Effect of MR and RAR signalling on breast cancer cell proliferation. The meta-PCNA genes which are the top 1% of genes most highly correlated with the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a well-known proliferation marker is used to calculate the meta-PCNA index which is defined as the median expression of meta-PCNA genes. a PCNA index as a proliferation measure for MR-inducible cells under different treatment conditions. Here, Dox is used to induce MR; therefore, Dox alone is equivalent to vehicle treatment of MR containing cells. P values are based on paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test of the expression of meta-PCNA genes for each treatment comparison of interest. b Expression of meta-PCNA genes under different treatment conditions of MR-inducible MCF-7 breast cancer cells
