Erbb4 Signaling in the Mammary Gland Is Required for Lobuloalveolar Development and Stat5 Activation during Lactation
Signaling by members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family plays an important role in breast development and breast cancer. Earlier work suggested that one of these receptors, ErbB4, is coupled to unique responses in this tissue. To determine the function of ErbB4 signaling in the normal mouse mammary gland, we inactivated ErbB4 signaling by expressing a COOH terminally deleted dominan...
متن کاملPeroral Estradiol Is Sufficient to Induce Carcinogen-Induced Mammary Tumorigenesis in Ovariectomized Rats without Progesterone
A role for estrogens in breast cancer is widely accepted, however, recent evidence highlights that timing and exposure levels are important in determining whether they elicit harmful versus beneficial effects. The rat chemical carcinogen model has been widely used to study the effects of estrogens but conclusions on the levels that lead to tumor development and an absolute requirement for proge...
متن کاملAffinity with Raf is sufficient for Ras to efficiently induce rat mammary carcinomas.
The role of three major Ras downstream effector pathways in the induction of mammary cancer was studied using an in situ mammary ductal gene delivery model. Replication-defective retroviral vectors were used to infect endogenous rat mammary epithelial cells with three individual Ras effector loop mutants, each of which transduces its signal through a different Ras effector pathway (Raf, PI3K or...
متن کاملSperm binding to the zona pellucida is not sufficient to induce acrosome exocytosis.
At fertilization, spermatozoa bind to the zona pellucida (ZP1, ZP2, ZP3) surrounding ovulated mouse eggs, undergo acrosome exocytosis and penetrate the zona matrix before gamete fusion. Following fertilization, ZP2 is proteolytically cleaved and sperm no longer bind to embryos. We assessed Acr3-EGFP sperm binding to wild-type and huZP2 rescue eggs in which human ZP2 replaces mouse ZP2 but remai...
متن کاملVirally induced CD4+ T cell depletion is not sufficient to induce AIDS in a natural host.
Peripheral blood CD4+ T cell counts are a key measure for assessing disease progression and need for antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients. More recently, studies have demonstrated a dramatic depletion of mucosal CD4+ T cells during acute infection that is maintained during chronic pathogenic HIV as well as SIV infection. A different clinical disease course is observed during the infe...
