PPAR signaling exacerbates mammary gland tumor development
Breast cancer cell lines that express the nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR ) can be prompted to undergo growth arrest and differentiation when treated with synthetic PPAR ligands. To evaluate the therapeutic potential of increased PPAR signaling in vivo, we generated transgenic mice that express a constitutively active form of PPAR in mammary gland. These mice are indist...
متن کاملExosome signaling in mammary gland development and cancer.
Exosomes are 40-100 nm intraluminal vesicles that are released by cells upon fusion of multivesicular endosomes (MVEs) with the plasma membrane. The Rab family of small GTPases, including Rab27A and Rab27B, control different steps of exosome release, including transport of MVEs and docking at the plasma membrane. Exosomes are long range message particles that mediate communication between cells...
متن کاملMammary gland development and cancer.
The mammary gland is a complex organ that begins development early in gestation and constantly changes in size, shape and function from the time of puberty to menopause. The earliest stages of embryogenesis appear to be independent of steroid hormones, whereas after the 15th week breast structure is largely influenced by a variety of hormones. In most females, further breast development begins ...
متن کاملCanonical WNT signaling promotes mammary placode development and is essential for initiation of mammary gland morphogenesis.
Mammary glands, like other skin appendages such as hair follicles and teeth, develop from the surface epithelium and underlying mesenchyme; however, the molecular controls of embryonic mammary development are largely unknown. We find that activation of the canonical WNT/beta-catenin signaling pathway in the embryonic mouse mammary region coincides with initiation of mammary morphogenesis, and t...
متن کاملInhibition of insulin-like growth factor signaling pathways in mammary gland by pure antiestrogen ICI 182,780.
The antiestrogens ICI 182,780 (ICI) and tamoxifen are clinically useful in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast tumors. We assessed the in vivo effects of ICI, tamoxifen, and estradiol on the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathway in the rat mammary gland. ICI significantly decreased the size of the lobular structures, Ki-67 labeling index, and insulin-like growth fact...
