To identify viability‑dependent kinases in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we applied an RNAi‑assisted protein target identification (RAPID) assay across cytogenetic subtypes. In t(1;19) pediatric ALL, which produces the E2A‑PBX1 fusion, we identified the receptor tyrosine kinase ROR1 as uniquely essential for cell survival. We also found that t(1;19) ALL cells are highly sensitive to the kinase inhibitor dasatinib, which targets key mediators of pre‑B‑cell receptor (pre‑BCR) signaling. ROR1 and the pre‑BCR activate compensatory pathways, suggesting that dual‑pathway inhibition may offer an optimized therapeutic strategy. 000000728 540__ $$fCC BY 000000728 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000728 650__ $$aProtein Kinase Inhibitors$$035962 000000728 650__ $$aB-Lymphocytes$$015306 000000728 650__ $$aCell Differentiation$$016279 000000728 650__ $$aReceptor Tyrosine Kinase-like Orphan Receptors$$038804 000000728 650__ $$aSignal Transduction$$028380 000000728 650__ $$aPrecursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma$$037720 000000728 650__ $$aPre-B Cell Receptors$$037833 000000728 650__ $$aProtein-Tyrosine Kinases$$024762 000000728 650__ $$aRNA Interference$$034586 000000728 650__ $$aTyrosine Protein Kinase Inhibitors$$013842 000000728 650__ $$aReceptor Tyrosine Kinase-like Orphan Receptors$$038804 000000728 650__ $$aLeukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell$$028421 000000728 6531_ $$acellular signal transduction 000000728 6531_ $$acellular control mechanisms 000000728 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000728 692__ $$aDepartment of Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology$$041399 000000728 7001_ $$aBicocca, Vincent$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000728 7201_ $$aDruker, Brian$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000000728 8564_ $$907507fac-af7b-418e-9627-1f80ae5251db$$s3393514$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/728/files/731_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2522d872fc294d3f9fc227bf3e9163d47$$31 000000728 905__ $$a/rest/prod/4m/90/dv/51/4m90dv511 000000728 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:728$$pstudent-work 000000728 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
