IGF-I, EGF, and sex steroids regulate autophagy in bovine mammary epithelial cells via the mTOR pathway.

3 – Mammary Gland

Role of ovarian secretions in mammary gland development and function in ruminants.

The role and the importance of ovarian steroids on mammary gland and on MECs is described and ovarian steroids appear to be key regulators of the different stages of mammogenesis and mammary function.

Cellular Plasticity and Heterotypic Interactions during Breast Morphogenesis and Cancer Initiation

The concept of cellular plasticity in normal breast morphogenesis and cancer, and how the stromal environment plays a vital role in cancer initiation and progression is discussed.

Age-Related Changes in the Epithelial and Stromal Compartments of the Mammary Gland in Normocalcemic Mice Lacking the Vitamin D3 Receptor

Developmental studies indicate that, under normocalcemic conditions, loss of VDR signaling is associated with age-related estrogen deficiency, disruption of epithelial ductal branching, abnormal energy expenditure and atrophy of the mammary adipose compartment.

Growth hormone alters components related to differentiation, metabolism and milk synthesis and secretion in MAC-T cells

Results indicate that GH is an important factor in inducing a lactogenic phenotype in the MAC-T cell line, and supports GHs involvement in differentiation, while altering cell metabolism in preparation for synthesis and secretion of milk components.

Retinoids and steroids in bovine mammary gland immunobiology

Recent insights into the effect of natural and environmental estrogens on mammary development and carcinogenesis.

The relevance of nuclear and extranuclear localization of ERs and other eventual estrogen binding sites, mediating differential actions in regard to these various topics is critically addressed to delineate the importance of direct and indirect activation procedures and delicate feedback loops.

These findings suggest that the drive to mammary development in pregnancy comes from control of growth factors, and, in the case of IGF, modulating binding proteins, a control exerted by hormones, which, in general, are not themselves mitogens.
