Figure 3

(A) SUM159, MDA, SCP2, and MCF7 cells are treated with 100 nM of the CDK4 inhibitor palbociclib for 48 hours. Total cell number was calculated and quantified (upper panel). Total cell lysates were then subjected to immunoblotting using p-RB and β-tubulin antibodies (bottom panel). (B) Gene expression of CD44, CD24, or CDK4 was analyzed in different breast cancer subtypes, including triple-negative (TN), HER2 positive (HER2+), and hormone receptor positive (HR) in 51 breast cancer cell lines, using GOBO gene set analysis. (C,D) SUM159, MDA, and MCF7 cells were treated with or without palbociclib for 2 days, labeled with an anti-CD44 conjugated to APC antibody and with an anti-CD24 conjugated to PE antibody and analyzed by flow cytometry. Percentages of the different CD44+/−/CD24+/− subpopulations were graphed and quantified using flowJ.
