Secondary shRNA screen for genes required by MLL-AF9 AML in vivo. (A) Schematic of secondary screen. MLL-AF9 transduced mouse granulocyte monocyte progenitors were serially transplanted into recipient mice. Quaternary transplanted leukemia cells (c-KithiCD34+FCRγRIIhi) were sorted and infected with 3 pools of shRNAs in 5 replicates and transplanted into sublethally irradiated mice. Pretransplant cells (day 0 sample) and day 14 bone marrow samples were sequenced to determine shRNA representation. (B) Positive control shRNAs are significantly more depleted than negative control shRNAs. Shown is the median log2 fold depletion of 5 replicates. Lines indicate mean. ***P < .001, *P < .05, t test. (C) List of 13 screen hits.
