a Immunoblot analysis of CDK12 expression in MCF10A cells stably transfected with CDK12 (CDK12-OE) or empty vector control (EV), and in CDK12-amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Vinculin (Vinc.), loading control. b Growth kinetics of CDK12-OE vs. EV MCF10A cells in 2-D culture. Data are means ± SEM (n = 3). **P = 0.002, ***P < 0.001, two-sided unpaired t-test. c Typical morphological appearance of 3D-acini generated by CDK12-OE vs. EV MCF10A cells cultivated in Matrigel for 18 days. Left panels in each condition are magnified on the right to better show the hollowed vs. filled/disorganized/branched structures of EV vs. CDK12-OE MCF10A cells, respectively. Bar, 100 μm. d Quantitation of the experiment in (c). Data are means ± SD (n = 5). ***P < 0.001, two-sided unpaired t-test.
