Figure 2. KDSR is essential for leukemia cells.
(A) Growth competition assay of MV4-11 and MOLM13 cells transduced with RFP-labeled negative control sgRNAs (sgLUC and sgREN; grey lines) and sgRNAs targeting KDSR (sgKDSR#1 and sgKDSR#2; blue lines). (B) Effect of ectopically expressed KDSR cDNA (GFP-labeled) on the cell numbers of sgKDSR (RFP-labeled) transduced MV4-11 and MOLM13 cells. (C) Growth competition assay of KDSR depletion in eight cancer cell models. (D,E) Cell cycle monitored by EdU and DAPI, and (F,G) cellular apoptosis detected by Annexin V in MV4-11 and MOLM13 cells. Data are represented as mean ± SD of triplicated experiments. *P < 0.01 using Student’s t-test.
