Chromatin Bridges, not Micronuclei, Activate cGAS after Drug-induced Mitotic Errors in Human Cells
2021-02-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Mitotic errors can activate cGAS and induce type-I interferon (IFN) signaling. Current models propose that chromosome segregation errors generate micronuclei whose rupture activates cGAS. We used a panel of anti-mitotic drugs to perturb mitosis in fibroblasts and measured abnormal nuclear morphologies, cGAS localization and IFN signaling in the subsequent interphase. Micronuclei consistently recr...
