Project description:Investigation of whole-genome gene expression level changes in C57Bl6 Lrp5-/- mammary epithelial cells, compared to the wild-type strain. The mammary epithelial cells were isolated from numbers 4 and 5 mammary glands. The Lrp5-/- mouse strain described in this study has been further described in Lindvall C, Evans NC, Zylstra CR, Li Y, Alexander CM, Williams BO. 2006. The Wnt signaling receptor Lrp5 is required for mammary ductal stem cell activity and Wnt1-induced tumorigenesis. J Biol Chem. 2006 Nov 17;281(46):35081-7. Epub 2006 Sep 13. PMID: 16973609.

Mammary epithelial cells were isolated from 6 groups of Lrp5+/+ and 3 groups of Lrp5-/- mice. The isolated RNA was submitted to the Gene Expression Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison where it was labelled with Cy3. Labelled samples were submitted to Roche Nimblegen and were hybridized to Mus musculus 1-Plex arrays that represent 42,586 mouse genes.
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 – 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.
Project description:RON WT and RON KO at 5, 6, 7 week virgin mammary glands In the study, we demonstrated that RON regulates mammary gland branching morphogenesis in pubertal development associated with changes in gene expression. Keywords: Pubertal mammary glands In the study, we hybridized RNA from 5, 6, 7 week old virgin female RON WT and KO mammary glands to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array
Project description:Mammary fibroblasts (CD1 strain of mouse) that were exposed to BPA or oil control in utero were isolated from 12 week old mice. RNA was harvested and sequenced from the fibroblasts.
Project description:The goal of the experiment was to carry out a transcriptome analysis of the three main epithelial cell populations of the mouse mammary gland, the basal/myoepithelial, luminal estrogen receptor negative (ER-) and luminal estrogen receptor positive (ER+) cells, to identify cell-type specific differences in gene expression. Three replicates arrays were carried out for each of the three populations (a total of nine arrays). Each replicate was a genuine biological replicate from RNA harvested from completely independent cell preparations. Each sample was isolated from preparations of mammary epithelium derived fourth mammary fat pads of 8 * 10 week old virgin female FVB mice. Each preparation was from a pool of 10 * 20 animals (20 * 40 fat pads).
Project description:Epithelial cells were isolated by FACS from the mammary glands of pubescent (5 week old), estrus adult (10 week old) and diestrus adult (10 week old) female mice. Freshly sorted cells were submitted to a 10X Genomics Chromium System for single cell capture. cDNA synthesis and library preparation was done according to the protocol supplied by the manufacturer. Sequencing was carried out on an Illumina NextSeq500 sequencer using parameters recommended by 10X Genomics.
Project description:Wnt signaling is a major regulator of osteoblast differentiation and function. To investigate how Wnt3a signaling regulates osteoblastic gene expression and to identify the role of Lrp5 and Lrp6 in mediating Wnt3a signaling in osteoblasts, neonatal calvarial osteoblasts isolated from C57Bl6 (WT) and osteoblasts lacking Lrp5 (Lrp5KO), Lrp6 (Lrp6KO) and, both Lrp5 and 6 (Lrp5/6KO) were treated with Wnt3a for 24 hours and gene expression changes were quantified by RNA-seq.
Project description:To study the effect of pregnancy on mouse mammary epithelial subpopulations, epthelial cells derived from virgin or pregnant (12.5 day pregnant) mice were isolated using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. After elimination of haematopoietic and endothelial cells, two distinct epithelial subpopulations were sorted using antibodies against CD29 and CD24. Based on the immunohistochemical phenotype, and in vivo and in vitro functional assays, these subpopulations were identified as mammary stem cell enriched (CD29hiCD24+) and luminal (CD29loCD24+) respectively (ref: Shackleton et al, Nature 2006). Microarray profiling was used to compare gene expression profiles of the two subpopulations in 12.5 day pregnant and virgin mice.
