We previously identified in TNBC cell cultures that expression of epigenetic reader methyl‐CpG‐binding domain protein 2 (MBD2), specifically the alternative mRNA splicing variant MBD variant 2 (MBD2_v2), is dependent on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is crucial for maintenance and expansion of cancer stem cell‐like cells (CSCs). This evidence concerns the gene MBD2 and cancer.
