009; Habedanck et al., 2005; Kleylein-Sohn et al., 2007). On the other hand, aborted cell division, cell fusion, and centrosome clustering lead to the accumulation of multiple mature mother centrioles (Ganem et al., 2009; Silkworth et al., 2009). It is unknown whether, in addition to centrosome clustering, other mechanisms contribute to chromosome missegregation in cancer cells with extra centrosomes. Also, the causes of centrosome abnormalities as well as their composition in primary human tumor cells remain to be elucidated. Here we have identified a novel mechanism by which centriole rosettes cause chromosome missegregation via asymmetric chromosome capture in cell lines and primary tumors, and we provide evidence for centriole overduplication as a frequent origin of centrosome aberrations in primary cancer samples. RESULTS Bipolar Rosette Mitoses Induce Lagging Chromosomes and Chromosome Missegregation Mitoses immediately ensuing centriole overduplication are bipolar with a centriole rosette at one or both spindle poles (Ganem et al., 2009), referred to as rosette mitoses below (Figure 1A). To directly test the hypothesis that bipolar rosette mitoses contribute to chromosome missegregation, centriole overduplication was induced in U2OS cells by conditional expression of PLK4, the principal kinase that regulates centriole duplication (Habedanck et al., 2005; Kleylein-Sohn et al., 2007), or STIL, a protein involved in centriole duplication downstream of PLK4 (Arquint et al., 2012; Tang et al., 2011; Vulprecht et al., 2012). As expected, 15 hr after induction most spindles in GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells were bipolar with a centriole rosette at one or both poles (Figures S1A and S1B) (Ganem et al., 2009; Kleylein-Sohn et al., 2007). Compared to GFP-PLK4, GFP-STIL expression led to fewer cells with centriole overduplication and centriole rosettes with fewer daughters both in interphase and mitosis (Figure S2).
Sufficient amounts of rosette mitoses were available for analysis at 15 and 72 hr after the induction of GFP-PLK4 and GFP-STIL, respectively. At these time points, which were chosen for further experiments, rosette mitoses could be clearly identified by immunofluorescence staining for pericentrin and centrin (Figure 1B), as corroborated by Airyscan superresolution confocal microscopy as well as correlative light and focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (CLEM/FIB-SEM) with subsequent 3D image reconstruction (Figures 1C and 1D; Movie S1). Indeed, by CLEM/FIB-SEM all spindle poles identified were constituted of single rosette-type centrosomes with multiple daughter centrioles engaged to one mother, in all mitotic cells analyzed. In mitoses with extra spindle poles, centrosome clustering after transient spindle multipolarity causes chromosome missegregation by promoting merotelic kinetochore mis-attachments (Ganem et al., 2009; Silkworth et al., 2009). However, despite the presence of only two spindle poles, bipolar rosette mitoses displayed significantly increased frequencies of anaphase-lagging chromosomes in both GFP-STIL-U2OS and GFP-PLK4U2OS cells (Figures 2A and 2B). Analogous data were obtained when spontaneous rosette mitoses from unperturbed breast and prostate cancer cell lines or non-induced GFP-STIL-U2OS and GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells were examined, confirming that this effect is due to the presence of centriole rosettes and not a consequence of PLK4/STIL overexpression (Figure 2B). Livecell imaging experiments using GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells led to similar results (Figure 2C). To determine whether the observed increase in lagging chromosomes indeed reflects chromosome missegregation, we analyzed chromosome segregation among daughter cells by telophase centromere fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in cytokinesis-blocked GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells (Figures 2D and 2E) (Fenech, 2007; Zijno et al., 1994). Missegregation rates of the chromosomes examined were increased and mirrored the results obtained by scoring lagging chromosomes. These findings indicate that centriole overduplication increases the rate of chromosome missegregation via anaphase-lagging chromosomes irrespective of the formation of extra spindle poles. Centriole Rosettes Induce Increased Nucleation of Centrosomal Microtubules To ascertain how rosette mitoses affect chromosome segregation fidelity, we next analyzed whether supernumerary centrioles impact on microtubule assembly. For that, microtubules were

These rosettes remain engaged and function as single units in the first mitosis after their formation (I). In the subsequent cell cycle (II), rosette centrioles disengage and themselves bud multiple daughters. Resulting mitoses are either multipolar or clustered. Only the progeny of clustered mitoses (III) is expected to harbor multiple mature mother centrioles.

depolymerized by cold treatment in U2OS cells conditionally expressing GFP-STIL for 72 hr, allowed to repolymerize, and subsequently counted. As expected (Godinho et al., 2014; Lingle et al., 2002), extra centrioles in interphase GFP-STIL-U2OS cells nucleated significantly more microtubules than non-induced isogenic control cells, with a linear correlation between the number of centriolar signals and the number of microtubules nucleated (Figures 3A, 3B, and S3A). Moreover, the total microtubule polymer mass as well as the number of EB1-microtubule plus end-tracking protein complexes as a readout for growing microtubule plus ends (Matov et al., 2010) was significantly increased in U2OS cells expressing GFP-STIL (Figures 3C, 3D, and S3B), indicating that interphase cells with extra centrioles contain an increased amount of microtubules. In GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells at 15 hr after transgene induction, extra centrioles almost exclusively occurred as newly generated daughters within centriole rosettes. Importantly, in such rosettes the number of nucleated microtubules linearly correlated with the number of daughter centrioles as well (Figures 3E and 3F). Similar results were obtained when synchronized GFP-PLK4U2OS cells were analyzed (Figure S3C). Also, the amount of PCM associated with interphase centriolar rosettes proportionally increased with the number of daughter centrioles present per rosette (Figures 3G and 3H). These findings suggest that daughter centrioles contribute to microtubule nucleation and supernumerary daughters impact on microtubule numbers nucleated by centriole rosettes during interphase. Asymmetric Rosette Mitoses Display Unequal Capture of Chromosomes from the Spindle Poles Immunofluorescence staining revealed that 60%–70% of rosette mitoses in U2OS cells overexpressing GFP-STIL or GFP-PLK4 bore an asymmetric number of daughters engaged to the two parental centrioles (Figure 4A), a finding confirmed by CLEM/ FIB-SEM with 4 asymmetric rosette mitoses of 5 cells analyzed (Figure 1D). Strikingly, in GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells, only rosette mitoses with an asymmetric number of daughter centrioles at the two poles displayed an increased lagging chromosome frequency (Figure 4B). Loss of daughter centrioles by depletion of centriole replication proteins can result in asymmetric mitoses, with two centrioles at one pole and only one centriole at the other. This results in an imbalance in microtubule stability between the 2 half-spindles due to asymmetric localization of centrobin, a daughter centriole-specific protein that stabilizes spindle pole microtu-
bules (Jeffery et al., 2010; Kitagawa et al., 2011; Tan et al., 2015; Zou et al., 2005). Similarly, in GFP-PLK4-U2OS mitoses, the amount of centrobin correlated with the number of daughter centrioles per rosette (Figures 4C and 4D). This finding led us to hypothesize that the relationship between daughter centriole numbers and microtubule nucleation found in interphase might have an impact in mitosis as well. Indeed, automated tracing of microtubules (Weber et al., 2012) in CLEM/FIB-SEM images of an asymmetric GFP-PLK4-U2OS rosette mitosis revealed more kinetochore microtubule bundles associated with the larger pole rosette (Figure 4E; Movie S2). However, as this technique is too complex to be applied to a significant number of cells, we probed directly the ability of asymmetric rosettes to capture chromosomes. During early mitosis, microtubule arrays emanating from spindle poles probe the space to make contact to kinetochores. Due to the stochastic nature of these search-and-capture interactions, sister kinetochores are not captured simultaneously. Instead, 1 of the 2 sister kinetochores attaches first, leading to poleward movement of the mono-oriented chromosome (Rieder and Salmon, 1998). Using Airyscan superresolution microscopy, we therefore determined the numbers of chromosomes captured by the 2 spindle poles in GFP-PLK4-U2OS early prometaphases following depolymerization of non-kinetochore microtubules. In asymmetric rosette mitoses, the spindle pole with the larger rosette captured more chromosomes, whereas no pole-to-pole bias was found in cells containing rosettes with identical daughter centriole numbers (Figures 4F and 4G), further supporting our findings for lagging chromosomes (Figure 4B). Bipolar Rosette Mitoses Do Not Interfere with Spindle Assembly Checkpoint or Kinetochore-Microtubule Attachment Stability and Do Not Alert the Error Correction Machinery Anaphase-lagging chromosomes are a consequence of merotelic kinetochore orientation, which is not detected by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) (Cimini et al., 2001; Thompson and Compton, 2008). Therefore, if rosette mitoses cause lagging chromosomes by the induction of merotely, then mitosis duration should not increase in cells harboring centriole rosettes. Indeed, mitosis was not delayed in GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells 15 hr after transgene induction (Figure 5A). To further exclude that anaphase-lagging chromosomes are caused by disturbed kinetochore-microtubule attachment stability (Bakhoum et al.,

2009a), we assayed for the presence of cold-stable kinetochore microtubules using a previously described approach (Lampson and Kapoor, 2005). The amounts of cold-stable kinetochore microtubules were similar in induced and non-induced GFPSTIL-U2OS cells with bipolar mitotic spindle arrays (Figures 5B and S4A), indicating that microtubule-kinetochore attachment stability is not affected by centriole rosette formation. BubR1 is required for the regulation of kinetochore-microtubule attachments as well as SAC activation (Lampson and Kapoor, 2005).

Accordingly, BUBR1 staining intensities at kinetochores were unchanged by the induction of GFP-STIL expression in bipolar mitotic U2OS cells as well (Figures 5C and S4B). The microtubule-depolymerizing kinesins MCAK and KIF2B increase microtubule turnover at kinetochores during mitosis to correct chromosome malorientations (Bakhoum et al., 2009b).

(Ertych et al., 2014), overexpression of MCAK or KIF2B reduced the incidence of lagging chromosomes. In contrast, chromosome missegregation was not corrected by MCAK or KIF2B overexpression in asymmetric GFP-PLK4-U2OS rosette mitoses 15 hr after transgene induction, whereas spontaneously arising lagging chromosomes in non-induced cells and symmetric GFP-PLK4-U2OS rosette mitoses became significantly reduced (Figures 5D and S4C). These findings suggest that, different from previously described causes of mis-attachments, erroneous attachments induced by centriolar rosettes cannot be corrected by increasing microtubule-kinetochore turnover. Bipolar Rosette Mitoses Contribute to the Production of Progeny from Cells with Extra Centrosomes To determine whether bipolar rosette mitoses contribute to progeny production of cells overexpressing PLK4, GFP-PLK4U2OS cells were immunostained up to 8 days after transgene induction for proteins marking consecutive centriole maturation steps. Immunostaining was performed for centrin and CP110 as early markers of centriole biogenesis (Chen et al., 2002; Kleylein-Sohn et al., 2007; Paoletti et al., 1996); CEP152 and glutamylated tubulin, which accumulate at younger mothers (Bobinnec et al., 1998; Fu et al., 2016; Wolff et al., 1992); and CEP170 and ODF2, which decorate appendages of fully mature mother centrioles only (Guarguaglini et al., 2005; Ishikawa et al., 2005; Nakagawa et al., 2001) (Figure 1A). If rosette mitoses contribute to progeny production in this system, then a significant fraction of the progeny of GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells should harbor multiple parental centrioles with only a single fully mature one (Figure 1A). Supporting this idea, we found that, among the cells with supernumerary centrioles, >80% contained only 1 CEP170-positive centriole even 8 days after continuous

GFP-PLK4 induction (Figures 6A, 6B, and S5A–S5C). At least 60% of these cells harbored >2 CEP152 signals. As CEP152 is loaded only late onto the centriole periphery after passage through mitosis (Fu et al., 2016), these findings are consistent with bipolar mitoses with a single centriole rosette per spindle pole directly accounting for the generation of a large portion of the progeny of GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells (Figure 1A). Consistent with these results, the relative frequency of multipolar and clustered mitoses dropped over time, whereas normal and rosette mitoses became more abundant (Figure 6C). To rule out that the majority of GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells with extra centrioles contain only 1 CEP170 signal because the presence of a mature mother suppresses the maturation of additional centrioles, centriole maturation was examined in cytokinesis-blocked GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells. As about 80% of binucleated cells contained >1 mature mother centriole, maturation of overreplicated centrioles after cell division is not inhibited in this system (Figure S5D). To visualize directly the fate of the progeny from different mitosis types, we tracked conditional HA-PLK4-HeLa cells that stably express the centriole marker Dendra-centrin2 by longterm live-cell imaging. All progeny of multipolar cells died after the second round of mitosis at the latest (Figure 6D), in accordance with earlier findings (Ganem et al., 2009). Surprisingly, a large part of the offspring of clustered mitoses died within two rounds of division as well. However, bipolar mitoses, comprising rosette mitoses in about 70% of cases, led to predominantly viable offspring, further indicating that bipolar rosette mitoses do significantly contribute to the progeny of PLK4-overexpressing HeLa cells. To determine the long-term contributions of rosette, clustered, and multipolar mitoses to the proliferation of HA-PLK4-HeLa

In line with these proportions, HA-PLK4-HeLa cell populations with overreplicated centrioles grew due to successful bipolar rosette mitoses, whereas multipolar and clustered divisions were selected against (Figures 6E, right panel, and S5E).

Fitting the prediction of this model, recent data suggest that each tumor has an intrinsic centrosome number distribution that reflects a dynamic equilibrium between ongoing overproduction and selection against cells with extra centrosomes (Wong et al., 2015). Aberrant Centrosomes Frequently Consist of Centriole Rosettes in Primary Human Malignancies To examine whether centriole rosettes occur in primary tumor cells, samples from patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies were immunostained for centriole maturation markers. In all tumor types examined, many tumor cells with multiple extra centrioles contained only 2 centrioles with parental markers (CEP152) and 1 mature mother centriole decorated with an appendage marker (CEP170). This pattern is compatible with the presence of two bona fide centriole rosettes arranged around 1 old and 1 young mother (Figures 7A, 7B, and S6). Multiple myeloma, glioblastoma, and colon cancer samples additionally contained tumor cells with centrosome aberrations characterized by multiple parental centrioles with or without appendages, compatible with the presence of multiple mature centrosomes and later maturation stages in fractions of these tumor types. These findings suggest that the majority of centrosome aberrations in the primary tumor types examined constitute centriole rosettes representing early stages of centriole overduplication (Figures 1A and 7A, bottom panel). However, especially in solid tumors (multiple myeloma, glioblastoma, and colon cancer), other types of centrosome aberrations are also found, which likely originate from the accumulation of mature centrioles by centrosome clustering or aborted cell division. Most mitoses in early passage (p2–4) primary glioblastoma cells with supernumerary centrioles were bipolar with a single centriole rosette at each pole (Figures 7C and 7D). We conclude that extra centriole signals in primary human malignancies often represent daughter centriole rosettes around a pair of parental centrioles, resulting in the frequent formation of rosette mitoses. DISCUSSION We have shown here that, in addition to centrosomal clustering (Ganem et al., 2009; Silkworth et al., 2009), bipolar rosette mitoses with unequal numbers of centrioles per spindle pole contribute to chromosome missegregation due to asymmetric
microtubule nucleation and unequal capture of chromosomes from spindle poles (Figure 7E). Also, centriole rosettes as well as rosette mitoses are frequently found in primary tumor cells. Generation of a single daughter per parental centriole is thought to be ensured by localized stabilization of PLK4 after interaction with STIL (Ohta et al., 2014). Overexpression of either of the 2 proteins deregulates this mechanism and results in centriole rosette formation (Arquint et al., 2012; Habedanck et al., 2005; Kleylein-Sohn et al., 2007; Tang et al., 2011; Vulprecht et al., 2012). Interestingly, activation of PLK4 is delayed at younger mother centrioles compared to the older ones (Sillibourne et al., 2010): PLK4 activation occurs in G1/S and G2 phases at older and younger mother centrioles, respectively, in accordance with the observation that daughter centriole assembly is initiated at the older mother centriole first (White et al., 2000). These findings might explain our observation of the frequent presence of asymmetric numbers of daughter centrioles at the 2 rosettes of bipolar mitotic spindles. Centrosomes are not required for cell division, but alterations of centrosome numbers, including acentriolar spindles and multipolar mitoses, cause increased chromosome missegregation (Ganem et al., 2009; Silkworth et al., 2009; Sir et al., 2013). Even the loss of a single daughter centriole in normal bipolar spindles leads to imbalanced kinetochore-microtubule attachment stability and aberrations in cytokinesis (Tan et al., 2015). Now, our results show that extra daughter centrioles at spindle poles, particularly if asymmetric, also result in anaphase-lagging chromosomes and chromosome missegregation. Our immunofluorescence quantification experiments reveal that daughter centrioles contribute to the recruitment of PCM proteins involved in microtubule nucleation both in interphase and mitosis, in line with what has been described for de-novoformed centrioles within the first cell cycle of their generation (La Terra et al., 2005). Each extra daughter centriole seems to linearly add to the total microtubule mass nucleated by centriole rosettes. Consequently, during rosette mitosis, the 2 spindle poles display asymmetric microtubule nucleation if they bear unequal numbers of daughter centrioles. Accordingly, asymmetric centriole rosettes generate a bias in kinetochore capture that favors binding to the spindle pole with more daughter centrioles. This imbalance is likely at the basis of the observed increase in anaphase-lagging chromosomes and chromosome missegregation induced by asymmetric rosette mitoses.

Aberrant Centrosomes in Primary Tumor Cells (A) Percentage of primary tumor cells with multiple centrioles that harbor only 2 centrioles with parental markers (CEP170/ODF2) and 1 mature mother centriole (CEP150/GT335). The numbers of tumor samples examined per tumor type are given (n). The multiple myeloma samples analyzed were Salmon and Durie stage IIA (n = 1), stage IIIA (n = 7), and unknown (n = 2); the colon cancer samples were UICC stage II (n = 1), stage III (n = 1), stage IV (n = 6), and unknown (n = 1), respectively. The bottom panel exemplifies the composition of centriole rosettes versus other, more mature types of centrosome aberrations. See also Figure 1A.

(E) Centriole rosettes cause chromosome missegregation via the generation of 2 asymmetric spindle poles, which produce unbalanced numbers of microtubules on mitotic half-spindles. This spindle asymmetry causes kinetochore-microtubule attachment errors by favored binding of microtubules from the more prominent spindle pole. See also Figure S6.
1916 Cell Reports 20, 1906–1920, August 22, 2017
Anaphase-lagging chromosomes are caused by unresolved merotelic attachments, in which a single kinetochore simultaneously contacts microtubules from both spindle poles. Merotelic attachments are a serious danger for chromosome segregation fidelity, as they are not detected by the SAC (Cimini et al., 2001). Most merotelic attachments are corrected before anaphase onset by KIF2B and MCAK, which stimulate detachment of maloriented microtubule fibers from kinetochores, permitting a new round of search and capture (Bakhoum et al., 2009b). However, in our experiments, overexpression of KIF2B or MCAK was not effective in lowering the lagging chromosome frequency in rosette mitoses. This can be explained once the asymmetric rosette binding bias is taken into account, as the corrective action of releasing maloriented kinetochore fibers has no effect on asymmetric microtubule dynamics and will likely result in another biased capture from the more prominent spindle pole. Therefore, asymmetric rosette mitoses can have a strong impact on chromosome segregation fidelity, because the mitotic machinery is unable to efficiently correct the orientation errors induced by unequal microtubule numbers from spindle poles. Recent data have demonstrated that high levels of chromosomal instability compromise viability and multipolar mitoses lead to cell death or cell-cycle arrest (Ganem et al., 2009, 2014; Weaver et al., 2007). Here we show that rosette mitoses, on the other hand, produce viable offspring, likely due to the induction of only moderate chromosome missegregation. In accordance with the literature, multipolar mitoses were negatively selected. However, live-cell fate tracking of mitotic progeny showed that centrosome clustering was also characterized by decreased offspring viability, although to a lesser extent than multipolar mitoses. Possibly, survival after centrosomal clustering requires adaptation to the clustering process to grant survival of the offspring, as accumulated extra centrosomes can lead to cell-cycle arrest (Ganem et al., 2014). In contrast, the continued proliferation of rosette mitosis offspring allows chromosomal aberrations to be propagated within the population. Accordingly, mathematical modeling based on measured cell division type outcomes demonstrates that the burden imposed by centriole overduplication does not ultimately hinder population growth, even in cell lines like HeLa, which do not tolerate centrosome amplification. Therefore, centriole rosettes could represent an important contributor to chromosome missegregation in early cancer stages. It will be interesting to analyze the respective contributions of rosettes and clustered mitoses to tumorigenesis in vivo. Clearly, multipolar cell divisions are long known to occur in many types of cancers. However, a detailed structural or functional characterization of centrosomal amplification pattern is missing, because almost all studies that have examined centrosome aberrations in primary tumor tissues rely on single-antigen immunostainings, mostly against the PCM proteins pericentrin or g-tubulin. Many studies have noted a positive correlation between centrosome size and karyotype abnormalities in several tumor types, yet the mechanistic basis for this correlation has remained unclear (Lingle et al., 2002; Neben et al., 2003; Nigg, 2002; Pihan et al., 1998). As we showed that centriole rosettes lead to expanded PCM signals, these findings might be explained by the model presented here. One study has shown
that centriole overduplication with rosette formation occurs in primary human papillomavirus-associated anal neoplasms (Duensing et al., 2008). Interestingly, although later stages of centrosome aberrations with more than two older mother centrioles resulting from centrosome accumulation were more frequent in this solid tumor type, only centriole rosettes resulting from early-stage centriole overduplication correlated with cell division errors. In line with these results, the HPV16-E7 oncoprotein was found to rapidly trigger the formation of centriole rosettes by centriole overduplication, with subsequent cell division errors (Duensing et al., 2007). These and our present findings argue for a contribution of rosette-type divisions to the development of chromosome missegregation. Whereas many acute leukemias harbor normal karyotypes, the vast majority of multiple myelomas, glioblastomas, and colon cancers show high levels of chromosomal aberrations (Mitelman et al., 2017). In acute leukemia samples, cells containing centrosome aberrations other than rosettes were rare, suggesting that most of the progeny from cells with centrosome aberrations is not viable in these disorders, thereby providing a possible explanation for their comparatively stable karyotypes. On the other hand, multiple myeloma, glioblastoma, and colon cancer samples contained larger fractions of cells with accumulated parental centrioles, suggesting the occurrence of productive divisions of cells with centriole rosettes and in accordance with the well-established higher frequency of karyotype abnormalities in these tumors. Taken together, these data highlight an additional aspect of centrosome composition in mitosis: both mother and daughter centrioles fine-tune spindle microtubule dynamics and thereby ensure mitotic fidelity. Therefore, tight regulation of centriole duplication is important for symmetric spindle formation to allow for efficient kinetochore-microtubule attachment correction and, thus, protect from chromosome missegregation. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Primary Tumor Samples Informed consent was obtained according to the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was approved by the institutional review board. Bone marrow mononuclear cells were isolated from aspirates by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. For multiple myeloma samples, CD138+ plasma cells were further purified using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) beads according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Both bone marrow mononuclear cells and CD138+ plasma cells were cytospun on slides and fixed in ice-cold methanol/acetone. Early passage primary glioblastoma cells were acquired from the Department of Neurosurgery of the University of Heidelberg (Karcher et al., 2006). Cells between passages 2 and 4 were grown on coverslips and fixed in ice-cold methanol. Colon cancer spheres were generated as previously described (Dieter et al., 2011). Superresolution Microscopy Superresolution microscopy images were acquired using a 633 1.4 numerical aperture (NA) Plan Apochromat objective (Zeiss) on an LSM 880 confocal microscope (Zeiss) equipped with an AiryScan detector unit (Zeiss) at the Zeiss Laboratories in Munich, Germany. Images presented in figures are maximumintensity projections of 0.18-mm z stacks encompassing whole cells. FIB-SEM Cells were grown on dishes with a coverslip marked by a coordinate system (Mattek) to facilitate correlative light and electron microscopy. GFP-PLK4U2OS cells were transiently transfected with an H2B-mCherry-IRES-neo3

plasmid (gift of L. No¨tzold); 33 hr after transfection, transgene expression was induced. At 15 hr post-induction, cells were lightly fixed with 0.5% glutaraldehyde and 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M PHEM buffer (60mM PIPES; 25mM HEPES; 10mM EGTA; 2mM Magnesium chloride; pH 6.9), and quenched with 150 mM glycine in 0.1 M PHEM buffer. Cells of interest were then selected by their fluorescent signal at the Zeiss Axio Observer.Z1, and their position within the coordinate system was noted in order to find back the same cells at the FIB-SEM. For a detailed description of the preparation for FIB-SEM, see Chatel-Chaix et al. (2016). In brief, cells were processed in a PELCO BioWave Pro microwave processor where they were fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde with 0.1% malachite green oxalate salt in 0.1 M PHEM buffer, postfixed with 1% osmium tetroxide and 0.8% potassium hexacyanoferrate (III), en bloc stained with 0.5% uranyl acetate in water, dehydrated in an ethanol series, and infiltrated with Durcupan resin. Samples were polymerized at 60 C for 48 hr and then mounted for FIB-SEM. An Auriga 60 FIB-SEM (Zeiss) microscope with Atlas3D software (FIBICS) was used to collect the 3D data. All acquired images were aligned using the TrakEM2 plugin of FIJI. Centrioles were segmented by thresholding with Amira (FEI), and microtubules were extracted with the Amira XTracing Extension 6.0. For comparison and visualization, centrioles were realigned in 3D using Amira software. Within this software, the Slice function can be freely rotated in order to place all mother centrioles orthogonal to the image plan, and all daughter centrioles parallel to the image plan. When the centrioles were close to the edges of the volume, the 2D image showed empty pixels (out of volume areas) that were displayed as a constant grey value (see Figure 1D cell 1 and cell 3). Live-Cell Imaging GFP-PLK4-U2OS cells were plated on glass-bottom culture dishes (Ibidi) and transiently transfected with an H2B-mCherry-IRES-Neo3 plasmid using TurboFect (Life Technologies). At 24 hr after transfection, cells were induced for 15 hr and then transferred to a Zeiss Cell Observer and imaged under controlled environmental conditions at 37 C and 5% CO2 atmosphere. The z stack series was captured at 5-min intervals overnight with a 203 0.8 NA Plan Apochromat objective (Zeiss). HA-PLK4-Dendra-centrin2-HeLa cells were induced for 48 hr. Subsequently, doxycycline was washed out and cells were imaged for 72 hr. The z stack series was captured at 20-min intervals with a 403 1.3 NA Plan Apochromat objective (Zeiss). Videos were analyzed using Zen Blue 2011 software (Zeiss). Microtubule Regrowth Assay Microtubule regrowth assays were performed as previously described (Godinho et al., 2014). Briefly, cells grown on coverslips were incubated with icecold medium for 1 hr, then allowed to repolymerize microtubules for 30 s at 37 C in fresh medium, and immediately fixed in methanol. Cells were stained as described above, and microtubule numbers sprouting from the centrosomes were assessed manually. Branching Process Modeling To model the proliferation of bipolar, clustered, and multipolar mitoses of HAPLK4-Dendra-centrin2-HeLa cells, a multitype branching process (Mode, 1971) was simulated. To estimate the offspring distribution of this branching process, it was assumed that only bipolar and clustered mitoses can produce viable offspring, whereas multipolar mitoses lead to dead progeny only. The exact offspring distribution was estimated from real data. To start the analysis, we first simulated the number of cells produced by bipolar, clustered, and multipolar mitoses for the first 50 generations, under the initial condition that there were 35 bipolar, 40 clustered, and 25 multipolar mitoses in generation 0. The results of this simulation are presented in Figure 6E (right panel). The number of bipolar mitoses in the nth generation was defined as the number of offspring of bipolar type that was produced by both bipolar and clustered mitoses from generation ðn 1Þ. Similarly, the number of clustered or multipolar divisions in the nth generation was defined as the number of clustered or multipolar offspring produced by mitoses of all types in generation ðn 1Þ. Next, we applied the Kesten-Stigum theorem (Kesten and Stigum, 1966) to the branching process. After verifying all assumptions of this theorem, the following results were obtained: (1) the entire population either goes extinct or, asymptotically, the number of cells of each type in the nth generation grows
1918 Cell Reports 20, 1906–1920, August 22, 2017
geometrically at the rate rn , with r = 1:334; and (2) for populations with geometric growth, the proportions of bipolar, clustered, and multipolar mitoses stabilize and approach the following limits: 93.3% for bipolar, 2.3% for clustered, and 4.4% for multipolar mitoses (Figure 6E, left panel). These limits depend only on the offspring distribution of bipolar and clustered mitoses and not on the initial number of cells in generation 0. Note that the proportion of bipolar mitoses in the nth generation was defined as the number of bipolar mitoses in this generation divided by the total number of mitoses. The proportions of clustered and multipolar mitoses were defined in the same way. Statistical Analysis Comparisons between two groups were calculated using two-tailed Student’s t tests. Comparison among three or more groups was estimated by one-way repeated-measure (RM) ANOVA, and single groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation between two variables was calculated using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Data are reported as mean ± SEM or SD. Statistical values can be found in the figures and figure legends. Statistical calculation was performed with SigmaPlot version 12.5 software (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001).
