a. SLC16A1 and BSG genes contain the highest degree of insertional enrichment in 3-BrPA selected cells compared to the unselected control cells (p=4.7E-121 and p=5E-29, respectively). Y axis represents the inverse logarithm of p values, calculated by Fisher Exact Test. The X-axis represents the insertion sites ordered by their genomic position. The diameter of the bubbles denotes the number of insertions for each gene. b. Wild type and MCT1 null KBM7 cells were treated for 3 hours with 3-BrPA (50uM) and FACS analysis have been performed using 7AAD and Annexin V staining.

LACTATE PRODUCTION

Supplementary Figure 2 - Metabolic characterization of Wild Type and MCT1 null KBM7 cells

a. Lactate production of wild type and MCT1 null KBM7 cells were measured using a colorimetric assay and normalized by cell number. ECAR and OCR reading were measured using Seahorse Extracellular Flux Analyzer. AUC (area under curve) converts OCR rate data to accumulation of total oxygen consumed upon three separate readings.b. Extracellular Flux Analysis of wild type and MCT1 null KBM7 cells upon 3-BrPA (50 uM) addition. Changes in OCR, a proxy for oxygen consumption, were monitored upon the addition of 50 uM 3-BrPA. Results are displayed as a percentage of the OCR reading immediately before 3-BrPA addition. Error bars are SEM.c. Relative cellular ATP levels during a time course following 3-BrPA treatment. 50uM 3-BrPA was added onto wild type and MCT1 null KBM7 cells. Relative ATP levels were measured using a luciferase based assay for 2 hours. Error bars are SEM.

Cells were infected with corresponding shRNAs and grown in RPMI media in presence and absence of 3-BrPA. 50uM and 10uM 3-BrPA were used for MDA-MB-468 and KBM7, respectively. Note the synergistic effect of GAPDH inhibition and 3-BrPA treatment on cell number.

Supplementary Figure 5 - Correlation of other MCT transporter expression levels with 3-BrPA sensitivity

The concentration of 3-BrPA at which 50% cell growth inhibition occurred after 3 days of administration (IC50) was determined for a panel of cancer cell lines. These values were correlated with transcriptome-wide mRNA expres-sion data from the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and the resulting Pearson correlation coefficients were plotted. Relative expression levels for known lactate transporters (MCTs and SMCTs) were correlated with the corresponding IC50 values for 3-BrPA of each cell line.
