We further examined the expression of WNT3A, WNT5A, and WNT5B in the indicated cell lines at both the mRNA and protein levels, and found that WNT3A was also not expressed in in breast cancer cell lines, while WNT5A and WNT5B were preferentially expressed in BLBC cell lines (Fig. 4b) (note: normal breast cell lines HBL-100 and MCF-10A also belong to the basal-like type [22]). The gene discussed is WNT3A; the disease is breast carcinoma.
