Statistically significant changes in HER2 signaling pathway activity between the xenograft and 2D cultures were also observed in MCF7 HER2-negative, ER-positive breast cancer cell line and in the MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T triple negative breast cancer cell lines (GEO Series accession number GSE47583 for MCF7 and GSE36953 for MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T cell lines). Here, ERBB2 is linked to breast carcinoma.
