of chromosomally stable human colon cancer DLD1 diploid (2N) and tetraploid
(4N) cells, along with tetraploid centrosome -amplified (4NCA) DLD1
cells and DLD1 HSET knockout (KO) cells. DLD1 2N and 4N cells were
generated and characterized as previously described.27 (link),41 ,42 (link) In order to generate 4NCA cells,
we used dihydro-cytochalasin B (DCB) to transiently block cytokinesis
and induce tetraploidisation and centrosome amplification in DLD1
cells. Centrosome amplification in 4NCA cells is transient and therefore
they were generated from 2N cells for each run of the assay.27 (link) The DLD1 HSET KO cells were knockout clones
generated by CRISPR and validated by sequencing to have a homozygous
deletion in the KIFC1 gene.
