Supplementary Table 1. RNA was isolated from RPMI8226 cells using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA), quality checked using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer, labled with flashtag™ biotin HSR (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) and hybridized to to GeneChip® miR 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix) that included probe sets for 15,644 total mature miRs, 2,202 human pre- miRs and 2,334 snoRNAs and scaRNAs. Samples were added to hybridization chambers that contained biotin-labeled LMW RNAs and 20X hybridization controls (1.5pM bioB, 5pM bioC, 25pM bioD, 100pM cre), 10% DMSO, 27.5% formamide, and 1X hybridization buffer, boiled at 99C for 5min, incubated at 45C for 5min and centrifuged for 5min. Samples were washed, stained and scanned using the Genechip Scanner 3000 7G and integrated command console software. Total miR was isolated using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD) and RT-PCR performed with the All-in-One™ miR qRT-PCR kits and validated primers (GeneCopoeia, Rockville, MD) in the CFX96 RT-PCR detection system (Biorad, Hercules, CA). Calculations for expression levels were made using the ∆∆Ct method.

Supplementary Table 2. Transfection efficiency was verified by probing the subcellular fractions by northern blot with tRNAlys (cytoplasmic fraction) or U6 snRNA (nuclear fraction). Total RNA (10ug) was harvested using PARIS™ Kit (Invitrogen) and was separated on formaldehyde-agarose gels and transferred to Hybond™ nucleic acid blotting membrane (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, England). Oligonucleotide probes were 5' end-labeled with digoxigenin-3-0-methylcarbonyl-ε-aminocaproic acid-N-hydroxy-succinimide ester (DIG). Hybridizations and washes were performed at 52oC and 65oC respectively in a model 400 hybridization oven (Robbin’s Scientific, Sunnyvale, CA). Blots were incubated with anti- digoxigenin-AP, Fab fragments (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) followed by CSPD ready- to-use (Roche). Chemiluminescence was visualized on Hyblot CL® Autorad film (Denville Scientific, NJ) using a M35A X-OMAT X-Ray film processor (Eastman Kodak, Rochester, NY).

Supplementary Table 3. Gene Expression Microarray: Total mRNA was isolated from parental and resistant cells using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Inc., Germantown, MD). Samples were analyzed using the Genechip primeview assay for target synthesis and labeling. Samples were hybridized to the Genechip primeview human gene expression array and those demonstrating a cutoff greater or less than 1.5-fold difference from the parental cell line used for further analysis. The quality of the total RNA was confirmed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using the RNA 6000 Nano Assay. For each sample, the 3’ IVT Express Kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) synthesizes biotin – label cRNA target from 100ng of total RNA. A hybridization cocktail which includes 10 g of cRNA target is created for each sample. The samples are hybridized to a standard Probe Array Cartidge (GeneChip Primeview Human Gene Expression Array–Affymetrix) in the GeneChip Hybridization Oven 640 (Affymetrix). Probe arrays are washed and stained using the Fluidics Station 450 (Affymetrix). Arrays were scanned with the Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G. Raw data files were created by Command Console, the Affymetrix operating software program. The Affymetrix Expression Console Program was used to examine the Affymetrix Gene Array quality control factors for all samples in a project. Two separate independent algorithms were used to normalize the data for all samples within a project. Data is normalized using the Robust Multi-Array Analysis (RMA) algorithm and the MAS5 algorithm. Specific quality control metrics examined include signal histogram, relative log expression signal, Pearson's correlation, pm mean (average signal intensity of probes), % genes called present, 3’5’ ratio of housekeeping genes, expression values of spiked-in poly-A RNA controls, and values of spiked-in hybridization controls.
