| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi) with pooled and barcoded short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) libraries provides a powerful tool for identifying cellular components that are relevant to the modes/mechanisms of action of bioactive compounds. We used multiplex barcode sequencing technology which enables parallel analysis of multiple samples. An shRNA library screen with this system revealed that downregulation of ATP1A1, a catalytic subunit of Na+/K+ ATPase, conferred significant sensitivity to aurilide B, a natural marine product that induces mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Combined treatment with ouabain which inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase by targeting catalytic subunits potentiated sensitivity to aurilide B.
