To investigate whether Notch1 activation in our SB tumours also contributes to TNBC formation, we conducted IHC staining for ER, PR and Her2, The data demonstrated that 74.24% (49/66) of ICN1-driven SB tumours were TNBC (Supplementary Fig. 9a), which was much higher than the average percentage of BrWSB (57%) and BrW control (50%) tumours (Fig. 1e). This evidence concerns the gene ERBB2 and neoplasm.
