For clonogenicity experiments, cells were treated for 48 h with 100 nM nocodazole followed by
the cloning of cells characterized by an 8n DNA content on a FACSVantage cell sorter (BD
Biosciences San José, USA). Clonogenicity was evaluated 2 weeks after sorting.
Generation of hyperploid clones. Parental diploid cells were treated for 48 h with 0.6 µg mL-1
cytochalasin D, 2 µM dihydrocytochalasin B (DCB) (Calbiochem, San Diego, USA) or 100 nM
3
nocodazole and then cultured for 2 weeks in drug-free culture medium, followed by cloning of
cells characterized by an 8n DNA content on a FACSVantage cell sorter (BD Biosciences), as
previously described (35).
Isolation and culture of primary cells. Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). The isolation of IECs
was performed from 8 – 9 weeks old male Tp53-/- C57Bl/6 mice. Quickly after sacrifice, colons
were surgically removed, longitudinally opened and washed in 100 mM Ca2+- and Mg2+-free
PBS. Colons were then washed in Ca2+- and Mg2+-free Hank’s Balance Salt Solution (HBSS)
supplemented with 2% glucose, 25 ng mL-1 amphotericine B, 100 U mL-1 penicillin sodium and
100 µg mL-1 streptomycin sulfate, and cut into 1-mm pieces. Thereafter, they were dissociated by
incubation for 10 min at room temperature (with occasional vigorous shaking) in Ca2+- and Mg2+-
free HBSS supplemented with 0.2 mg mL-1 soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI), 2% bovine serum
albumin (BSA), 20 µg mL-1 dispase I and 50 µg mL-1 collagenase XI, after which DMEM
supplemented with 10% sorbitol, 100 U mL-1 penicillin sodium, 100 µg mL-1 streptomycin
sulfate and 5% FBS was added. Cells and tissue debris were vigorously shaken and sediments
were removed. Cells were recovered by centrifugation (3 min at 120 g) and washed 4 times with
DMEM + 2% sorbitol. Then, IECs were seeded in 25 cm2 flasks pre-coated with rat tail collagen,
type I (BD Bioscience), and cultured in phenol red-free DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with
5 µg mL-1 insulin, 0.2% glucose, 50 nM dexamethasone, 2% FBS, 6 nM sodium selenite, 50 nM
triiodo-thyronine sodium, 10 µg mL-1 epithelial growth factor (EGF), 5 µg mL-1 transferrin, 20
µM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine and 100 U mL-1 penicillin sodium and 100 µg mL-1 streptomycin
sulfate.
Mammary gland cells (MGCs). The isolation of primary mammary gland epithelial cells was
performed on 8–9 week old female Tp53-/- C57Bl/6 mice, as previously described (36). After
4
sacrifice, inguinal mammary glands were surgically removed and washed in DMEM/F12 medium
supplemented with 100 U mL-1 penicillin sodium������� mL-1 streptomycin sulfate ���������
mL-1 gentamycin. Thereafter, they were dissociated by incubation for 30 min at 37°C (with
occasional vigorous shaking) in wash medium further supplemented with 0.15% type A
collagenase (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). Dissociated cells were cultured in
flasks that had been pre-coated with 0.1% gelatin (4 h, 37°C). MGCs were cultured in
����������� �����!!"����#���$ #%��&��'�������g mL-1 ���#��() ����"*�#�������g mL-1
insulin and 5 ng mL-1 epithelial growth factor (EGF).
Colonic crypts. The isolation of primary colonic crypts was performed on 8-9 week old female
Tp53-/- C57Bl/6 mice. Crypts were isolated and maintained in culture as described by Sato et al.
(37, 38).
Splenic lymphocyte isolation. After euthanasia, spleens were rapidly removed and placed into
RPMI medium supplemented with 100 U mL-1 penicillin sodium and ����� mL-1 streptomycin
sulfate. Splenic lymphocytes were obtained upon mechanical pressure to the organ, elimination
of debris and elimination of erythrocytes by means of the RBC lysis buffer (42301, BioLegend).
After isolation, cells were incubated with FITC-conjugated anti-CD8a and PE-conjugated anti-
CD4 antibodies (5µg mL-1 in 200 µL of PBS supplemented with 2% BSA (w/v)) for 30 min at
4°C, washed and analyzed by cytofluorometry.
Plasmid construction and siRNAs. For the construction of a plasmid encoding a CRT variant
constitutively exposed on the plasma membrane (mCRT), the cDNA corresponding to the mouse
CRT sequence (NM_007591) was obtained by RT-PCR on an RNA extract from CT26 cells with
the primers 5’-TATACCCGGGCTCCTTTCGGTGCCGCTC and 5’-
5
TATACCGCGGGGCTTGGCCAGGGGATTC. This sequence was cloned into the pDisplay
vector (Invitrogen) using SmaI and SacII restriction sites. With the aim to avoid an immunogenic
effect in in vivo experiments, the hemaglutinin A epitope as well as the KDEL C-terminal
sequence of CRT were deleted. To this aim, a SmaI restriction site was created at the beginning
of the epitope sequence by directed mutagenesis, using the QuickChange® Lightning Site-
directed Mutagenesis Kit (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA) with the primers 5'-
CAGGTTCCACTGGTGACTATCCCGGGGATGTTCCAGATTATGCTGGGG-3' and 5'-
CCCCAGCATAATCTGGAACATCCCCGGGATAGTCACCAGTGGAACCTG-3'. SmaI
digestion followed by re-ligation of the plasmid was then employed to remove the hemagglutinin
A epitope-coding sequence. GFP-ATG6- end XBP1-DBD-Venus-encoding plasmids were kindly
provided by Dr. Ron Prywes (Columbia University, New York, USA) and Dr. Junying Yuan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, USA), respectively. siRNA heteroduplexes
specific for CRT (sense strand: 5’-CCGCUGGGUCGAAUCCAAAdTdT-3’), Aurora kinase B
(AURKB) (sense strand 5’-GGUGAUGGAGAAUAGCAGUdTdT-3’), Polo-like kinase 1
(PLK1) (sense strand 5’-CGAGCUGCUUAAUGACGAGdTdT-3’) and MAD2 (sense strand 5’-
ACCUUUACUCGAGUGCAGATT3’) were purchased from Sigma-Proligo (The Woodlands,
US). As a control, a non-targeting siRNA with a sequence unrelated to both human and mouse
genomes was used (UNR, sense strand 5’-GCCGGUAUGCCGGUUAAGUdTdT-3’).
Treatments and transfections. Cells were seeded in 6-, 12-well plates, 25, 75 or 175 cm2 flasks
and allowed to adapt for at least 24 h before experiments. Cells were challenged with the
following pharmacological agents: 2 µM vincristine; 4 µM vinblastine; 4 µM colchicine; 6 µM
cytochalasine H; 100 nM nocodazole; 0.6 µg mL-1 cytochalasine D and 2 µM
dihydrocytochalasine B; 100 nM taxotere and 300 nM paclitaxel (Moravek Biochemicals, Inc
6
(Brea, USA). Plasmid transfections were carried out using Lipofectamine 2000® (Invitrogen), as
recommended by the manufacturer. U2OS cells stably co-expressing CRT-GFP and H2B-RFP
were generated by transfection with a CRT-GFP-encoding cDNA and, after selection with G418,
transduction with lentiviral particles expressing H2B-RFP, as previously described (24). U2OS
cells expressing HaloTag® (HT)-CRT were obtained by transfection with a plasmid encoding the
HT-CRT fusion protein (24) and selected with zeocin (Invitrogen). U2OS cell clones stably
expressing GFP-ATF6 or XBP1-DBD-Venus were obtained by plasmid transfection, selection in
800 µg mL-1 G418 (for 2 weeks), and FACS-assisted cloning. mCRT-expressing CT26 clones
were obtained by plasmid transfection and selected with 200 µg mL-1 G418. Transgene
expression in each clone was confirmed by cytofluorometry. For the stable downregulation of
PERK, caspase-8 and ERp57, CT26 cells were infected with retroviral particles carrying the
corresponding shRNA plasmids (20, 39), and several clones were isolated following selection in
0.1 mg mL-1 G418 for 10 days. A scrambled sequence was used as a negative control (shCo). For
the stable downregulation of CRT, CT26 cells were infected with retroviruses carrying the
shCRT plasmid, previously generated using shCRT (OriGene, Rockville, USA) and Phoenix cells
(Orbigen Inc., San Diego, US), and selected with puromycin (10 µg mL-1). CRT downregulation
in each clone was confirmed by immunoblotting. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of CRT,
AURKB, MAD2 and PLK1 was carried out by transfecting cells (at 30-40% confluence) with the
HiPerFect transfection reagent (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) - previously complexed with 20 nM
siRNA - for 6 to 15 h. siRNA-transfected cells were used for experiments no earlier than 48 h
after transfection.
Automated high-content microscopy and video microscopy. WT human osteosarcoma U2OS
cells or U2OS cells stably transduced with CRT-GFP/H2B-RFP, GFP-ATF6 or XBP1-DBD-
7
Venus (24, 40) were seeded in 96-well imaging plates (BD Falcon), let adapt for 12-24 h and then
treated either with agents from the Institute of Chemistry and Cell Biology (ICCB, Harvard,
USA) known bioactive library (CRT-GFP/H2B-RFP-expressing cells, concentration range: 1-12
µM, from EnzoLifeSciences) or with microtubular and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) toxins (WT,
GFP-ATF6- and XBP1-DBD-Venus-expressing cells). Four-fifteen hours after treatment, cells
were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA, w/v in PBS), and either stained wi#%� �� ���
Hoechst 33342 or processed for the immunofluorescence-based detections of phosphorylated

videomicroscopy, cells were subjected to pulsed observations (every 10 min for up to 48 h) with
the same imaging system. Images were analyzed with the Attovision software (BD Bioscience).
Cytofluorometry. Ecto-CRT was detected by immunofluorescence staining or upon the
expression of a HaloTag-CRT fusion protein, which can be revealed by a means of a cell-
impermeant fluorescent HaloTag ligand, as previously described (20, 24). In some experiments,
Hoechst 33342 (2 µM; Molecular Probes-Invitrogen) was added 1 h earlier to monitor DNA
content. For the assessment of cell cycle distribution, harvested cells were fixed in ice-cold 80%
(v/v) ethanol and stained with 50 �g mL-1 propidium iodide (PI) in 0.1% D-glucose (w/v in PBS)
supplemented with 1 �g mL-1 RNAse A. Primary epithelial cells were labeled with a monoclonal
anti-pan-cytokeratin antibody (C2562, Sigma) - using the same protocol employed for ecto-CRT
detection - prior to classical PI staining. Samples were then analyzed by means of a FACSCalibur
8
or a FACScan cytofluorometer (BD Biosciences). Statistical analyses were carried out by using
the CellQuest™ software (BD Biosciences), upon gating on the events characterized by normal
forward scatter and side scatter values. Epithelial cells were identified by the expression of
cytokeratin.
Immunofluorescence microscopy. For cell surface staining, cells were cultured on 13-mm glass
coverslips in 12-well plates. After treatment, cells were placed on ice, washed twice with PBS
and fixed with 0.25% PFA (w/v in PBS) for 5 min. Cells were then washed twice in PBS and
incubated with primary antibodies (diluted in cold blocking buffer, namely, 5% BSA, v/v in PBS)
for 30 min. Cells were further washed 3 times in ice-cold PBS and then incubated for 30 min with
appropriate secondary antibodies (diluted 1:500 in cold blocking buffer). For intracellular
staining, cells were washed with PBS, fixed with 4% PFA for 20 min, permeabilized with 0.1%
Triton X-100 for 10 min and rinsed three times with PBS. Nonspecific binding sites were blocked
with blocking buffer for 30 min followed by incubation with primary antibodies for 1 h.
Subsequently, cells were washed three times with PBS and incubated for 30 min in FITC or
AlexaFluor® 568-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:1000 in cold blocking buffer; Molecular
Probes-Invitrogen Eugene, USA). When appropriate, 10 µM Hoechst 33342 was used for nuclear
counterstaining. Coverslips were washed with PBS and mounted on slides with 4',6-diamidino-2-
phenylindole (DAPI)-containing Vectashield® mounting medium (Vector Labs, Burlingame,
USA). Fluorescence microscopic assessments were performed with a DMIR2 inverted
fluorescence microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany).
Immunoblotting. For immunoblotting, cells were washed with cold PBS at 4ºC and lysed
following standard procedures. Forty µg of proteins were separated according to molecular
weight on NuPAGE® Novex® Bis-Tris 4–12% pre-cast gels (Invitrogen) and electrotransferred to
9
Immobilon polyvinyldifluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, Bedford, USA). Non-specific
binding sites were blocked by incubating membranes for 1 h in 0.05% Tween 20 (v/v in TBS)
supplemented with 5% non-fat powdered milk or BSA. After overnight incubation at 4 ºC,
primary antibodies were detected with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary
antibodies (Southern Biotechnologies Associates; Birmingham; UK) and revealed with the
SuperSignal West Pico chemoluminescent substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, USA)
or Amersham ECL+ (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK). The abundance of � actin was
monitored to ensure equal lane loading.
Isolation of cell surface proteins. Biotinylation and purification of cell surface proteins were
performed using the cell surface protein isolation kit from Pierce-Thermo Scientific (Rockford,
USA), following the manufacturer’s instructions with slight modifications. Briefly, parental and
hyperploid CT26 clones grown on 75 cm2 until 90-95% confluence were placed on ice and
washed twice with ice-cold PBS supplemented with 100 nM Ca2+ and 100 nM Mg2+. Membrane
proteins were then biotinylated by incubating cells for 30 min at 4ºC with Sulfo-NHS-SS-Biotin,
under gentle agitation. The reaction was quenched with the provided quenching solution. Cells
were then gently scraped, transferred to conical tubes and washed twice with TBS. Cell pellets
were lysed in 500 µL lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors (Complete Mini EDTA-free,
Roche) (30 min in ice, vortexing 5 sec every 5 min). Lysates were clarified by centrifugation at
10,000 g for 2 min at 4ºC. Surface proteins were isolated by incubating lysates for 1 h at room
temperature by means of a neutravidin agarose column. Finally, the column was washed three
times with washing buffer supplemented with protease inhibitors, and the surface proteins were
eluted by adding washing buffer containing 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT).

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and protein identification by mass spectrometry. After
purification, protein samples from parental and hyperploid cells were precipitated in 5 volumes of
ethanol overnight at 4°C, collected by centrifugation (5000 g, 40 min), and resuspended in
labeling buffer (7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 2% CHAPS, 1% sulfobetaine SB3-10, 1%
amidosulfobetaine ASB14). Samples were labeled with either the Cy3 or Cy5 dye, while internal
standard samples were labeled with the 3(���(�,�.$��#(�����*�!��#� ��� *��� ��)%� ���!"��$����
labeled with 400 pmol of cyanine dyes in 1 �4� �*� ��%(������ N,N-dimethylformamide (GE
Healthcare) for 30 min on ice under protection from light. The reaction was then quenched with
10 mM lysine for 10 min. A dye-swapping protocol was used to minimize labeling-dependent
artifacts. Quenched Cy3 and Cy5-labeled samples were combined and mixed with an aliquot of
Cy2-labeled standard and an equal volume of 2X sample buffer (7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 2%
CHAPS, 1% sulfobetaine SB3-10, 1% amidosulfobetaine ASB14, 2% w/v DTT, 2% v/v IPG
buffer 3-10 NL). Isoelectric focusing (IEF) was performed using 18-cm immobilized nonlinear
pH gradient strips (NL IPG pH 3.0 to 10.0; GE Healthcare) on an IPGphor II electrophoresis unit
(GE Healthcare). Proteins were loaded by in-gel rehydration for 9 h using low voltage (30V),
then run according to the following program: 100 V for 1 h, 200 V for 1 h, a progressive increase
up to 1000 V distributed over 30 min, 1000 V for 1 h, a progressive increase up to 8000 V
distributed over 2 h, 8000 V for 4 h. IPG gel strips were reduced in 1% DTT for 10 min at room
temperature and free SH groups were blocked using 4% iodoacetamide (both solutions were
prepared in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 6 M urea, 30% glycerol, 2% SDS, 2% bromophenol blue).
Strips were transferred to 1-mm thick 12% polyacrylamide gels (20 x 20 cm), and the second-
dimension gels were run at 50 mA for 6 h. Electrophoresis procedures were performed in the
dark. Labeled protein spots in the gel were visualized using the Typhoon 9400 imager (GE
Healthcare). Gels were scanned using a 488 nm laser and an emission filter of 520 nm band pass
11
(BP) 40, a 532 nm laser and an emission filter of 580 nm BP30, a 633 nm laser and a 670 nm
BP30 emission filter to acquire the Cy2, Cy3, and Cy5 images, respectively. One of the four gels
was post-stained using Sypro Ruby (BioRad) accordingly to the manufacturer’s instructions,
visualized using the Typhoon 9400 scanner and then used as preparative gel for downstream
protein identification. In order to compare protein spots across the four gels, image analyses were
conducted in two steps using DeCyder v6.5 2D Differential Analysis Software (GE Healthcare).
Briefly, processed data were filtered to reveal statistically relevant fold changes in protein
abundance, using the average ratios of 5�1.5 and or 6�-1.5 fold differences in expression and one-
way ANOVA analysis with a p value of 6 0.05. Spots were excised from the gels with an
automatic spot picker (Investigator ProPic; Genomic Solutions Inc.), subjected to in-gel tryptic
digestion, concentrated with ZipTip® �37� ! !�##�� # !�� �� "" !���� ���� �"�#��� � ��)#"(� ��#�� ��
MALDI target. MALDI-MS and MALDI-MS/MS were performed on an Applied Biosystems
4800 plus MALDI TOF/TOF. The MS and MS/MS data were interpreted with the GPS Explorer
software (Version 3.6, Applied Biosystems). A combined MS peptide fingerprint and MS/MS
peptide sequencing search was performed against the NCBI database without taxon restriction
using the MASCOT search algorithm. These searches specified trypsin as the digestion enzyme,
carbamidomethylation of cysteine as fixed modification, partial oxidation of methionine and
phosphorylation of serine, threonine, and tyrosine as variable modifications, and allowed for one
missed trypsin cleavage. The monoisotopic precursor ion tolerance was set to 30 ppm and the
MS/MS ion tolerance to 0.3 Da. MS/MS peptide spectra with a minimum ion score confidence
interval 5�95% were accepted. This was equivalent to a median ion score cut off of approximately
35 in the data set. Protein identifications were accepted with a statistically significant MASCOT

Chromosomal spreading and multicolor-FISH. Karyograms were performed as previously
reported (41). In brief, parental CT26 cells, 1 hyperploid clone and 2 recovered tumors (from
immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice) were treated with 1 �M nocodazole overnight to
enrich mitotic cells, then collected and subjected to hypotonic lysis by incubation in 75 mM KCl
for 10 min at 37°C. After the removal of the hypotonic solution, cells were fixed in freshly
prepared Carnoy solution (3:1 methanol:acetic acid) and stored at -20°C. Fixed cells were then
dropped onto glass slides and hybridized with the 21XMouse Multicolor FISH (mFISH) Probe
Kit (MetaSystems, Altlussheim, Germany) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly,
slides were denatured in 0.07 N NaOH and then rinsed in 70-100% ethanol series. Meanwhile,
the probe mix was denatured in a MJ mini personal thermal cycler (Bio-Rad laboratories,
Hercules, CA) with the following program: 5 min 75°C, 30 sec 10°C, and 30 min 37°C. Samples
were then hybridized in a humidified chamber at 37°C for 48 h followed by one wash in 1X
saline-sodium citrate (SSC) buffer for 5 min at 75°C and counterstaining with DAPI-containing
Vectashield®. Finally, metaphases were visualized and captured using an Axio-Imager M1
microscope equipped with six filter sets specific for the applied fluorochromes and with a charge
coupled device camera (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany). Karyotyping and cytogenetic analysis of
each single chromosome was performed by means of the ISIS software (MetaSystems). For each
experimental condition, at least 20 metaphases were analyzed. Chromosomes derived by the
fusion of the long arms of two different chromosomes in close proximity to the centromeric
region were approximated to a double chromosome in the calculation of the chromosome copy
number. Chromosome with ambiguous fluorochrome profiles were recorded as unknown. Of
note, in most cases, unknown chromosomes were essentially composed of centromeric DNA as a
side-result of fusion events.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) array. DNA, extracted from 2 hyperploid CT26
clones and their corresponding tumors obtained from immunocompetent (BALB/c) and
immunodeficent (Rag �) mice, was evaluated using a Qubit spectrophotometer (Invitrogen). For
microarray hybridizations, DNA (500 ng) from each sample was digested and its integrity
measured using an Agilent BioAnalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Test and
reference samples were labeled with the Cy5 and the Cy3 fluorescent dyes, respectively, by
means of the Genomic DNA Enzymatic Labeling Kit (Agilent Technologies), following the
manufacturer's protocol. Cy3-labeled and Cy5-labeled samples were then hybridized to the
SurePrint G3 Mouse CGH Microarray 4x180K (Agilent Technologies), prior to washing and
scanning with Agilent Scanner G2565CA. Oligonucleotide CGH processing was performed as
detailed in the manufacturer's protocol (version 4.0; http://www.agilent.com). Data were
extracted from scanned images using the Feature Extraction software v10.7.3 (Agilent
Technologies). Acquired signals were normalized according to dye and local GC% content using
in-house scripts under the R statistical environment (http://cran.r-project.org). Resulting log2
(ratio) were segmented using the CBS algorithm implementation from the R DNAcopy package
(42). Aberration status calling was automatically performed for each profile according to internal
noise (variation of log2 (ratio) values across consecutive probes on the genome). All genomic
coordinates were established on the UCSC Mus musculus genome build mm9 (43). Hierarchical
clustering was performed on the segmented data using Euclidean distances and the Ward’s
construction method. Differences across pairs of samples were quantified as the summed amount
in size of genome involved in gains and/or in losses for each comparison, and expressed as
percentage when compared to the size of the whole mouse genome.
14
Mice and genotyping. Mice were maintained in specific pathogen-free conditions, and
experiments followed the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Association
(FELASA) or National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NH&MRC)
guidelines. Animal experiments were in compliance with the EU Directive 63/2010 and were
approved by the Ethical Committee of the Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR, Villejuif, France)
(CEEA IRCIV/IGR n° 26, registered at the French Ministry of Research), the Peter MacCallum

Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Vienna, Austria).
WT BALB/c and C57Bl/6 mice were obtained from Harlan France (Gannat, France), Janvier (Le
Genest St Isle, France) and Charles River Laboratories (Saint- Germain sur l’Arbresle, France);
Rag � and SCID/NOD mice from the IGR animal facility. Ifnar1-/- and Ifng-/- mice were kindly
provided by Dr. Matthew L. Albert (Institut Curie, Paris, France). To obtain primary Tp53-/- cells
, we cross-bred C57Bl/6 mice with a heterozygous deletion in the Tp53 gene (CNRS UMR6218,
Orleans, France), thereby generating Tp53+/+ (WT) and Tp53-/- animals. F1 mice were genotyped
by standard PCR procedures based on the following primers: p53-fwd (5'-
ACAGCGTGGTGGTACCTTAT-3'), p53-rev (5'-TATACTCAGAGCCGGCCT-3') and pNeo-
fwd (5'-CTATCAGGACATAGCGTTGG-3').
Antitumor vaccination and tumorigenicity assay. For vaccination experiments, 3x106 CT26
cells (be they WT or stably expressing ERp57- or CRT-targeting shRNAs) cells were left
untreated or treated with microtubule inhibitors for 48 h, and then were inoculated
subcutaneously in 200 µL PBS into the lower flank of 6-week-old female BALB/c mice. 5x105
untreated control cells were inoculated into the contralateral flank one week later. To restore CRT
at the plasma membrane of CT26 cells stably expressing a shRNA against CRT, before
15
inoculation, cells were incubated with recombinant CRT (generated in insect cells, 2-3 µg
recombinant protein/106 cells) in PBS on ice for 30 min, followed by three washes (39). For
tumorigenicity assays, 5x105 parental and hyperploid cells were injected subcutaneously into
BALB/c (class I MHC haplotype H-2d), C57Bl/6 (class I MHC haplotype H-2b) or Rag � (class I
MHC with the corresponding haplotype mice. Tumors were evaluated weekly using a common
caliper. Animals bearing tumors that exceeded 20–25% body mass were euthanatized. In some
experiments, BALB/c or C57Bl/6 mice that had previously been injected with hyperploid cells
but failed to develop tumors were re-injected with diploid cells, in order to establish the possible
vaccination quality of hyperploid cells. CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes were depleted in vivo by
the intraperitoneal injection of specific antibodies (see above) 5 days before tumor cell
inoculation, and on days 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, 24 and 30. The depletion of CD4+ and CD8+ cells was
confirmed by immunofluorescence staining of spleen lymphocytes.
Priming assays. 3x106 (parental WT, hyperploid WT and hyperploid shCRT-transfected) CT26
cells were injected into the footpad of mice. Re-stimulation of draining popliteal node cells was
performed with heat-inactivated, dead CT26 cells (3x104 tumor cells heated for 5 min at 42°C,
followed by 1 cycle of freezing/thawing in liquid nitrogen). Supernatants were harvested 72 h
after re-stimulation and IFN� secretion was assessed by ELISA, as previously described (44).
Carcinogenesis models. Inbred WT Stat1-/-, and RAG-2 x �c-/- C57Bl/6 mice were bred and
maintained at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Dnam1+/+ E�-myc+ transgenic mice and their
Dnam1-/- E�-myc+ transgenic littermates (F2) were derived from breeding a Dnam1+/- E�-myc+
male with a Dnam1+/- E�-myc+ female (F1). This F1 generation was obtained by crossing a E�-
16
myc+ F0 male with a F0 Dnam1-/-. RAG-2 x �c-/- Il2-/- C57Bl/6 mice were purchased from The
Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA).
MCA model. WT and Stat1-/- male mice aged 6-10 weeks were injected subcutaneously in the
flank with 25 µg 3’-methylcholanthrene (MCA) dissolved in corn oil, as previously described
(32). Mice were then monitored 3 days a week for tumor growth over a period of 250 days. When
tumors reached 50-100 mm2, tumors and spleens were aseptically harvested, fixed in 10% neutral
buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin blocks.
E�-myc model. The F2 generation of Dnam1+/+ E�-myc+ mice and Dnam1-/- E�-myc+ mice was
monitored for the onset of spontaneous lymphomas. When mice showed lymphoma symptoms
such as an elevated white blood cell count, enlarged peripheral lymph nodes, lethargy, or troubled
breathing, the lymphoid tissue that manifested the disease (e.g., spleen, thymus, axillary/brachial
lymph nodes, inguinal lymph nodes, cervical lymph nodes) and peripheral blood were collected
and cell lines were generated. Additionally, some tissue was fixed in 10% neutral buffered
formalin and embedded in paraffin blocks.
DMBA/TPA model. For two-stage chemical carcinogenesis, the backs of 8-week-old-mice were
shaved and treated 2 days later with a single application of 7,12-� ��#%("8��9:�;��#%��)����
(DMBA, 25 µg in 200 µL acetone) followed by biweekly applications of 12-O-
tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA, 200 µL of 10-1 mM solution in acetone) for 12 weeks.
Mice were visually examined weekly and euthanatized if any individual tumor reached a
diameter of 2-3 mm or at the end of the experiment (16 weeks post-DMBA) (45). Tumors from
sacrificed animals were collected, fixed in 4% PFA and processed for histological studies.
17
MPA/DMBA model. RAG-2 x �c-/- Il2-/- C57Bl/6 mice were obtained from Taconic (Hudson,
NY, USA). Mammary tumors were induced by using medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and
DMBA, as previously described (46-48). Briefly, 6 week old female mice were anesthetized
using Ketamine/Xylasol and received, as a subcutaneous implant, slow release
medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) pellets (50 mg/pellet, 90-days release, from Innovative
Research of America, Sarasota, FL, USA). In addition, mice received 1 mg DMBA (in 200 µL
corn oil) 6 times over a period of 8 weeks, according to a previously reported scheme (48). Mice
were routinely examined and mammary tumors were collected, upon mouse euthanasia, when
they reached a volume of 1 cm3. Collected tumors were fixed in 10% formalin overnight and
processed for histological studies.
Tumor patient selection. Breast cancer patients (Table S3) were treated with 3 cycles of
anthracycline and 3 cycles of docetaxel followed by surgery. “Responders” exhibited a complete
pathological response with only few residual cancer cells (Chevallier score 6� ,� <=�� -

(49).
Histology and immunohistochemistry. Samples from recovered tumors, mammary gland
tissues and human breast adenocarcinoma biopsies were fixed with 4% PFA for 4 h and then

Figure S2: CRT exposure is a cell-autonomous event. Cell-autonomous origin of cell-surface
CRT on cytochalasin D (CytD)-treated cells. A, CRT exposure on viable cells. Human colon
carcinoma HCT 116 cells were either left untreated (control) or cultured for 48 h in the presence
of ,�� ��� cytochalasin D (CytD), followed by immunostaining for the detection of surface-
exposed CRT (ecto-CRT) plus counterstaining with the vital dye propidium iodide (PI), and
cytofluorometric analysis. Side (SSC) and forward scatters (FSC) were used to eliminate debris
from data analysis, and PI positivity to exclude dead cells from the analysis. Finally, cells
belonging to both gate 1 and 2 were assessed for CRT surface expression. B, Failure of CRT
from dying or dead cells to bind to live cells. Wild type (WT) HCT 116 cells were cultured in the
absence or presence of 1.2 µM CytD for 48 h, washed and recultured for further 24 h, followed
by the detection of surface CRT by indirect immunofluorescence. The same study was performed
on H2B-GFP-expressing HCT 116 cells that were kept in control conditions for 48 h or co-
incubated with WT HCT 116 cells that had been pre-treated with CytD for 48 h. The ratio of
H2B-GFP-expressing to WT HCT 116 cells was 10:1. Note the absence of CRT transfer from
CytD-treated WT to H2B-GFP-expressing HCT 116 cells. C, Failure of the HaloTag-CRT fusion
protein to shuttle from dying or dead to live cells. Human osteosarcoma U2OS cells stably
expressing HaloTag-CRT fusion protein (HT-CRT) were split into two aliquots, one that was
either treated with 1.2 µM CytD for 48 h, followed by three washes, and 24 h of culture in drug-
free conditions or left untreated for the same time, and another one that was labeled with
MitoTracker® Deep Red FM (Molecular Probes), following the manufacturer’s instructions.

upon acute exposure to multiple microtubular inhibitors in a variety of murine and human cancer
cell lines, as well as in Tp53-/- primary mouse intestinal cells (IECs) and mammary gland
epithelial cells (MGCs). Murine colon carcinoma CT26 cells (n=4, A), human colon carcinoma
HCT 116 cells (n=5, B), or human wild type non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells (n=7, C) were
treated with 30 nM epothilone B (EpoB), 100 nM taxotere (TXT) or 300 nM paclitaxel (PCT)
overnight. A549-derived B480 cells (n=10, C), that had been selected in – and are addicted to the
continuous presence of – epothilone B (due to several tubulin � and � mutations) (50), were
allowed to tetraploidize by the removal of epothilone B. Alternatively, HCT 116 cells (n=4, D),
murine Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells (n=3, E), IECs (n=3, F) and MGCs (n=14, G) were treated
with 1.2 �M cytochalasin D (CytD), 2 µM dihydrocytochalasin B (DCB) or 100 nM nocodazole
(Noco) overnight. Finally, CRT exposure was determined by cytofluorometry. Representative

cytofluorometry. C-E. Immunoselection affects CRT/ERp57 exposure. Hyperploid clones from
murine Lewis lung carcinoma LLC (C) and murine fibrosarcoma MCA205 (D) cells were either
cultured in vitro, grown in vivo without immunoselection (in Rag � mice), or grown on
immunocompetent (C57Bl/6) mice for immunoselection, recovered no less than one month later
and then assessed for CRT exposure by cytofluorometry. Alternatively, colon carcinoma CT26
hyperploid clones cultured in vitro or grown in vivo on Rag � or BALB/c mice for at least one
week were characterized for ERp57 exposure by cytofluorometry (E). One-tailed Student’s t test
29
was used for statistical comparisons. Error bars indicate SEM. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, compared to
cells cultured in vitro.
Figure S15: Reduced ploidy and ER stress after immunoselection. A-D, Representative
pictures of methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcomas (A,B), E�-myc-driven B cell lymphomas
(C), or medroxyprogesterone acetate-induced mammary carcinomas (D) from immunodeficient
�D���G��Stat1-/- or Dnam1-/-) versus immunocompetent mice, upon immunohistochemical staining
for the detections of eIF2� phosphorylation. Scale bar, 10 �m. E, Representative pictures of
mammary carcinomas from patients who did (responders) or did not (non-responders) respond to
chemotherapy, upon immunohistochemical staining for the detection of eIF2� phosphorylation
(upper panels), CD8+ lymphocytes (middle panels) and FOXP3+ lymphocytes (lower panels).
