Failure of cell cleavage induces senescence in tetraploid primary cells

Induction of tetraploidy through cleavage failure induces G1 arrest and senescence in primary mammalian cells but not in immortal cells. Induction of senescence occurs without DNA damage, and the capacity to become senescent appears to be a prerequisite of tetraploid arrest.
