The studied cross-talk with the CD44⁺CD24^-/low in TNBC cells.

First author, year	Studied factor	Studied cross-talk with the desired factor	Effect on TNBC cells
Min Hye Jang, ( 33 )	CD44+CD24-/low	Compared to TNBC cells without CD44+CD24-/low, it is associated with E-cadherin loss, upregulated CD146, and overexpressed vimentin.	It can promote the EMT process.
Yan−Xi Liu, ( 27 )	CD44+CD24-/low	Compared to AR+ TNBC, it is associated with increased Ki-67, E-cadherin loss, upregulated vimentin, and decreased claudin3/4/7.	It can promote metastasis.

E-cadherin, epithelial cadherin; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; and EMT, epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
