Identification of human triple-negative breast cancer subtypes and preclinical models for selection of targeted therapies. J Clin Invest. 2011;121(7):2750-67. This article describes the identification of six TNBC subtypes with unique gene expression: two basal-like (BL1 and BL2), an immunomodulatory (IM), a mesenchymal (M), a mesenchymal stem-like (MSL), and a luminal androgen receptor (LAR) subtype. Gene expression analysis enabled identification of TNBC cell line models representative of these subtypes, against which different targeted therapy was tested. This provided proof of concept that analysis of distinct gene-expression profiles can be used as the basis of therapy selection, which may be useful for assigning TNBC patients to more appropriate targeted therapy.
