*p < 0.01 compared to wild-type GATA3; **p < 0.005 compared to control

aProliferation and invasion for WT and mutant GATA3 constructs were expressed as fold change with respect to control transfection with pcDNA3.1 alone. Mean ± standard error of the mean (n = number of experiments) are shown

bThe T47D and MCF-7 are ER-positive breast cancer cell lines; the MCF-7 cells have a GATA3 mutation, D336fs, whereas the T47D cells do not have any GATA3 abnormalities

cControl DNA (pcDNA3.1), WT – wild-type GATA3, and mutant GATA3 ( m1, m2, and m5 mutations—Table 1) constructs
