Human breast cancer cell lines MCF10A, MDA-MB-468 (MDA-468), BT20, and MDA-MB-231 (MDA-231) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA) and cultured as instructed. Bone-metastatic MDA-MB-231BoM (231-BoM), and brain-metastatic MDA-MB-231BrM (231-BrM) cell lines are from the Massagué laboratory and were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin [43 (link), 44 (link)]. Trastuzumab-resistant BT474 (BT474-TtzmR) were a kind gift from Dr. Dihua Yu [45 (link)]. All cell lines have been authenticated using the standard method, and tested for mycoplasma. If tested positive for mycoplasma contamination, cells were treated until free of contamination before use. Pacritinib, ruxolitinib, sonidegib, and vismodegib were obtained from AdooQ Bioscience (Irvine, CA, USA) and stock solutions were prepared using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for administration in cell culture.
