This study discovers that SIRT1 may be involved in regulating mitotic catastrophe (MC) through autophagy and BubR1 signaling. Overexpression of SIRT1 alleviates MC, while its knockdown exacerbates this phenomenon. In addition, the regulation of autophagy and BubR1 signaling also affects MC. These results provide evidence for SIRT1, autophagy, and BubR1 as potential therapeutic targets for cancer.
Mitotic catastrophe (MC) is a suppressive mechanism that mediates the elimination of mitosis-deficient cells through apoptosis, necrosis or senescence after M phase block. SIRT1 is involved in the regulation of several cellular processes, including autophagy. However, the relationship between SIRT1 and MC has been largely obscure. Our study highlights that SIRT1 might be involved in the regulation of MC. We have shown that degradation of the SIRT1 protein via proteasome and lysosomal pathway was accompanied by MC induced via BMH-21. Overexpression of SIRT1 alleviated MC by decreasing the proportion of apoptotic and multinuclear cells induced by G2/M block and triggered autophagy whereas knockdown of SIRT1 aggravated MC and repressed autophagy. Furthermore, we found that serum starvation triggered autophagy evidently generated lower MC whereas siRNA of ATG5/7 suppressed autophagy leading to higher MC. ChIP analysis revealed that SIRT1 could bind to the promoter of BubR1, a component of spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), to upregulate its expression. Overexpression of BubR1 decreased MC whereas knockdown of BubR1 increased it. These results reveal that SIRT1 regulates MC through autophagy and BubR1 signaling, and provide evidence for SIRT1, autophagy and BubR1 being the potential cancer therapeutic targets.
