RNA-seq on MCF10A-YAP5SA cells (overexpressed constrictively activated YAP in MCF10A cells) transduced with sgRNAs vectors targeting the TEAD4 binding motif within the identified enhancers
We performed a CRISPR-based functional genetic screen targeting TEAD4 binding motif  located within the YAP-bound enhancers. The screen identified seven functional enhancers whose targeting resulted in a marked negative effect on the proliferation of MCF10A-YAP-5SA cells (overexpressed constrictively activated YAP) but no significant effect on MCF10A (parental control) cells. We then carried out RNA-seq analysis on MCF10A-YAP-5SA cells transduced with sgRNA vectors targeting these seven enhancers (enhancers A, B, C, D, E, F, G) as well as the non-targeting sgRNA as control (NT). Overall design: We have two different sgRNAs targeting each enhancer and we included three different non-targeting (NT)  sgRNAs as control. They are NT (27),  NT (28), NT (30).
