Transformed nodule and ductal mammary cells were recovered by cell dissociation and transplantation of mammary cells from C57BL/Crgl mice treated with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene. Four-week-old mice were divided into the following groups: Group A, not treated; Group B, 2 pituitary isografts under the kidney capsule; Group C, 1.0 mg 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene intragastrically at 5 and 6 w...

A conditional null mutation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-binding protein (PBP) gene was generated to understand its role in mammary gland development. PBP-deficient mammary glands exhibited retarded ductal elongation during puberty, and decreased alveolar density during pregnancy and lactation. PBP-deficient mammary glands could not produce milk to nurse pups during lactation. ...

primary breast sarcoma is a rare disease of the breast that comprises a heterogeneous group of malignant mesenchymal neoplasms, including angiosarcoma, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, sarcomas with bone and cartilage, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. yet the exact incidence of primary breast sarcoma has not been reported, but it approximately accounts for less than 1% of all breas...

TLE1 is a Groucho-related transcriptional repressor protein that exerts survival and antiapoptotic function in several cellular systems and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer. In the present study, we found that TLE1 is a regulator of anoikis in normal mammary epithelial and breast carcinoma cells. The induction of apoptosis following loss of cell attachment to the extracellular ...

Abstract Aims Paget’s disease of the nipple (PDN) is a rare type cancer nipple-areola complex. We examined GATA3 protein expression in PDN to determine its potential value as an adjunct marker differential diagnosis with other lesions. Methods and results Chart review documented clinicopathological data. H&E slides were re-evaluated immunohistochemistry (IHC) for was performed. Amongst 3614...

The expression of mammary ductal dysplasia has been shown to be enhanced in mammary outgrowths derived from enzymatically dissociated mammary cells and influenced by the number of cells used to derive the outgrowths. The present study was designed to examine this cell dose effect further and to determine if the developmental state of the outgrowths or the time between carcinogen administration ...

BACKGROUND Metaplastic breast carcinoma is a rare aggressive malignant neoplasm. The purposes of this study are to review the pathologic features and clinical outcomes of metaplastic breast carcinoma compared to invasive ductal carcinoma and to evaluate the prognosis of metaplastic breast carcinoma. METHODS The cases of 55 patients with metaplastic breast carcinoma presenting between 1991 and...

A transplantable model of human ductal carcinoma in situ that progresses to invasive carcinoma was developed from a genetically engineered mouse (GEM). Additional lines were established using early mammary premalignant lesions from transgenic MMTV-PyV-mT mice. These lines were verified to be premalignant and transplanted repeatedly to establish stable and predictable properties. Here, we report...
