Cell-cell interactions promote mammary epithelial cell differentiation
Mammary epithelium differentiates in a stromal milieu of adipocytes and fibroblasts. To investigate cell-cell interactions that may influence mammary epithelial cell differentiation, we developed a co-culture system of murine mammary epithelium and adipocytes and other fibroblasts. Insofar as caseins are specific molecular markers of mammary epithelial differentiation, rat anti-mouse casein mon...
متن کاملInhibins and activins regulate mammary epithelial cell differentiation through mesenchymal-epithelial interactions.
Inhibins and activins are members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) family. Female mice in which both alleles encoding the inhibin betaB subunit have been deleted are unable to nurse their pups. We have now identified a cause of lactation failure in these mice. Ductal elongation and alveolar morphogenesis are retarded. During puberty and pregnancy, ductal outgrowth and alveolar d...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell into Insulin-Secreting Cell
Purpose: Differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into Insulin secreting endocrine cells. Materials and Methods: In this study, Royan B1 mouse embryonic stem cell (derived from C57BL/6 mouse) were used. In directed differentiation method, embryonicstem cells after embryoid bodies formation were differentiated into insulin secreting cells. Nestin positive cells were obtained after culture ...
متن کاملFibronectin expression modulates mammary epithelial cell proliferation during acinar differentiation.
The mammary gland consists of a polarized epithelium surrounded by a basement membrane matrix that forms a series of branching ducts ending in hollow, sphere-like acini. Essential roles for the epithelial basement membrane during acinar differentiation, in particular laminin and its integrin receptors, have been identified using mammary epithelial cells cultured on a reconstituted basement memb...
متن کاملECM-induced gap junctional communication enhances mammary epithelial cell differentiation.
The relationship between gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) and mammary cell (CID-9) differentiation in vitro was explored. CID-9 cells differentiate and express beta-casein in an extracellular matrix (ECM)- and hormone-dependent manner. In response to interaction with the ECM, cells in culture modulated the expression of their gap junction proteins at the transcriptional and pos...
