The mammary myoepithelial cell.
Over the last few years, the discovery of basal-type mammary carcinomas and the association of the regenerative potential of the mammary epithelium with the basal myoepithelial cell population have attracted considerable attention to this second major mammary lineage. However, many questions concerning the role of basal myoepithelial cells in mammary morphogenesis, functional differentiation an...
متن کاملProgesterone and Wnt4 control mammary stem cells via myoepithelial crosstalk.
Ovarian hormones increase breast cancer risk by poorly understood mechanisms. We assess the role of progesterone on global stem cell function by serially transplanting mouse mammary epithelia. Progesterone receptor (PR) deletion severely reduces the regeneration capacity of the mammary epithelium. The PR target, receptor activator of Nf-κB ligand (RANKL), is not required for this function, and ...
متن کاملInducible and constitutive in vitro neutrophil chemokine expression by mammary epithelial and myoepithelial cells.
Previously, our laboratory showed that bovine and caprine mammary secretions are chemotactic and that chemoattractants found in these secretions are qualitatively different according to infection status and/or lactation stage. However, the cellular source of the chemoattractants has not been defined. In this study we used a modified Boyden chamber assay to examine the ability of previously esta...
متن کاملBiological relevance of oxytocin and oxytocin receptors in cancer cells and primary tumors.
For a long time, the hypothalamic nonapeptide oxytocin (OT) is known to play a crucial role in many reproductive and behavioral functions. In recent years, a new biological effect of OT has been identified in neoplastic pathology. In this context, OT acts as a growth regulator. through the activation of specific G-coupled transmembrane receptors (OTR). In vitro, an antiproliferative effect of O...
متن کاملDerivation of Myoepithelial Progenitor Cells from Bipotent Mammary Stem/Progenitor Cells
There is increasing evidence that breast and other cancers originate from and are maintained by a small fraction of stem/progenitor cells with self-renewal properties. Recent molecular profiling has identified six major subtypes of breast cancer: basal-like, ErbB2-overexpressing, normal breast epithelial-like, luminal A and B, and claudin-low subtypes. To help understand the relationship among ...
