Project description:Single-cell analysis of accessible chromatin using scATAC-seq and transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq in human mammary epithelial cells
Project description:Global proteomic profiling of three mammary epithelial cell types in normal human breast tissue. Primary breast specimens were obtained from 10 women undergoing reduction mammoplasties. Clinical co-variates include age (28-67), hormone status (follicular, luteal, post-menopausal) and mammary epithelial cell type (basal, luminal progenitor, mature luminal).
Project description:We report transcriptome analysis of wallaby mammary epithelial cells (WallMEC) following treatment with mammary ECM from two distinct stages of lactation
Project description:Mammary gland branching morphogenesis is thought to relie on the mobilization of the membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinase, Mmp14/MT1-MMP, to drive mammary epithelial invasion by remodeling the extracellular matrix and triggering associated signaling cascades. However, the roles that this proteinase plays during postnatal mammary gland development in vivo remain undefined. A mammary gland branching program that occurs during the first 4 weeks of postnatal mouse development, in tandem with recently developed Mmp14-floxed mice and MMTV-Cre transgenics that express Cre recombinase throughout the mammary epithelial cell compartment, were used to characterize the impact of deleting epithelial cell Mmp14 on mammary gland morphogenesis. Transcriptome profiling of mammary epithelial cells was used to investigate the functional roles of MT1-MMP in the postnatal mammary epithelial cell compartment in an unbiased fashion
Project description:The aim of this project is to examine age-dependent changes in the proteomes and phosphoproteomes of normal human mammary luminal epithelial and myoepithelial cells.
