In contrast, in five
luminal breast cell lines, MELK knockdown with equivalent efficiency did
not result in obvious inhibition on cell growth (Figure 5E, Figure 5 — figure supplement 1A, B).
It could be that the degree of knockdown of MELK in the
luminal cell lines did
not go below a necessary threshold to cause a proliferation effect.
Our bioinformatics analysis, based on multiple independent large - size cohorts shows that MELK is strongly overexpessed in BBC / TNBC,
not only compared to normal breast tissues, but also compared to
luminal or ER / PR + breast cancer.
