Whole cell extracts (15 µg total protein per lane) from indicated cell lines were were resolved by 4-12% Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis. HeLa cells were treated with and without Nocodazole (200 ng/mL) overnight which arrests cell cycle at G2/M phase and induces Aurora A expression. The gel was then transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with Purified anti-Aurora A (clone W23093D) overnight at 4°C. Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence detection using HRP Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405405). Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-GAPDH (Cat. No. 607903) was used as a loading control at a 1:50000 dilution. Western-Ready™ ECL Substrate Premium Kit (Cat. No. 426319) was used as a detection agent. Lane M: Molecular weight marker -
HeLa cells treated with 200 ng/mL Nocodazole overnight (panel A) or without (panel B) were fixed with 4% PFA Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801) for 10 minutes and permeabilized with 100% ice-cold methanol for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then stained with Purified anti-Aurora A (clone W23093D), followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). The images were captured on a Revvity Operetta CLS™ High Content Analysis System with a 63X objective and merged. Scale bar: 25 µm -

Aurora A (AURKA) is a serine/threonine kinase and a crucial regulator of mitosis. It is a member of the Aurora kinase family, which plays key roles in cell cycle regulation, spindle formation, and chromosome segregation. AURKA is highly conserved among eukaryotic organisms and is essential for maintaining genomic stability. Aurora A is predominantly active during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle which promotes the recruitment of pericentriolar material (PCM) to centrosomes, facilitating their maturation. Aurora A phosphorylates and activates several substrates involved in mitotic entry, such as PLK1 (Polo-like kinase 1) and CDC25B which enable the activation of cyclin-dependent kinases, driving the cell into mitosis. Aurora A stabilizes spindle microtubules by interacting with proteins such as TPX2 (Targeting Protein for Xklp2) and ensures proper bipolar spindle formation facilitating a prerequisite for accurate chromosome alignment and segregation. Aberrant expression or dysregulation of AURKA is implicated in oncogenesis. Overexpression is frequently observed in various cancers, including breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancers.
