Transcriptional regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression in epithelial and stromal cells during mouse mammary gland development

Abstract

Accompanying changes in the development and function of the mammary gland is the establishment of a vascular network of critical importance for lactogenesis and tumorigenesis. A potent angiogenic and permeability factor that regulates vascular development in association with epithelial-stromal interactions is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Analysis of VEGF transcription by RT-PCR revealed mRNA for all three VEGF isoforms (VEGF120, 164, 188) within the mammary gland of nulliparous females. During pregnancy the level of VEGF188 declined and became undetectable during lactation in association with the increased abundance of VEGF120 and VEGF164 mRNAS: All three isoforms were expressed at consistent levels within the cleared mammary fat pad throughout development. Furthermore, the presence of VEGF188 mRNA in omental adipose tissue at various stages established that VEGF188 is expressed specifically in adipose tissue within the mammary gland. Using 3T3-L1 preadipocytes it was demonstrated that VEGF188 mRNA transcription occurs as a late event during lipogenesis distinct from earlier induction of VEGF120 and VEGF164 mRNA during differentiation. In contrast, HC11 mammary epithelial cells only expressed mRNA for VEGF120 and ...Continue Reading
