Identifying dormant Nfatc1-marked stem/progenitor cells as an important contributor for mammary lobuloalveoli formation

ABSTRACT: The Mammary gland undergoes complicated epithelial remodeling to form lobuloalveoli during pregnancy, in which basal epithelial cells remarkably increase to form a basket-like architecture. However, it remains largely unknown how dormant mammary basal stem/progenitor cells involve in lobuloalveolar development. Here, we show that Nfatc1 expression marks a rare population of mammary epithelial cells with the majority being basal epithelial cells. Nfatc1 reporter-marked basal epithelial cells are relatively dormant mammary stem/progenitor cells. Although Nfatc1 reporter-marked basal epithelial cells show limited contribution to the homeostasis of mammary epithelium, they divide rapidly during pregnancy and contribute to lobuloalveolar development. Furthermore, Nfatc1 reporter-marked basal epithelial cells are preferentially used for multiple pregnancies. Using single-cell RNA-seq analysis, we identify multiple functionally distinct clusters within the Nfatc1 reporter-marked cell-derived progeny cells during pregnancy. Taken together, our findings underscore Nfatc1 reporter-marked basal cells as dormant stem/progenitor cells that contribute to mammary lobuloalveolar development during pregnancy.

EHF is an essential driver of mammary alveolar lineage differentiation and putative suppressor of breast tumorigenesis

Project description:The Ets homologous factor (Ehf) is highly expressed in the mammary gland in pregnancy and lactation. Mothers with Ehf deletion fail to lactate due to impaired lobuloalveolar development. scRNA-seq profiling of mammary epithelial cells (MECs) at late pregnancy (18.5dP) demonstrated that EhfKO mammary gland comprised fewer differentiated alveolar cells, and an accumulation of the preceding cell populations in the secretory differentiation hierarchy. EhfKO mammary alveolar cells also displayed significant downregulation of milk proteins and lipids, and increased expression of proliferation markers indicating incomplete differentiation

Gene expression data from mouse hormone receptor positive mammary epithelial cells during early pregnancy

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify transcriptional changes in hormone receptor positive (HR+) cells during the dynamic morphogenesis in mammary epithelium during early pregnancy. HR+ cells translate the systemic hormonal signals that indicate pregnancy into local instructions for the generation of alveoli (milk-producing units). We previously found that IGF-2 is produced by HR+ cells, but this is only detectable in early pregnancy and not in virgin animals. This data set was generated to charachterize what other genes become expressed in HR+ cells specifically during a time of active proliferation and cellular communication. The gene expression profile at 3 days of pregnancy shows a marked upregulation of genes involved in cell division. By the 7th day of pregnancy the HR+ cells induce expression of several secreted molecules. Taken together with EdU incorporation analysis, we find that HR+ cells first undergo an expansion phase and subsequently express paracrine stimulators of alveolar and basal mammary epithelial cells during early pregnancy.

microRNA expression during ovine adult mammary gland development

Project description:The mammary gland undergoes extensive remodeling between the begin- ning of pregnancy and lactation; this involves cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, all of which are under the control of numerous regulators. To unravel the role played by miRNA, we describe here 47 new ovine miRNA cloned from mammary gland in early pregnancy displaying strong similari- ties with those already identified in the cow, human, or mouse. A microarray study of miRNA variations in the adult ovine mammary gland during pregnancy and lactation showed that 100 miRNA are regulated according to three principal patterns of expression: a de- crease in early pregnancy, a peak at midpregnancy, or an increase throughout late pregnancy and lactation. One miRNA displaying each pattern (miR-21, miR-205, and miR-200b) was analyzed by qRT- PCR. Variations in expression were confirmed for all three miRNA. Using in situ hybridization, we detected both miR-21 and miR-200 in luminal mammary epithelial cells when expressed, whereas miR-205 was expressed in basal cells during the first half of pregnancy and then in luminal cells during the second half. We therefore conclude that miR-21 is strongly expressed in the luminal cells of the normal mammary gland during early pregnancy when extensive cell prolif- eration occurs. In addition, we show that miR-205 and miR-200 are coexpressed in luminal cells, but only during the second half of pregnancy. These two miRNA may cooperate to maintain epithelial status by repressing an EMT-like program, to achieve and preserve the secretory phenotype of mammary epithelial cells. 5 samples for sheep and 5 samples for mouse

Transcriptome analysis of basal and luminal cells treatment with baicalin

Project description:Baicalin is the main flavonoid component extracted from Scutellaria root. It has multiple potent biological activities, including estrogen-like activity. In our study, we investigated the function of baicalin on mammary stem cell proliferation and mammary development. Our results demonstrated that baicalin significantly accelerates mammary gland development at puberty and during pregnancy; In vitro, baicalin significantly promotes colony formation ability of mammary basal epithelial cells in a three-dimensional (3D) culture system; In vivo, baicalin improved mammary regeneration efficiency in mouse xenograft model. But the mechanism was unknown. Therefore, transcriptome analysis of basal and luminal cells treatment with baicalin was performed.

Microarray expression profiling of distinct subsets of mouse mammary epithelial cells

Project description:The purpose of this microarray experiment was to obtain reference gene expression patterns of a number of epithelial cell populations [mammary stem cells (MASC), luminal progenitors (LP), alveolar luminal stem/progenitor cells (WC virgin-these are mammary epithelial cells genetically marked by Wap-Cre in virgin females), mature luminal cells (ML, mainly represent ductal luminal cells in virgin females), and alveolar luminal cells (WC preg M-bM-^@M-^S these are alveolar cells genetically marked by Wap-Cre during mid-gestation)] present in the mammary gland of wildtype adult mice on a C57BL6 genetic background. For the isolation of RNA from mammary stem cells (MASC, Lin-CD24+CD29hi), luminal progenitors (LP, Lin-CD24hiCD29+CD61+), and mature luminal cells (ML, lin-CD24hiCD29+CD61-), the thoracic and inguinal mammary glands from 3 adult virgin female mice were harvested, minced and digested into a single cell suspension. Form each of these 3 single cell suspensions, the above populations were sorted by FACS. For alveolar luminal stem/progenitor cells and alveolar luminal cells, Lin-YFP+ mammary epithelial cells were isolated from virgin or midgestation mice genetically marked by Wap-Cre;R26Y. R26Y is a conditional YFP reporter that would be turned on upon Cre-mediated recombination.

LPA receptor activity is basal specific and coincident with early pregnancy and involution during mammary gland postnatal development

Project description:During pregnancy, luminal and basal epithelial cells of the adult mammary gland proliferate and differentiate resulting in remodeling of the adult gland. While pathways that control this process have been characterized in the gland as a whole, the contribution of specific cell subtypes, in particular the basal compartment, remains largely unknown. Basal cells provide structural and contractile support, however they also orchestrate the communication between the stroma and the luminal compartment at all developmental stages. Using RNA-seq, we show that basal cells are extraordinarily transcriptionally dynamic throughout pregnancy when compared to luminal cells. We identified gene expression changes that define specific basal functions acquired during development that led to the identification of novel markers. Enrichment analysis of gene sets from 24 mouse models for breast cancer pinpoint to a potential new function for insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1r) in the basal epithelium during lactogenesis. We establish that β-catenin signaling is activated in basal cells during early pregnancy, and demonstrate that this activity is mediated by lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3 (Lpar3). These findings identify novel pathways active during functional maturation of the adult mammary gland.

10X Genomics scRNA-seq profiling of mammary gland cells from mice at different life stages

Project description:Background: Heterogeneity within the mouse mammary epithelium has been recently explored by single-cell RNA profiling. To further understand how cellular diversity changes during mammary development, we profiled single cells from different developmental stages including late embryogenesis, early postnatal, prepuberty, resting adult, mid-pregnancy, late-pregnancy, lactation and post-involution. We also compared the transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility of micro-dissected ducts versus terminal endbuds (TEBs) to help decipher the molecular properties of these specialized units that drive morphogenesis. Results: The single cell transcriptomes of 110,726 cells isolated from different stages were determined on the 10x Chromium platform and integrative analyses were performed to compare specific time-points. The mammary rudiment at E18.5 aligned more closely with the basal than the luminal lineage, while prepubertal epithelial cells at 2 weeks exhibited lineage segregation but to a less differentiated state than their adult counterparts. Integrated analysis of five stages spanning the pregnancy cycle revealed a novel alveolar progenitor that arises in late-pregnancy and stage-specific expression profiles. A continuum of states was uncovered along the basal-luminal progenitor cell axis following interrogation with >3,200 lineage-specific signature genes. Finally, exploration of micro-dissected TEBs and ducts showed that luminal cells within TEBs harbored intermediate expression profiles, and that ductal basal cells exhibited a higher level of accessible chromatin than their counterparts in TEBs.
