Urokinase-type plasminogen activator expression is induced in the mouse mammary gland during development
The mammary gland undergoes extensive, but finely controlled tissue remodeling throughout its growth and development. During post-pubertal maturation of the ductal tree, a variety of proteinases, growth factors and integrins are expressed in a well-regulated spatial and temporal pattern (Ossowski et al., 1979; Busso et al., 1989; Robinson et al., 1991; ColemanKmacik and Rosen, 1994; Witty et al...
متن کاملLactational competence and involution of the mouse mammary gland require plasminogen.
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator expression is induced in the mouse mammary gland during development and post-lactational involution. We now show that primiparous plasminogen-deficient (Plg(-/-)) mice have seriously compromised mammary gland development and involution. All mammary glands were underdeveloped and one-quarter of the mice failed to lactate. Although the glands from lactating Pl...
متن کاملHumanization of the mouse mammary gland.
Although mouse models have provided invaluable information on the mechanisms of mammary gland development, anatomical and developmental differences between human and mice limit full understanding of this fundamental process. Humanization of the mouse mammary gland by injecting immortalized human breast stromal cells into the cleared murine mammary fat pad enables the growth and development of h...
متن کاملNeuropilin-2 promotes branching morphogenesis in the mouse mammary gland.
Although the neuropilins were characterized as semaphorin receptors that regulate axon guidance, they also function as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors and contribute to the development of other tissues. Here, we assessed the role of NRP2 in mouse mammary gland development based on our observation that NRP2 is expressed preferentially in the terminal end buds of developing gl...
متن کاملReprogramming human cancer cells in the mouse mammary gland.
The tissue microenvironment directs stem/progenitor cell behavior. Cancer cells are also influenced by the microenvironment. It has been shown that, when placed into blastocysts, cancer cells respond to embryonic cues and differentiate according to the tissue type encountered during ontological development. Previously, we showed that the mouse mammary gland was capable of redirecting adult mous...
