Perturbation of beta1-integrin function alters the development of murine mammary gland

Abstract

The expression of a transgene coding for a chimeric molecule, containing the cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains of the beta1-integrin chain and the extracellular domain of the T-cell differentiation antigen CD4, was targeted to the mouse mammary gland by the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter. The chimera does not interact with the extracellular ligands; however, its expression in cultured cells was shown to interfere with focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation following ligation of endogenous beta1-integrin. Therefore, expression of the transgenic protein on the cell surface should uncouple adhesion from intracellular events associated with the beta1-cytoplasmic domain and thus perturb beta1-integrin functions. Although most of the transgenic females were able to lactate, their mammary glands had a phenotype clearly distinct from that of wild-type mice. At mid-pregnancy and the beginning of lactation, transgenic glands were underdeveloped and the epithelial cell proliferation rates were decreased, while the apoptosis levels were higher than in wild-type glands. In lactation, the amounts of the whey acidic protein (WAP) and beta-casein gene transcripts were diminished, and the basement membrane component, laminin...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Basophils

Basophils are myeloid cells with a high affinity IgE receptor and is involved in inflammatory responses during allergy. Discover the latest research on Basophils here.

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
