Genome-wide RNAi Screens Identify KRAS-NF-κB Signaling

Large-scale, arrayed format RNAi screens to identify genes essential for proliferation/viability were performed as described3 (link),14 (link). The effect of introducing each of the 5002 shRNAs (targeting 957 genes) was determined in 19 cell lines, and normalized using the B-score metric4 (link). Feature selection of shRNA B-score data was performed using the Comparative Marker Application Suite in GenePattern5 (link) and was independently analyzed using RIGER analysis6 (link) to compute NES for each gene. Secondary screen viability data was normalized using a percent of control statistic, given the biased nature of the candidate shRNA plate. Expression profiling was used to generate a signature that correlates with KRAS activation and implicated NF-κB signaling in cell lines and tumors dependent on KRAS. Regulation of NF-κB by TBK1 was shown using biochemical and cell biological approaches. Details of the analytical methods are provided in the Full Methods.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
