Book Progestins and the Mammary Gland

Download or read book Progestins and the Mammary Gland written by Orla M. Conneely and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progestins play a key role in reproductive endocrinology and as pharmaceutical drugs for contraception and in combined hormone therapy. To further our understanding of progestin action in the mammary gland, an international symposium, attended by leading researchers from academia and industry, was held in Berlin, 21–23 March 2007. Genetic mouse models helped to elucidate the role of progestins, both in normal breast development and in disease. Mechanistic molecular studies inspired the design of new progestins with improved tissue selectivity. In addition, the clinical impact of progesterone receptor agonists and antagonists for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer was discussed.

Book Control of the Mammary Cell Cycle Clock by Estrogen and Progesterone

Download or read book Control of the Mammary Cell Cycle Clock by Estrogen and Progesterone written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the growth and the development of the mammary gland are controlled by the female hormones estrogen, prolactin and progesterone, and by interactions between the epithelial and stromal compartments of the breast. Changes in the regulation of any of these processes may lead to breast cancer. We have investigated the role of progesterone in the process of sidebranching and alveologenesis in the mammary gland using mice lacking the progesterone receptor which are defective in these processes. By reconstituting murine mammary glands in vivo, we have shown that the progesterone receptor is required only in epithelial cells for proper sidebranching and alveologenesis to occur. Our studies indicate that progesterone acts in a paracrine manner and suggest that Wnt-4 is a mediator of the paracrine signals released from progesterone receptor-positive cells. In addition, we have characterized the role of the estrogen receptor (ER) in regulating the proliferation of breast cancer cells. We postulate that the ability of ER to control cyclin Dl expression and proliferation of breast cancer cells may be acquired during breast cancer progression. This is indicated by the fact that ectopic expression of the estrogen receptor in human epithelial cells does not, on its own, enable signaling between the ER and the cyclin D1 gene. Moreover, others have demonstrated that the ER-positive cells in the mammary epithelium are distinguishable from those that are actively mitotic. Finally, our work indicates that the effects of deletion of the prolactin receptor (PrlR) from mammary epithelial cells closely phenocopy the consequences of deleting cyclin Dl from these cells. We suggest that activation of the PrlR by its ligand results in the production of insulin-like growth factor-2 which in turn induces cyclin D1 synthesis in these cells.

Book Protecting Infants through Human Milk

Download or read book Protecting Infants through Human Milk written by Larry K. Pickering and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting Infants through Human Milk: Advancing the Scientific Evidence provides a forum in which basic scientists, clinicians, epidemiologists, and policy makers exchange the latest findings regarding the effects of human milk and breastfeeding on infant and maternal health, thereby fostering new and promising collaborations. This volume also integrates data from animal and in vitro laboratory studies with clinical and population studies to examine human milk production and composition, the mechanisms of infant protection and/or risk from human milk feeding, and proposed interventions related to infant feeding practices. Additionally, it stimulates critical evaluation of, and advances in, the scientific evidence base and research methods, and identifies the research priorities in various areas.
