Abstract:

The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) is a receptor-type tyrosine kinase that transduces signals related to cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. IGF1R expression is often misregulated in tumor cells, but the relevance of this for cancer progression remains unclear. Here, we examined the impact of IGF1R inhibition on cell division. We found that siRNA-mediated knockdown of IGF1R from HeLa S3 cells leads to M-phase delays. Although IGF1R depletion causes partial exclusion of FoxM1 from the nucleus, quantitative real-time PCR revealed that the transcription of M-phase regulators is not affected by decreased levels of IGF1R. Moreover, a similar delay in M phase was observed following 2 h of incubation with the IGF1R inhibitors OSI-906 and NVP-ADW742. These results suggest that the M-phase delay observed in IGF1R-compromised cells is not caused by altered expression of mitotic regulators. Live-cell imaging revealed that both prolonged prometaphase and prolonged metaphase underlie the delay and this can be abrogated by the inhibition of Mps1 with AZ3146, suggesting activation of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint when IGF1R is inhibited. Furthermore, incubation with the Aurora B inhibitor ZM447439 potentiated the IGF1R inhibitor-induced suppression of cell proliferation, opening up new possibilities for more effective cancer chemotherapy.
