Oestrogens control postnatal mammary gland development acting on a subset of mammary epithelial cells (MECs), termed sensor cells, which are ERα-positive by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and secrete paracrine factors, which stimulate ERα-negative responder cells. Here we show that deletion of AF-1 or AF-2 blocks pubertal ductal growth and subsequent development because both are required for expres- sion of essential paracrine mediators. Thirty percent of the luminal cells are ERα-negative by IHC but express Esr1 transcripts. This low level ERα expression through AF-2 is essential for cell expansion during puberty and growth-inhibitory during pregnancy. Cell-intrinsic ERα is not required for cell proliferation nor for secretory differentiation but controls transcript levels of cell motility and cell adhesion genes and a stem cell and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) signature identifying ERα as a key regulator of mammary epithelial cell plasticity. 1 Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research, School of Life Sciences, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland. 2 Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, CH-1066 Epalinges, Switzerland. 3 Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Department of Laboratory Medecine, University Hospital of Lausanne, CH-1011 Lausanne, Switzerland.

Despite treatment advances for primary breast cancer, metastatic bone disease remains incurable with a low relative survival. Hence, new therapeutic approaches are required to improve survival and treatment outcome for these patients. Bone is among the most frequent sites of metastasis in breast cancer. Once in the bone, disseminated tumor cells can acquire a dormant state and remain quiescent until they resume growth, resulting in overt metastasis. At this stage the disease is characterized by excessive, osteoclast-mediated osteolysis. Cells of the bone microenvironment including osteoclasts, osteoblasts and endothelial cells contribute to the initiation and progression of breast cancer bone metastasis. Direct cell-to-cell contact as well as soluble factors regulate the crosstalk between disseminated breast cancer cells and bone cells. In this complex signaling network Citation: Haider, M.-T.; Ridlmaier, interleukins (ILs) have been identified as key regulators since both, cancer cells and bone cells secrete N.; Smit, D.J.; Taipaleenmäki, H.

Dihydromyricetin (DMY) has antitumor potentials for dif- Colorectal cancer ferent types of human cancer cells. However, the pharmacological effects of DMY on colon cancer (CC) or the Semaphorin 4D regulatory effects of Sema4D on this process remain largely unknown. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate Oxidative stress the effects of DMY on CC, and to elucidate the role of Sema4D in DMY-induced antitumor effects. DMY inhibited Inflammation the proliferation and growth of Colo-205 colon cancer cells significantly in vivo and in vitro. DMY inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, but increased glutathione (GSH) level. Moreover, the activities of antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione per- oxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) were enhanced by DMY treatment in vitro, showing strong anti-oxidative stress effect. In addition, DMY inhibited the secretion of interleukin 1β (IL- 1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) in the supernatant of Colo-205 culture medium.

This capacity has largely been ascribed to paracrine factors secreted by nerve-resident Schwann cells. Here, we used single-cell transcriptional profiling to identify ligands made by different injured rodent nerve cell types and have combined this with cell-surface mass spectrometry to computationally model potential paracrine interactions with peripheral neurons. These analyses show that peripheral nerves make many ligands predicted to act on peripheral and CNS neurons, in- cluding known and previously uncharacterized ligands. While Schwann cells are an important ligand source within injured nerves, more than half of the predicted ligands are made by nerve-resident mesenchymal cells, including the endoneurial cells most closely associated with peripheral axons. At least three of these mesen- chymal ligands, ANGPT1, CCL11, and VEGFC, promote growth when locally applied on sympathetic axons.
