Transcription profiling of mammary tissue from ovariectomized mice previously treated with progesterone for 4, 16, 28, and 76 hours

ABSTRACT: Beyond demonstrating a critical role for progesterone receptor signaling in normal mammary epithelial proliferation, the progesterone receptor knockout mouse disclosed the progesterone receptor along with its effector pathways as key determinants of mammary neoplastic progression. Despite these advances, however, further progress in our mechanistic understanding of progesteroneâ??s involvement in mammary morphogenesis and tumorigenesis is contingent upon defining the essential effector pathways responsible for transducing the progesterone signal into a mammary proliferative and/or pro-survival response. Toward this goal, a judiciously chosen acute progesterone treatment regimen together with microarray methods was applied to the mammary gland of the normal mouse to uncover new effectors that operate immediately downstream of the progesterone mammary signal. Examination of the resultant progesterone-responsive transcriptome disclosed â??inhibitor of differentiation or DNA binding 4â?? (Id4) as a molecular target acutely induced by progesterone in the murine mammary epithelium. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analysis was performed on mammary tissue total RNA obtained from ovariectomized mice previously treated with progesterone for 4, 16, 28, and 76 hours. For each hormone treatment time-point, mammary gland microarray data from sesame oil (vehicle) treated mice was included as controls. Total mammary gland RNA from each time-point and treatment group was interrogated using the Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array. For a given time-point and treatment group, three sets of mice (5 mice in each set) were used for gene expression profiling; mammary RNA pooled from each set was hybridized to one microarray chip. Therefore, a total of 15 mice (or 3 microarray chips) were used per time-point and treatment group.

Project description:The present experiments were performed to determine the roles of estrogen receptors M-NM-1 and M-NM-2 (ERM-NM-1 and ERM-NM-2) in normal and neoplastic development in the mouse mammary gland. In wild-type mice, in vivo administration of estradiol (E) + progesterone (P) stimulated mammary ductal growth and alveolar differentiation. Mammary glands from mice in which the ERM-NM-2 gene has been deleted (M-NM-2ERKO mice) demonstrated normal ductal growth and differentiation in response to E + P. By contrast, mammary glands from mice in which the ERM-NM-1 gene has been deleted (M-NM-1ERKO mice) demonstrated only rudimentary ductal structures that did not differentiate in response to E + P. EGF demonstrates estrogen-like activity in the mammary glands of M-NM-1ERKO mice: treatment of M-NM-1ERKO mice with EGF + P (without E) supported normal mammary gland development, induced expression of progesterone receptor (PR), and increased levels of G- protein-coupled receptor (GPR30) protein. Mammary gland development in M-NM-2ERKO mice treated with EGF + P was comparable to that of wild-type mice receiving EGF + P; EGF had no statistically significant effects on the induction of PR or expression of GPR30 in mammary glands harvested from either wild-type mice or M-NM-2ERKO mice. In vitro exposure of mammary glands to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced preneoplastic mammary alveolar lesions (MAL) in glands from wild-type mice and M-NM-2ERKO mice, but failed to induce MAL in mammary glands from M-NM-1ERKO mice. Microarray analysis of DMBA-treated mammary glands identified 28 functional pathways whose expression was significantly different in M-NM-1ERKO mice versus both M-NM-2ERKO and wild-type mice; key functions that were differentially expressed in M-NM-1ERKO mice included cell division, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. The data demonstrate distinct roles for ERM-NM-1 and ERM-NM-2 in normal and neoplastic development in the mouse mammary gland, and suggest that EGF can mimic the ERM-NM-1-mediated effects of E in this organ.
