摘要

Background

Synthetic lethal interactions are attractive therapeutic candidates as they enable selective targeting of cancer cells in which somatic alterations have disrupted one member of a synthetic lethal gene pair while leaving normal tissues untouched, thus minimising off-target toxicity. Despite this potential, the number of well-established and validated synthetic lethal gene pairs is modest.

Results

We generate a dual-guide CRISPR/Cas9 Library and analyse 472 predicted synthetic lethal pairs in 27 cancer cell Lines from melanoma, pancreatic and lung cancer Lineages. We report a robust collection of 117 genetic interactions within and across cancer types and explore their candidacy as therapeutic targets. We show that SLC25A28 is an attractive target since its synthetic lethal paralog partner SLC25A37 is homozygously deleted pan-cancer. We generate knockout mice for Slc25a28 revealing that, except for cataracts in some mice, these animals are normal; suggesting inhibition of SLC25A28 is unlikely to be associated with profound toxicity.

Conclusions

We provide and validate an extensive collection of synthetic lethal interactions across cancer types.
