Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Immunoblot for Stat5, Stat3, p-Stat5, and p-Stat3 with their respective loading control (Tubulin or β-actin) on endpoint mammary tumor lysates of MIC WT, MIC ESR1-Y541S homo , and MIC ESR1-D542G homo mice. ( B – E ) Quantification of immunoblot for Stat5, Stat3, p-Stat5, and p-Stat3 normalized to their loading control, respectively. ( F ) Fluorescent IHC for ERα, p-Stat5, p-Stat3, PanCK, and DAPI on endpoint mammary tumors of MIC WT, MIC ESR1-Y541S homo , and MIC ESR1-D542G homo mice. ( G – I ) Quantification of p-Stat5 + cells, ERα + p-Stat5 + PanCK + cells, and p-Stat3 + cells, respectively. ( J ) Stat5 enrichment on Il1b and Il17a promoter sites detected by ChIP-qPCR in endpoint mammary tumors of MIC WT, MIC ESR1-Y541S homo , and MIC ESR1-D542G homo mice. Scale bars: 100 μm. Mean ± SEM for data calculated using 1-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test.
