Fig. 7

a Graphic illustration of the changes in mRNA expression of genes defining mammary epithelial cell lineages after the suppression of oncogenic KRAS in claudin-low mammary tumor cells. b Immunoblot analysis to validate the upregulation of the luminal epithelial lineage and progenitor markers CD61 and GATA3 following Dox-mediated suppression of oncogenic KRAS for 72 h in three independent cell lines (N = 3 biological replicates). GAPDH was used as a loading control. c Flow cytometric analysis of CD24, CD49f, and CD61 in claudin-low mammary tumor cells before and after Dox-mediated suppression of oncogenic KRAS for 72 h. d Immunoblot analysis of E-cadherin and N-cadherin, SLUG, and SNAIL (N = 3 biological replicates for each treatment group). e Immunoblot analysis to assess changes in E-cadherin expression following shRNA-mediated knockdown of SLUG and Dox-mediated suppression of oncogenic KRAS (N = 3 biological replicates).
