2 SUPPLEMENTAL TABLES AND FIGURE LEGENDS. Table S1. Characteristics of the study samples from tumor patients. Table S2. Characteristics of the study samples from lung tumor patients. Table S3. Characteristics of the study samples from melanoma patients. Figure S1. ME2 expression in solid tumor samples. Human cancer tissues lysed in RIPA buffer were purchased from Protein Biotechnologies and analyzed for ME2 and β-tubulin expression by Western blotting. Equal amounts of protein were loaded. A549 was used as a positive control and loaded in each membrane. The full-length blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S19. Figure S2. ME2 expression in lung cancer and the effects on Normal lung primaery, breast cancer and melanoma cell proliferation of independent shrnas targeting ME2. a, Human lung cancer tissues lysed in RIPA buffer were purchased from Protein Biotechnologies and analyzed for ME2 and β-tubulin expression by Western blotting. Equal amounts of protein were loaded. The blots showed here are from two different gels that have been run under the same experiment conditions and exposed on the same film. The full-length blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S20. b, Paired normal and tumor lung tissues from the same patient were analyzed for ME2, cyclophilin B and β- tubulin expression. Equal amounts of protein were loaded and the non-specific bands were used to show the similar loading. The full-length blots are presented in

3 Supplemental Figure S21. c, A representative image from the tissue array stained with ME2 antibody. d, Knockdown of ME2 in normal lung primary cells. Western blot analysis using an ME2 antibody of lysate from pools of normal lung primary epithelial cells transduced with two independent ME2 shrna lentiviruses, following 5 days growth without any selection. Data are representative of two independent experiments. The fulllength blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S22. e, The effects of knockdown of ME2 on cell death in normal lung primary cells. f, Western blot analysis using an ME2 antibody of lysate from pools of MCF-7 cells transduced with three independent ME2 shrna lentiviruses, following selection of puromycin for 10 days. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments. All three pools showed marked ME2 silencing. The full-length blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S23. g, Cell proliferation in MCF-7 cells transduced with the indicated shrna lentiviral constructs as described in f. Data are representative of three independent experiments. h, Western blot analysis using an ME2 antibody of lysate from pools of WM983B cells transduced with three independent ME2 shrna lentiviruses, following selection of puromycin for 10 days. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments. The full-length blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S24. i, Cell proliferation in WM983B cells transduced with the indicated shrna lentiviral constructs as described in h. Data are representative of three independent experiments. j, Western blot analysis using an ME2 antibody of lysate from pool of WM852 cells transduced with ME2 shrna lentiviruses, following selection of puromycin for 10 days. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments. The full-length blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S25.

Tissue array analysis of ME2 expression in 8 types of human solid tumors. Figure S4. ME2 expression in human melanoma analyzed by tissue array and Western blot. a, Tissue array analysis of ME2 expression. b, ME2 levels in 3-paired primary and metastatic melanoma cell lines (primary melanoma cell lines from same patient). The full-length blots are presented in Supplemental Figure S26. Figure S5. DMM selectively kills tumor cells. a, DMM treatment induces ROS production in both normal and tumor lung cells. ROS was detected by flow cytometry using CM-H 2 DCFDA. b, DMM selectively kills lung tumor cells compared to normal lung epithelial cells and normal human fibroblasts. Cell death in A549 cells was analyzed by Annexin V reagent. Each histogram is representative of three experiments. Figure S6. DMM synergistically inhibits cisplatin-treated tumor growth. a, Cisplatin (CP) and DMM combination treatment synergistically inhibits A549 tumor growth. Approximately 5 x 10 6 control plko cells were subcutaneously implanted into female athymic nude mice and treated with DMM, cisplatin or DMM/cisplatin combination as described in Materials and Methods. Tumor sizes were measured and calculated. b, Direct injection of DMM into xenograft tumors causes tumor shrinkage and ulceration. c,
