Human THP-1 (ATCC) and MOLM-14 (ATCC) cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin and 2 mM L-glutamine. Authenticity of the cells was confirmed by short tandem repeat (STR) analysis [44 (link)]. Cells were infected with lentiviral vectors expressing a MUC1 shRNA, NF-κB p65 shRNA or scrambled control shRNA vector (Sigma). Cells were selected and maintained in puromycin [40 (link)]. Cells were treated with the NF-κB pathway inhibitor BAY-11-7085 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or DMSO as a vehicle control.
