Snail1, Snail2, and E47 promote mammary epithelial branching morphogenesis.
Several E-box-binding transcription factors regulate individual and collective cell migration and enhance the motility of epithelial cells by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Here, we characterized the role of a subset of these transcription factors and the EMT proteome in branching morphogenesis of mammary epithelial tissues using a three-dimensional organotypic culture model...
متن کاملBranching morphogenesis of human mammary epithelial cells in collagen gels.
To study the morphogenesis of human epithelial cells in vitro we have used a three-dimensional collagen matrix and a newly developed mammary epithelial cell line, 1-7 HB2. In standard medium 1-7 HB2 cells formed compact balls/spheres inside collagen type I gels, while cocultivation with various fibroblast cell lines or growth in fibroblast-conditioned media resulted in the appearance of branchi...
متن کاملAdipose stroma induces branching morphogenesis of engineered epithelial tubules.
The mammary gland and other treelike organs develop their characteristic fractal geometries through branching morphogenesis, a process in which the epithelium bifurcates and invades into the surrounding stroma. Controlling the pattern of branching is critical for engineering these organs. In vivo, the branching process is instructed by stromal-epithelial interactions and adipocytes form the lar...
متن کاملEpithelial dynamics of pancreatic branching morphogenesis.
The mammalian pancreas is a highly branched gland, essential for both digestion and glucose homeostasis. Pancreatic branching, however, is poorly understood, both at the ultrastructural and cellular levels. In this article, we characterize the morphogenesis of pancreatic branches, from gross anatomy to the dynamics of their epithelial organization. We identify trends in pancreatic branch morpho...
متن کاملThe role of laminin-5 and its receptors in mammary epithelial cell branching morphogenesis.
In vivo, normal mammary epithelial cells utilize hemidesmosome attachment devices to adhere to stroma. However, analyses of a potential role for hemidesmosomes and their components in mammary epithelial tissue morphogenesis have never been attempted. MCF-10A cells are a spontaneously immortalized line derived from mammary epithelium and possess a number of characteristics of normal mammary epit...
