The generation of p18-/-, p18+/-, p18-/-;Brca1MGKO (p18-/-;Brca1f/f;MMTV-Cre or p18-/-;Brca1f/-;MMTV-Cre), p18-/-;Brca1+/-, p18+/-;Brca1+/-, GATA3f/f, GATA3+/-, p18+/-;GATA3+/-, and p18-/-;GATA3+/- mice has been previously described 7 (link), 15 (link), 20 (link), 48 (link). The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of Miami and Shenzhen University approved all animal procedures. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were performed as previously described 7 (link), 15 (link), 20 (link). The primary antibodies used were: BRCA1, E-cadherin (E-Cad), Vimentin (Vim), FRA1 (Cell Signaling), Fibronectin (Fn), TWIST, DNA Methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) (Abcam), CD29, GATA3 (Santa Cruz). Immunocomplexes were detected using the Vectastain ABC DAB kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Vector Laboratories). The positive results of IHC were quantified by H-score, as previously described 49 (link), 50 (link).
