Leukemic cell mRNA and protein sequencing was performed as previously described (4 (link)). In brief, RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent and quantitated by fluorimetry (Qubit), and integrity was assessed using a TapeStation 2200 (Agilent Technologies). RNA sequencing was performed using Truseq poly-A selected library construction (Illumina) and paired end 100-bp sequencing using Hiseq 2000 and 2500 sequencers. Proteins were extracted from pre-B cells and digested in solution by sequential addition of Lys-C and trypsin proteases. The resulting peptides were individually desalted and labeled with 6-plex Tandem Mass Tag reagents (Thermo Scientific) for sequencing by tandem mass tag-based mass spectrometry.
