Although the mRNA expression of both genes was not significantly different regardless of ERE transcriptional activity when all ER-protein-positive tumors were examined (Fig. 4B and C), subclassification of Luminal-type breast tumors into low- and high-ERE-activity revealed that these two groups had different correlation tendencies between ERα, FOXA1, and GATA3 mRNA expression levels and ER target genes. This evidence concerns the gene FOXA1 and breast neoplasm.
