Genetic manipulation of the IGF-I axis to regulate mammary gland development and function

Abstract

Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is known to regulate mammary gland development. This regulation occurs through effects on both cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Our laboratory has studied the IGF-I-dependent regulation of these processes by using transgenic and knockout mouse models that exhibit alterations in the IGF-I axis. Our studies of transgenic mice that overexpress IGF-I during pregnancy and lactation have demonstrated that this growth factor slows the apoptotic loss of mammary epithelial cells during the declining phase of lactation but has minimal effects during early lactation on milk composition or lactational capacity. In contrast, our analysis of early developmental processes in mammary tissue from mice carrying a targeted mutation in the IGF-I receptor gene suggests that IGF-dependent stimulation of cell cycle progression is more important to early mammary gland development than potential anti-apoptotic effects. With both models, the effects of perturbing the IGF-I axis are dependent on the physiological state of the animal. The diminished ductal development that occurs in response to loss of the IGF-I receptor is dramatically restored during pregnancy, whereas the ability of overexpressed IGF-I to prote...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
