The Cytolethal Distending Toxin (CDT) is a bacterial genotoxin that activates the DNA damage response and induces inflammatory signatures in host cells, but the precise relationship between these outcomes has not been addressed so far. CDT induces a singular time-dependent increase of DNA damage and cell cycle defects, questioning on possible impaired response to this toxin over the cell cycle. Here, we identify mitosis as a crucial phase during CDT intoxination. Despite active cell cycle checkpoints and in contrast to other DNA damaging agents, CDT-exposed cells reach mitosis where they accumulate massive DNA damage, resulting in chromosome fragmentation and micronucleus formation. These micronuclei are recognized by cGAS that elicits an inflammatory signature resulting in cell distention and senescence. Our results unravel for the first time the mitotic consequences of CDT genotoxic activity and relate them to pro-inflammatory cellular response. These findings may have important implications during bacterial infection regarding CDT-mediated immunomodulatory and tumorigenic processes.
