Although the pubertal surge of estrogen is the immediate stimulus to mammary development, the action of estrogen depends upon the presence of pituitary growth hormone and the ability of GH to stimulate production of IGF-I in the mammary gland. Growth hormone binds to its receptor in the mammary fat pad, after which production of IGF-I mRNA and IGF-I protein occurs. It is likely that IGF-I then works through paracrine means to stimulate formation of TEBs, which then form ducts by bifurcating or…

It is demonstrated that GH can have important effects in breast cancer cells that are distinct from IGF-IR activity, suggesting that novel drugs or improved combination therapies targeting estrogen receptor and the GH/IGF axis may be beneficial for breast cancer patients.

Development of new tools to identify, isolate, and characterize cell populations within the developing bovine mammary gland offer the possibility of identifying and perhaps altering populations of mammary stem cells or selected progenitor cells to modulate mammary development and, possibly, mammary function.

The hypothesis that GH acts through locallyproduced IGF-I, which in turn, causes development of terminal end buds (TEBs), the structure that lead the process of mammary gland development during puberty is proven.

It is possible that inhibition of IGF-I action, or perhaps GH, in the mammary gland may eventually play a role in breast cancer chemoprevention by preventing actions of both estrogen and progesterone, especially in women at extremely high risk for developing breast cancer such as BRCA gene 1 or 2 mutations.

Pg, through Pg receptor can enhance IGF-I action in DM, and E2 acts through a similar mechanism; E2 alone caused formation of ducts and side branches; there were differences in the actions of Pg and E 2, the former largely affecting duct formation and extension, and the latter side branching.

Analysis of mammary gland ER by immunocytochemistry demonstrated that while ER was present in the epithelial cells of non-treated animals, only GH treated animals had ER clearly visible in both glandular and fat cells of the tissue, whereas treating animals with des(1-3)-IGF-I did not result in reproducible increases in ER, nor in the staining of fat cell nuclei for ER.
