No cell lines used in this study were found in the database of commonly misidentified cell lines maintained by the ICLAD and NCBI. MCF10A human breast epithelial cells and MDCK II canine kidney epithelial cells were purchased from ATCC and were maintained as previously described11 (link),41 (link). Cell lines were used for no more than twelve passages and were tested periodically for mycoplasma contamination (Lonzo MycoAlert). The cell lines were not authenticated. MDCKII lines expressing control shLuc, shLKB1 clones 11 and 14, and shE-cadherin were generous gifts from Dr. Michael Sebbagh17 (link). MDCKII cells were maintained in DMEM (4g/L D-glucose with L-Glutamine) with 10% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals) and 1× Penicillin/ Streptomycin (Sigma). These lines were chosen for they are both non-tumorigenic epithelial lines that form strong cell-cell adhesions which have been characterized by our laboratory and others11 (link),41 (link)-43 (link). 293GPG cells are a virus-producing cell line that are a derivative of 293T cells and were maintained as described previously11 (link).
