Extended Data Figure 7. Both sorted basal and sorted luminal cell populations are required to reconstitute biclonal tumors.

Extended Data Figure 7

Chimeric tumor relapses generated by injecting iWnt/mRFP+ tumor cells onto cWnt rescue hosts were resolved into their component basal (mRFP+/HRasmut/Wnt1low) and luminal (mRFP/HRaswt/Wnt1high) cell subsets by FACS. Each sorted population was injected separately (105 basal cells/injection or 105 luminal cells/injection) or as a 1:1 admixture (5×104 basal cells + 5×104 luminal cells/injection) onto wild-type, Dox-naïve hosts. All reconstituted tumors faithfully recapitulated the biclonal configuration of the source tumor. Depicted are FACS plots from parental and reconstituted tumors showing both mRFP+ and mRFP subclonal populations. Colors indicate events within the basal (blue; CD49fHigh/EpCAMlow) and luminal (green; CD49fLow/EpCAMhigh) gates. Percentages depict mean +/− SEM for n = 5 clonally related parental tumor outgrowths and n = 11 tumor outgrowths reconstituted from injection of admixed cells.
