Figure Lengend Snippet: a Schedule of oncogenic challenges for the induction of M/D-driven tumors and representative images of M/D-driven tumors established in WT C57BL/6 mice. Scale bar = 1 cm. b Tumor-free survival (TFS) and time-to-death (TTD) in WT C57BL/6 mice subjected to M/D-driven oncogenesis. Number of mice is reported. c Representative histology of M/D-driven tumors as compared to human HR + breast cancers. Scale bar = 50 µm. d Probeset distribution comparing the transcriptomic profile of 6 M/D-driven mammary tumors established in C57BL/6 mice with that of human breast cancers from the TCGA public database. Probability of molecular subtyping is reported for each mouse tumors. e , f TFS and overall survival (OS) of WT C57BL/6 mice and C57BL/6 bearing ER mutations that cause nuclear exclusion ( e ) or nuclear accumulation ( f ) subjected to M/D-driven oncogenesis. Number of mice, hazard ratio (HR) and p values (two-sided log-rank) are reported. g TFS and OS of WT C57BL/6 mice subjected to M/D-driven oncogenesis in control conditions or along with tamoxifen administration in the drinking water. Number of mice, HR and p values (two-sided log-rank) are reported. h . Non-supervised hierarchical clustering of the transcriptomic profile of M/D-driven tumors established in WT C57BL/6 mice ( n = 6), mammary glands exposed to M/D but not developing tumors ( n = 6) and M/D-naïve mammary glands ( n = 6). Gene Ontology analysis, fold change (FC) and adjusted, two-sided p values are reported. Red, upregulation. Yellow, downregulation. i Relative amount of CD3 + , CD8 + , CD4 + and CD25 + FOXP3 + cells infiltrating M/D-driven tumors in C57BL/6 mice vs syngeneic M/D-naïve mammary glands. Results are means ± SEM plus individual data points. Number of mice and p values (unpaired, two-sided Student’s t , as compared to M/D-naïve mammary glands) are reported.
Article Snippet: Gating procedure is exemplified in Supplementary Fig. . Alternatively, cells were stained with LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Yellow dye and Fc receptors were blocked as described above, then fixed in Cytofix/Cytoperm™ buffer after surface staining with anti-CD3-FITC (1:800, clone 17A2, #11-0032-82 from Thermo Fisher), anti-NK1.1-PerCP-Cy5.5 (1:100, clone PK136, #551114 from BD Biosciences), anti-B220-V450 (1:100, clone RA3-6B2, # 560473 from BD Biosciences) and anti-CD19-APC-Vio770 (1:50, clone REA749, #130-111-886 from Miltenyi).
