2. Figure 1 High-Content Genome-wide siRNA Screen for Modulators of p16
(A) Color coding used to illustrate the number of SD of the experimental siRNA value from the siGLO median. This color-coding system is employed for each phenotypic criterion and is used to define the S (green) and R hits (orange).
(B–D) Heat maps of SD scores as described in (A) for each phenotypic criterion following transfection of HMECs with A-pool, Q-pool, Q1, Q2, or Q3 siRNAs for (B) the S and (C) the R hits and (D) the supergrower (SG) hits. A brief function is assigned to each S and R hit (see Experimental Procedures).
(E) HMECs stained with DAPI (blue) and αp16 (green) following transfection with control siRNAs (CBX7, siGLO, p16) or A-pool siRNAs targeting representative S (WNT3A, CDH22) and R hits (MOBKL1A, GPR147). Size bar, 200 μm.

Bottom inset: mean mRNA level for (A) SUFU and p16 following transfection with A-pool siRNAs targeting SUFU and (B) GSK-3β and p16 following transfection with A-pool, Q1, Q2 or Q3 siRNAs targeting GSK-3β. Values were normalized to the internal GAPDH control and expressed relative to siGLO control levels (100%).
