We employed the MNU-rat model because it is perhaps the most standard ER+ model of breast cancer and was employed in the development of SERMs (tamoxifen, raloxifene, toremifene) and aromatase inhibitors (letrozole, vorozole), which are indeed the standard prevention and treatment modalities for ER+ breast cancer in humans [10]. The gene discussed is ESR1; the disease is breast carcinoma.
