Mitotic events from prophase to telophase are defined by morphology or movement of chromatin, nuclear envelope, centrosomes and spindles. Live-cell imaging is useful for characterizing the whole chromosome segregation process in the living state. In this study, we constructed three quadruple-fluorescent MDA435 cell lines in which chromatin, kinetochores, nuclear envelope and either inner centromere, microtubules or centrosomes/spindles were differentially visualized with cyan, green, orange and red fluorescent proteins (ECFP, EGFP, mKO and DsRed). Each mitotic stage of the individual cells could be identified by capturing live-cell images without the requirement of fixing or staining steps. In addition, we obtained four-color time-lapse images of one cell line, MDA-Auro/imp/H3/AF, from prophase to metaphase and from early anaphase to telophase. These quadruple-fluorescent cell lines will be useful for precisely analyzing the mitotic events from prophase through to telophase in single cells in the future.
