MCF7 and T47D cells with a doxycycline (DOX)-inducible Y537S or D538G (DOX-Y537S or DOX-D538G) mutation in ER (6 (link)), were grown in DMEM and RPMI, respectively [supplemented with 10% FBS, 10 μg/mL penicillin-streptomycin-glutamine (PSG), and 500 μg/mL Geneticin], hereafter referred to as full media (FM) conditions. DOX-inducible ER-mutant MCF7 and T47D cells (MCF7 DOX-Y537S, MCF7 DOX-D538G, and T47D DOX-Y537S) were treated with 1 μg/mL DOX in FM for 3 days to induce the expression of the mutation and subsequently maintained in phenol-red-free DMEM or RPMI supplemented with 10% charcoal-stripped FBS, PSG, and Geneticin, hereafter referred to as HD conditions. MCF7 cells with a stable TALEN knock-in Y537S (KI-Y537S) or D538G (KI-D538G) ER mutation (6 (link)) were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and PSG. Palbociclib-sensitive (PalboS) and palbociclib-resistant (PalboR) T47D cells (23 (link)) and MCF7 cells (24 (link)) were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and PSG, with or without palbociclib 100 nmol/L for the PalboS cells, and with palbociclib 1 μmol/L for the PalboR cells. Cells were authenticated by short tandem repeat profiling (Bio-Synthesis) and regularly tested for Mycoplasma contamination using the MycoAlert Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
