Precocious Mammary Gland Development in P-Cadherin–deficient Mice
To investigate the functions of P-cadherin in vivo, we have mutated the gene encoding this cell adhesion receptor in mice. In contrast to E- and N-cadherin- deficient mice, mice homozygous for the P-cadherin mutation are viable. Although P-cadherin is expressed at high levels in the placenta, P-cadherin-null females are fertile. P-cadherin expression is localized to the myoepithelial cells surr...
متن کاملMammary Gland in Mice
Microvascular changes in the mammary gland in mice during pregnancy and lactation were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with a corrosion cast method, tvansmission e]eetron microscopy (TEM) and morphometry. By SEM, duct-associated capillary plexuses were sparsety distributed to branch into adipocytes during virgin period. With advance in pregnancy, both branches from the capMar...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve regeneration is delayed in neuropilin 2-deficient mice.
Peripheral nerve transection or crush induces expression of class 3 semaphorins by epineurial and perineurial cells at the injury site and of the neuropilins neuropilin-1 and neuropilin-2 by Schwann and perineurial cells in the nerve segment distal to the injury. Neuropilin-dependent class 3 semaphorin signaling guides axons during neural development, but the significance of this signaling syst...
متن کاملImpaired angiogenesis in aminopeptidase N-null mice.
Aminopeptidase N (APN, CD13; EC 3.4.11.2) is a transmembrane metalloprotease with several functions, depending on the cell type and tissue environment. In tumor vasculature, APN is overexpressed in the endothelium and promotes angiogenesis. However, there have been no reports of in vivo inactivation of the APN gene to validate these findings. Here we evaluated, by targeted disruption of the APN...
متن کاملWhole Mammary Gland Transplantation in Mice Protocol.
Whole Mammary Gland Transplantation involves transplanting an excised mammary gland into another, more suitable host. This method can be used to extend the life of a mammary gland past the mouse's life span by transplanting the mammary gland of an older mouse into a young healthy mouse. As you can see in the video below (Video 1), by attaching it to the abdomen of the mouse, the gland will rece...
