Novel candidate driver cancer genes identified by shRNA screening in Ba/F3 viability assay. (A) Ba/F3 cells were transfected with short-hairpin RNAs (shRNA) targeting indicated genes. Empty vector (pGIPZ) and nonspecific shRNA served as the control. Cells were cultured without IL-3 for 4 wk and harvested for viability assay. Cell viability relative to Ba/F3 parental cells was shown. (*) P < 0.05, compared with Ba/F3 parental control. (B) Whole cell lysates were also collected for Western blotting with indicated antibodies, and ERK2 was used as the loading control.
