Figure Lengend Snippet: PAFAH1B1 silencing selectively reduces TNBC cell growth. A , TNBC cell lines MDA-MB-231, HCC38, and BT549 were transfected with either non-silencing control siRNA (siNS) or siRNA targeting PAFAH1B1 , and live cells were counted after 5 days using trypan blue exclusion or quantified using crystal violet staining. B , non-malignant breast cancer cell lines, MCF10A and MCF12A, were transfected and growth quantified after 5 days as in panel ( A ). Western blotting was performed at day 5 to confirm PAFAH1B1 silencing was maintained until the endpoint of the experiment. For all data, n = 3, points are technical replicates for each biological replicate, bars are means ± SD. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001 by unpaired two-tailed t test.

Article Snippet: MDA-MB-231, HCC38, BT549, MCF10A, and MCF12A cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA).
