Lentiviral particles containing an inducible shRNA vector containing IQGAP1 targeting sequences (5’-GCCCACATTGTGCCTTTATTTCTC-3’, control 5’-CCTAAGGTTAAGTCGCCCTCGCTC-3’) or a scrambled control sequence cloned into the pLKO.Tet.On shRNA lentivector (Addgene, Cambridge, Mass) were generated as previously described.6 (link) Transduced PDAC cells were selected with 2 ug/mL puromycin and shRNAs were induced with 25 ng/mL (Capan-1) or 100 ng/mL (PANC-1) doxycycline (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo) for 3 or 7 days.
