Tetraploidy is frequent in cancer and whole genome doubling shapes the evolution of cancer genomes, thereby driving the transformation, metastasis and drug resistance. Yet, human cells usually arrest when they become tetraploid due to p53 activation that leads to CDKN1A expression, cell cycle arrest, senescence or apoptosis. To uncover the barriers that block proliferation of tetraploids, we performed an RNAi mediated genome-wide screen in a human cancer cell line. We identified 140 genes whose depletion improved survival of tetraploids and characterized in depth two of them: SPINT2 and USP28. We show that SPINT2 is a general regulator of CDKN1A, regulating its transcription via histone acetylation. By mass spectrometry and immunoprecipitation, we show that USP28 interacts with NuMA1 and affects centrosome clustering. Moreover, tetraploid cells accumulate DNA damage and loss of USP28 reduces checkpoint activation. Our results indicate three aspects that contribute to survival of tetraploid cells: i) increased mitogenic signaling and reduced expression of cell cycle inhibitors, ii) the ability to establish functional bipolar spindle, and iii) reduced DNA damage signaling.
