Canine Mammary Gland Cancer Stem Cell and its Potential Role in Malignant Biologic Behavior
BACKGROUND:Canine mammary gland cancers are the most prevalent malignancies in dogs. There are different challenges regarding management of these cancers in dogs and human, one hypothesis is related to small cellular subset of tumor mass called cancer stem cell. These cells are therapy resistant and cause metastasis and relapse even after primary successful treatment. The well-identified phenot...
متن کاملCell-matrix interactions in mammary gland development and breast cancer.
The mammary gland is an organ that at once gives life to the young, but at the same time poses one of the greatest threats to the mother. Understanding how the tissue develops and functions is of pressing importance in determining how its control mechanisms break down in breast cancer. Here we argue that the interactions between mammary epithelial cells and their extracellular matrix (ECM) are ...
متن کاملCell-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 کاملOccluding junctions and cell behavior in primary cultures of normal and neoplastic mammary gland cells
Cells dissociated from normal prelactating mouse mammary glands or from spontaneous mammary adenocarcinomas, when grown at high density on an impermeable substrate, form nonproliferating, confluent, epithelial pavements in which turgid, blister-like domes appear as a result of fluid accumulation beneath the cell layer. To compare the structure of the fluid-segregating cell associations in norma...
متن کاملCell proliferation in the normal mouse mammary gland and inhibition by phenylbutyrate.
Ovarian hormones have a pivotal role in the control of proliferation in the mammary gland, and cumulative life-time exposure to ovarian hormones is known to be a determinant of breast cancer risk. We have shown previously that a p.o.-active, long-acting butyrate analogue, sodium phenylbutyrate (PB), reduced proliferation in normal and malignant human breast cells in culture and reduced expressi...
