MCD4 were left untreated or treated with DMSO (0.3% or 0.2%, 1 h), Alisertib (AURKA inhibitor; 30 µM or 20 µM, 1 h), or Barasertib-HQPA (AURKB inhibitor; 30 µM or 20 µM, 1 h) alone or in combination with forskolin (Fsk; 30 µM, 30 min) or arginine-vasopressin (AVP; 100 nM, 30 min) where indicated. AQP2 was detected by immunofluorescence microscopy. Shown are representative images of four independent experiments; scale bar 30 µm. AQP2 was quantified using a segmentation-based approach.

Confocal images of microtubule dynamics in control extracts (top row) and extracts with 40 µM Aurora kinase B inhibitor Barasertib-HQPA (bottom row). n=6. Each image is a maximum-intensity projection of nine confocal planes spanning 16 µm of depth. Imaging started at an arbitrary time point when asters had just begun to form in the untreated extracts. The results showed that Aurora kinase B inhibition by Barasertib-HQPA abolishes the aster, and the cell-like compartments form with a substantial delay.
