Figure 2.2. ncBAF complex components are selective synthetic lethal dependencies in synovial sarcoma and malignant rhabdoid tumor cell lines.
(C) Heatmap of dependency scores in SYO-1 (SS18-SSX-driven synovial sarcoma) and SW982 (histological synovial sarcoma mimic without SS18-SSX translocation) ranked by difference in dependency showing ncBAF-specific components are dependencies only in the SS18-SSX driven cell line
CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing
Genome editing was performed using CRISPR/Cas9. Target-specific sgRNA sequences were chosen using the Benchling web application and The Broad Institute’s Genetic Perturbation Platform web application. These sgRNA sequences were cloned into the Px459 vector (Addgene). 5ug of CRISPR/Cas9 vector along with 50ng of pmaxGPF Vector (Lonza) was then nucleofected into ~1 million Jurkat cells using the X-05 Nucleofector I Device (Lonza).
