Protein Tyrosine Kinase 6 Regulates UVB Induced Signaling and Tumorigenesis in Mouse Skin
Protein tyrosine kinase 6 (PTK6, also called BRK) is an intracellular tyrosine kinase expressed in the epithelial linings of the gastrointestinal tract and the skin, where it is expressed in nondividing differentiated cells. We found that PTK6 expression increases in the epidermis following UVB treatment. To evaluate the roles of PTK6 in the skin following UVB-induced damage, we exposed back sk...
متن کاملG protein-coupled estrogen receptor regulates mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis.
UNLABELLED The role of 17β-estradiol (E2) in breast cancer development and tumor growth has traditionally been attributed exclusively to the activation of estrogen receptor-α (ERα). Although targeted inhibition of ERα is a successful approach for patients with ERα(+) breast cancer, many patients fail to respond or become resistant to anti-estrogen therapy. The discovery of the G protein-coupled...
متن کاملEvaluation of mammary gland development and function in mouse models.
The human mammary gland is composed of 15-20 lobes that secrete milk into a branching duct system opening at the nipple. Those lobes are themselves composed of a number of terminal duct lobular units made of secretory alveoli and converging ducts. In mice, a similar architecture is observed at pregnancy in which ducts and alveoli are interspersed within the connective tissue stroma. The mouse m...
متن کاملThe preneoplastic state in mouse mammary tumorigenesis.
It is widely accepted that neoplasms in epithelial organs arise via multiple intermediate stages (1—3). This concept has been extensively developed over the past 30 years and is based upon both clinical and experimental observations in practically all major epithelial organs. The intermediate stages have been labeled with various terms, although the terms preneoplastic or premalignant have been...
متن کاملDietary Walnut Suppressed Mammary Gland Tumorigenesis in the C(3)1 TAg Mouse
Walnuts contain multiple ingredients that, individually, have been shown to slow cancer growth, including omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and phytosterols. In previous research, consumption of walnuts has slowed the growth of implanted breast cancers. We wanted to determine whether regular walnut consumption might reduce the risk for developing cancer. Homozygous male C(3)1 TAg mice were bre...
