Printed on acid-free paper This Humana Press imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer Science+Business Media LLC New York Pref ace It is timely and exciting to compile some of the key molecular biological protocols and experimental strategies currently employed to study the various stages of mammary gland development. To this end we have invited leaders in the fi eld to contribute detailed descrip- tions of their methodologies. We begin with a comprehensive overview of mouse mammary gland development drawing particular attention to comparative human biology and then present our selection of core methodologies in four parts. Owing to the importance of transgenic and knock-out mouse models to the fi eld, we begin Part I with two reviews of genetically modifi ed mouse models that exhibit prenatal and pubertal mammary gland phenotypes. We discuss these phenotypes in the context of embryonic and postnatal gland development while emphasizing the study of the terminal end bud and the process of branching morphogenesis. We then present detailed descrip- tions of transplantation techniques, isolation and transcriptome analysis of the mammary terminal end bud during ductal morphogenesis, as well as transcriptome analysis of mam- mary fi broblasts isolated from sections taken at puberty. We fi nally describe how the post- lactational involuting gland can be used as a model to study epithelial cell death. In Part II we present a selection of 2D and 3D-model culture systems that have been employed to investigate a variety of mammary epithelial cell behaviors in vitro. We begin with a contrac- tile assay for the study of myoepithelial cells and then present methods for in vitro recapitu- lation of mammary epithelial cell organization in the now infamous 3D acinus formation assay. In particular, we focus on the intrinsic molecular requirements for acini formation such as the role of MAP kinases and transient EMT, but also that of the microenvironment, examining the role of other cell types and how mechanical forces affect aggregated epithe- lial cells. Part III deals with stem cells and the mammary gland and we present methodolo- gies for mammary stem cell isolation, reprogramming of progenitor populations, and a description of some strategies and methods for cell lineage tracing. Lastly, Part IV high- lights some translational applications that provide a bridge between experimental studies of mammary gland development and the study of human breast cancer, with tissue microar- rays for biomarker discovery and the increasingly popular practice of generating patient- derived xenographs for the study of cancer progression. Our hope is that this volume will have a wide readership: researchers whose primary inter- est is in mammary gland development; developmental biologists interested in related inter- nally branched epithelial organs, for instance the lung, kidney, and salivary gland; epithelial cell biologists and those with an interest in molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer.

  • Anatomy of the Human Mammary Gland: Current Status of Knowledge
    Clinical Anatomy 00:000–000 (2012) REVIEW Anatomy of the Human Mammary Gland: Current Status of Knowledge 1,2 1 FOTEINI HASSIOTOU AND DONNA GEDDES * 1Hartmann Human Lactation Research Group, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Western Australia, Australia 2School of Anatomy, Physiology and Human Biology, Faculty of Science, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Western Australia, Australia Mammary glands are unique to mammals, with the specific function of synthe- sizing, secreting, and delivering milk to the newborn. Given this function, it is only during a pregnancy/lactation cycle that the gland reaches a mature devel- opmental state via hormonal influences at the cellular level that effect drastic modifications in the micro- and macro-anatomy of the gland, resulting in remodeling of the gland into a milk-secretory organ. Pubertal and post-puber- tal development of the breast in females aids in preparing it to assume a func- tional state during pregnancy and lactation. Remarkably, this organ has the capacity to regress to a resting state upon cessation of lactation, and then undergo the same cycle of expansion and regression again in subsequent pregnancies during reproductive life. This plasticity suggests tight hormonal regulation, which is paramount for the normal function of the gland. This review presents the current status of knowledge of the normal macro- and micro-anatomy of the human mammary gland and the distinct changes it undergoes during the key developmental stages that characterize it, from em- bryonic life through to post-menopausal age. In addition, it discusses recent advances in our understanding of the normal function of the breast during lac- tation, with special reference to breastmilk, its composition, and how it can be utilized as a tool to advance knowledge on normal and aberrant breast devel- opment and function.

(2015). Quantification of regenerative potential in primary human mammary epithelial cells. Development, DOI:10.1242/dev.123554. Abstract Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with a high degree of intra- and intertumoral diversity, which impedes accurate patient stratification, prognosis and optimal treatment. The mammary gland consists of a complex network of epithelial ducts which end in clusters of alveoli, called terminal ductal lobular units (TDLUs) which are the functional units of the mammary gland. Postnatal mammary gland development and homeostasis require an enormous regenerative output, suggesting the existence of tissue stem/progenitor cells and a high degree of cellular plasticity to ensure functional robustness, i.e. the production and secretion of milk during lactation. Therefore, the observed heterogeneity in breast cancer is likely the result of normal mammary gland architecture and functionality.

  • Bilateral Accessory Breast S Sahu, M Husain, P Sachan
    The Internet Journal of Surgery ISPUB.COM Volume 17 Number 2 Bilateral Accessory Breast S Sahu, M Husain, P Sachan Citation S Sahu, M Husain, P Sachan. Bilateral Accessory Breast. The Internet Journal of Surgery. 2007 Volume 17 Number 2. Abstract Accessory breasts or polymastia occur in 0.4-6 per cent of women and 1-3% of males. They can consist of any or all components of the breast and may be functional or non-functional. Approximately 67% of accessory breast tissue occurs in the thoracic or abdominal portions of the milk line, often just below the inframammary crease and more often on the left side of the body. Another 20% occur in the axilla. We report a case of bilateral axillary accessory breast. Excision was done under general anesthesia. INTRODUCTION Figure 1 The mammary glands are a distinguishing feature of Figure 1: Bilateral Axillary Accessory Breast mammals beginning their development early in the embryologic life. At 5 weeks of embryologic development, ectodermal mammary streaks extend bilaterally from axilla to groin. Two weeks later, a mammary ridge or milk line develops in the thoracic portion of the primitive streaks and begins to proliferate as a primary mammary bud. This primary bud subsequently begins growth downward as a solid diverticulum into the underlying dermis during the seventh week. By the 10th week, the primary bud begins to branch, yielding secondary buds by the 12th week, which eventually develop into the mammary lobules of the adult breast. Further differentiation into complete breast parenchyma occurs during the remainder of gestation. The remainder of the mammary streak usually regresses; however, incomplete involution can result in foci of accessory breast tissue anywhere along the line that extends from axilla to groin.

  • Implications of Breastfeeding in Triple Negative Breast Cancer THESIS
    Implications of Breastfeeding in Triple Negative Breast Cancer THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mustafa M. Basree Graduate Program in Anatomy The Ohio State University 2017 Thesis Committee: Bhuvaneswari Ramaswamy, MD MRCP, Research Advisor Gustavo Leone, PhD, Research Advisor Eileen Kalmar, PhD, Academic Advisor Sarmila Majumder, PhD Kirk McHugh, PhD Copyright by Mustafa M. Basree 2017 Abstract Due to high mortality associated with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), a prevention program has the potential to protect many women against this disease. Recent epidemiological and meta-analysis studies revealed a possible correlation between a lack of breastfeeding and development of TNBC. African-American (AA) women have a disproportionate burden of developing aggressive TNBC, a sub-population with higher parity rates and lower prevalence of breastfeeding. The reasons for why parity and breastfeeding affect breast cancer risk are unclear, but recent studies revealed that the pregnancy-lactation cycle (which leads to remodeling of the mammary glands) alters breast morphology and microenvironment, thereby modifying breast cancer risk. Natural weaning (NW), the gradual cessation of breastfeeding, results in a measured reduction of the ductal structures, termed involution. Conversely, the decision not to breastfeed results in a hastened involution, or abrupt involution (AW). We modeled NW and AW in wild- type mice by restricting breastfeeding to 28 and 7 days respectively. Striking differences in the distribution of cell populations were observed in the mammary glands of AW mice compared to NW mice. Fluorescence activated cell sorting analysis revealed an expansion of the luminal progenitor cells with a concomitant decrease in mammary stem- cell enriched/basal compartment in the glands of the AW cohort.
