Volcano plots of phenotype scores and P values from genome-wide CRISPR interference screens under treatment with ( A ) pralatrexate, ( C ) bortezomib, ( D ) gemcitabine, ( E ) <t>romidepsin,</t> and ( F ) oxaliplatin. Orange points denote gene knockdowns with false discovery rate (FDR) below 10%, calculated from comparison with ‘pseudogene’ controls from non-targeting guide RNAs (gray; Methods); this threshold corresponds to Mann Whitney P values <0.05 (noting that FDR is not type 1 error). B . Effect of SLC19A1 knockdown on pralatrexate resistance. Pralatrexate dose response was measured in SU-DHL-1 cells expressing dCas9-KRAB, either untransformed, transformed with a non-targeting guide RNA, or transformed with a guide RNA targeting SLC19A1. Error bars show the standard deviation of four replicate measurements. At a physiologically relevant pralatrexate concentration (60nM, based on human pharmacokinetic studies) SLC19A1 knockdown abolished pralatrexate response compared with non-targeting control ( P = 0.00002, Student’s t-test).

A. Example dose-response measurements of T– and NK-cell lymphoma cultures treated with pralatrexate for 72 hours. Cell viability was measured by luminescence (CellTiter-Glo) relative to untreated controls. Replicates included two independently propagated cultures, assayed on different plates across different weeks, yielding 3-4 replicates for each of 30 lymphoma cultures. B. Normalized drug sensitivities of 30 lymphoma cultures to 5 therapies used in the second-line treatment of PTCL. Sensitivities were quantified as the area over the dose-response curve (AOC), up to a clinically relevant maximum concentration (0.9 μM romidepsin , 0.06 μM pralatrexate , 0.8 μM bortezomib , 0.1 μM gemcitabine , and 4 μM oxaliplatin ). White asterisks mark cultures in the top quartile of sensitivity to each therapy. C. Heatmap indicating which lymphoma cultures are in the top quartile of sensitivity to one or more drugs.

Daclatasvir reduces lipid accumulation by targeting PLIN2 and enhancing lipid metabolism pathways. A: PLIN2 protein levels in HuH-7 cells lentiviral infected with either control shRNA or sh PLIN2 . Quantitative data are shown on the bottom, using β-ACTIN as the loading control. B: Representative Nile Red staining images of sh PLIN2 HuH-7 cell lines with the reintroduction of PLIN2 or PLIN2 -mut plasmids, and treated with DMSO or daclatasvir (10 μM) for 12 h following 18 h of PA/OA (0.25 mM/0.5 mM) stimulation. Scale bar, 25 μm. C: The mRNA levels of lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation-related genes, including ATGL , MAGL , ACOX1 , CPT1α , and PPARα , in sh PLIN2 HuH-7 cell lines reintroduced with PLIN2 or PLIN2 -mut plasmids, treated with daclatasvir or DMSO for 12 h in presence of PA (0.5 mM) stimulation. D: Schematic representation illustrating that daclatasvir (DCV) binds to wild type (WT) PLIN2 in the cytoplasm, which facilitates MARCH6-mediated K11 ubiquitination of PLIN2. This process increases the access of PLIN2 to the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS) and degradation, causes PLIN2 less bound to LD. It diminishes the protective effect of LD-anchored PLIN2, reducing the stability of LD and enhancing lipolysis, resulting in a reduction in lipid accumulation. Because of the non-interaction with daclatasvir, mutant (Mut) PLIN2 get less access to the UPS and anchors more into LD, thus keeping the stability of LD and inhibits lipolysis. For (A, B), n = 3 independent biological replicates; for (C), n = 6 independent biological replicates. Data are presented as mean ± SD; ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, n.s., not significant; Student's t test in (A), and one-way ANOVA in (B, C).
