Abstract
The spindle assembly checkpoint kinase Mps1 is highly expressed in several types of cancers, but its cellular involvement in tumorigenesis is less defined. Herein, we confirm that Mps1 is overexpressed in colon cancer tissues. Further, we find that forced expression of Mps1 in the colon cancer cell line SW480 enables cells to become resistant to both Mps1 inhibition-induced checkpoint depletion and cell death. Overexpression of Mps1 also increases genome instability in tumor cells owing to a weakened spindle assembly checkpoint. Collectively, our findings suggest that high levels of Mps1 contribute to tumorigenesis by attenuating the spindle assembly checkpoint.Entities:
