TF siRNA screen and validation was performed as in [2 (link)]. For RNA and protein extraction and GSH assays, 1.2 × 105 Calu-3 or 16HBE14o cells were seeded per well in 24 well plates. Calu-3 and 16HBE14o cells were reverse or forward transfected, respectively, with BACH1 siRNA (Ambion Silencer®Select Catalog # 4392420- S1860, or Santa Cruz sc-37064) or negative control #2 siRNA (Catalog # 4390846, or Santa Cruz control siRNA-A sc-37007) at 18 pmol/well using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent or Santa Cruz sc-37064, 48 h post-transfection, cells were exposed to oxidative stress by addition of H2O2 — 800 μM for 16 h or 600 μM for 8 h for Calu-3 and 16HBE14o cells, respectively, in DMEM without serum, before collection of samples.
