Transcriptional profiling for CRISPR activation of a myeloma-preferential dependency

ABSTRACT: Clinical progress in multiple myeloma (MM), an incurable plasma cell (PC) neoplasia, has been driven by therapies which have limited applications beyond MM/PC neoplasias and do not target specific oncogenic mutations in MM. Instead, these agents target pathways critical for PC biology yet largely dispensable for malignant or normal cells of most other lineages. We systematically characterized the lineage-preferential molecular dependencies of MM through genome-scale CRISPR gene editing studies in MM vs. hundreds of non-MM lines. This identified a collection of genes whose disruption has more pronounced or recurrent impact on the MM cell fitness compared to other malignancies. These genes, some known, others not previously linked to MM, encode transcription factors, chromatin modifiers, endoplasmic reticulum components, metabolic regulators or signaling molecules. The current dataset describes the transcriptional profiling of a MM cell line with CRISPR activation for the myeloma-preferential dependency, POU2AF1. The transcriptional profile of CRISPR activation of an additional gene (PANK1), which does not serve as a MM-preferential dependency in CRISPR gene editing studies, is also described.
