Partial knockdown of Aurora B to near wild-type levels rescues mitotic defects in ARF−/− cells. (A) Immunoblot demonstrating partial knockdown of Aurora B in ARF−/− primary MEFs to levels similar to those found in wild-type MEFs. Tubulin is shown as a loading control. (B) Partial knockdown of Aurora B rescues the mitotic checkpoint defect in ARF−/− cells. n > 250 cells from each of three independent experiments. (C) Partial depletion of Aurora B by siRNA rescues the chromosome alignment defect in ARF−/− cells. n > 50 cells with visible metaphase plates from each of three independent experiments. (D) Knockdown of Aurora B by siRNA to near-wild-type levels in ARF−/− cells partially rescues the occurrence of lagging chromosomes. n > 100 anaphases and telophases from each of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05.
