We next investigated whether EB1 regulates paclitaxel sensitivity in cell lines that represent different types of breast cancer, including the estrogen receptor (ER)-positive cell line MCF7, the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive cell line SKBR3, and the triple-negative cell line MDA-MB-231 (Neve et al., 2006). This evidence concerns the gene ESR1 and breast cancer.
