(A) Individual validation of selected HMEC ORF GO genes by multi-color
competition assay (MCA). Bar plot shows the percent of ORF-expressing cells
after 6 PDs of culture from a starting mixture of 50:50 with EV cells. Error
bars ± SD. Asterisk represents an ORF that was not in the screening
library but was included in the validation experiment.
(B) Distribution of HMEC average Log2FC of KRTAP ORFs (top) and neutral
gene family Olfactory Receptor ORFs (bottom).
(C) Distribution of average log2FC of KRTAP ORFs in HPNE (top) and
IMR90 (bottom) screens.
(D) HMEC average log2FC values for KRTAP ORFs arranged by sub-family.
GO gene sub-families are labeled in red, and selected neutral subfamilies are
labeled in gray.
(E) Bar plots of normalized expression of KRTAP (GO or neutral) genes
in breast cancer subtypes and normal mammary gland tissue. Normal, normal
tissue; ER/PR, ER or PR positive; HER2, HER2-positive; TPBC, triple positive
breast cancer (ER/PR positive and HER2 positive); TNBC, triple negative breast
cancer. Tumor type and p value (Wilcoxon rank sum test) are indicated above each
plot.
(F) Heatmap of top enriched gene sets among most overexpressed and
under-expressed genes in each sample, based on GSEA analysis of RNA-seq data.
The heatmap depicts GSEA normalized enrichment score (NES) for each pathway in
each sample and is annotated to reflect some of the predominant trends in
indicated clusters.
(G) E2F1 mRNA levels (from RNA-seq) after overexpression of the
indicated ORF (and in TP53KO) in HMECs as compared to empty vector (EV). Error
bars ± SD.
(H) Western blot for E2F1 protein levels in cells expressing indicated
ORF or empty vector (EV). Vinculin (VINC) was used as a loading control.
Normalized expression levels are shown below the blot.
(I) Western blot for E2F1 protein levels in cells utilized for (J).
Vinculin (VINC) is used as a loading control.
(J) Bar plot showing proliferation rate (shown as percentage change
compared to EV control) of HMECs expressing empty vector (EV), KRTAP10-6
(KAP10-6), or KRTAP4-5 (KAP4-5). Cells were transduced with shRNAs targeting
E2F1, or with a control shRNA targeting OR11L1. Cells without any shRNA were
also tested. Error bars ± SD.
