Lentivirus-based shRNA constructs were obtained from National C6 RNAi Core Facility (Taipei, Taiwan). The target sequences of various shRNAs are listed in Supplementary Table S4. WDR4 KO cells were generated by National C6 RNAi Core Facility. Briefly, two sgRNAs were designed to target exon 1 and exon 7. The sgRNAs were cloned to pAll-Cas9.Ppuro (National C6 RNAi Core Facility). The targeting sequences for exon 1 are: 5'GTCACCGACCGGTGCGGAC & 5'GCCGCGTCTCTGCGCCTGGA and for exon 7 are: 5'TGTGGGGCTTCCGTCAGGT & 5'GGCAGTCGCCTGACTTGAG. A549 cells were transfected with the generated plasmids, selected with puromycin, and followed by single cell colony isolation. The devoid of WDR4 expression was confirmed by Western blot.
