Mammary gland development: cross-species analysis of the mammary gland transcriptome in pregnant or lactating wild type female Sprague Dawley rats.

ABSTRACT: Cross-species hybridization analysis of mammary glands during pregnancy and lactation. Results provide insight into putative conserved molecular mechanisms regulating mammary gland development. This study was performed to identify orthologous transcripts that are differentially co-expressed in the mammary gland at 2 stages of development (pregnancy and lactation) in wild type Sprague-Dawley rats. Key points are examined in a time series of Sprague Dawley rat mammary gland development, secretory activation and lactation. Triplicate rat (three biological replicates) at each time point were used for statistical power totalling 12 individual arrays in this study. Rats were as staged pregnant day 1 the day that post coital plug was observed, and similarly, lactation day 1 was the first day afte
