Racgap1 knockdown results in cells with multiple cilia due to cytokinesis failure

Most mammalian cells have a single primary cilium that acts as a signalling hub in mediating cellular functions. However, little is known about the mechanisms that result in aberrant supernumerary primary cilia per cell. In this study, we re-analysed a previously published whole-genome siRNA-based reverse genetic screen for genes mediating ciliogenesis to identify knockdowns that permit multi-ciliation. We identified siRNA knockdowns that caused significant formation of supernumerary cilia, validated candidate hits in different cell-lines and confirmed that RACGAP1, a component of the centralspindlin complex, was the strongest candidate hit at the whole-genome level. Following loss of RACGAP1, mother centrioles were specified correctly prior to ciliogenesis and the cilia appeared normal. Live cell imaging revealed that increased cilia incidence was caused by cytokinesis failure which led to the formation of multinucleate cells with supernumerary cilia. This suggests that the signalling mechanisms for ciliogenesis are unable to identify supernumerary centrosomes and therefore allow ciliation of duplicated centrosomes as if they were in a new diploid daughter cell. These results, demonstrating that aberrant ciliogenesis is de-coupled from cell cycle regulation, have functional implications in diseases marked by centrosomal amplification.
