  1. *mRNA levels were normalized to β-actin levels in the respective samples and then expressed as fold changes relative to that of the wild-type (WT) breasts, which is assigned as an arbitrary unit of 1. Data are mean (SD): P <0.05 (n = 4 for each group). FGFR, fibroblast growth factor receptor; KO, FGFR4 knockout mice; Tg, MMTV-TGFα transgenic mice; KO-Tg, FGFR4−/−: MMTV-TGFα bigenic mice.
