Pregnancy-associated alterations in DNA methylation patterns of mammary epithelial stem cells [inhibitor study]

ABSTRACT: Mammary gland development and luminal differentiation occur largely postnatally during puberty and pregnancy. To explore the role of DNA methylation in luminal cell differentiation and pregnancy-induced changes, we determined the genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression profiles of mammary epithelial stem, luminal progenitor, and mature luminal cells at different reproductive stages. We found that pregnancy had the most significant effects on stem cells, inducing a distinct epigenetic state that remained stable through life. Integrated analysis of gene expression, DNA methylation, and histone modification profiles revealed cell type and reproductive stage-specific changes in molecular signatures. We also identified p27 and TGFβ signaling as key regulators of luminal progenitor cell proliferation based on their expression patterns and by the use of explant cultures. Our results suggest relatively minor changes in DNA methylation during luminal cell differentiation as compared to the significant effects of pregnancy on mammary epithelial stem cells. Mammary glands were collected from mice treated with DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine (AzaC) and histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid (VPA) at non-pregnant and pregnant stages for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Pregnancy-associated alterations in DNA methylation patterns of mammary epithelial stem cells [mRRBS]

Project description:Mammary gland development and luminal differentiation occur largely postnatally during puberty and pregnancy. We found that pregnancy had the most significant effects on stem cells, inducing a distinct epigenetic state that remained stable through life. Mammary glands were collected from mice at non-pregnant and pregnant stages for DNA extraction and DNA methylation analysis via mRRBS (multiplexed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing).

Pregnancy-associated alterations in DNA methylation patterns of mammary epithelial stem cells [reproductive stages]

Project description:Mammary gland development and luminal differentiation occur largely postnatally during puberty and pregnancy. We found that pregnancy had the most significant effects on stem cells, inducing a distinct epigenetic state that remained stable through life. Mammary glands were collected from different reproductive stages to purify different epithelium cell types, which were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Mammary gland development: cross-species analysis of the mammary gland transcriptome in pregnant or lactating wild type female Sprague Dawley rats.

Project description:Cross-species hybridization analysis of mammary glands during pregnancy and lactation. Results provide insight into putative conserved molecular mechanisms regulating mammary gland development. This study was performed to identify orthologous transcripts that are differentially co-expressed in the mammary gland at 2 stages of development (pregnancy and lactation) in wild type Sprague-Dawley rats. Key points are examined in a time series of Sprague Dawley rat mammary gland development, secretory activation and lactation. Triplicate rat (three biological replicates) at each time point were used for statistical power totalling 12 individual arrays in this study. Rats were as staged pregnant day 1 the day that post coital plug was observed, and similarly, lactation day 1 was the first day after birth. Whole mammary glands No. 4 (inguinal) were obtained from female rats at stages of development: virgin (adulthood, 14 wks of age), Pregnant (5 and 14 days of pregnancy) and Lactating (day 1 and 12 postpartum). The two-color (Cy5/Cy3) microarray experiment was designed to hybridize samples from each group against a common reference, a pool of RNA from mammary gland of three parous or virgin female rats.

microRNA expression during ovine adult mammary gland development

Project description:The mammary gland undergoes extensive remodeling between the begin- ning of pregnancy and lactation; this involves cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, all of which are under the control of numerous regulators. To unravel the role played by miRNA, we describe here 47 new ovine miRNA cloned from mammary gland in early pregnancy displaying strong similari- ties with those already identified in the cow, human, or mouse. A microarray study of miRNA variations in the adult ovine mammary gland during pregnancy and lactation showed that 100 miRNA are regulated according to three principal patterns of expression: a de- crease in early pregnancy, a peak at midpregnancy, or an increase throughout late pregnancy and lactation. One miRNA displaying each pattern (miR-21, miR-205, and miR-200b) was analyzed by qRT- PCR. Variations in expression were confirmed for all three miRNA. Using in situ hybridization, we detected both miR-21 and miR-200 in luminal mammary epithelial cells when expressed, whereas miR-205 was expressed in basal cells during the first half of pregnancy and then in luminal cells during the second half. We therefore conclude that miR-21 is strongly expressed in the luminal cells of the normal mammary gland during early pregnancy when extensive cell prolif- eration occurs. In addition, we show that miR-205 and miR-200 are coexpressed in luminal cells, but only during the second half of pregnancy. These two miRNA may cooperate to maintain epithelial status by repressing an EMT-like program, to achieve and preserve the secretory phenotype of mammary epithelial cells. 5 samples for sheep and 5 samples for mouse

High-fat or ethinyl-estradiol intake during pregnancy increases mammary cancer risk in several generations of offspring

Project description:Maternal exposures during pregnancy influence the risk of many chronic adult-onset diseases in the offspring. We investigated whether feeding pregnant rats a high fat (HF) or ethinyl-estradiol (EE2)-supplemented diet affects carcinogen-induced mammary cancer risk in daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters. Here we show that mammary tumorigenesis is higher in daughters and granddaughters of HF rat dams and in daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters of EE2 rat dams. Outcross experiments indicate that increased mammary cancer risk is transmitted to HF granddaughters equally through the female or male germlines, but it is only transmitted to EE2 granddaughters through the female germline. The effects of maternal EE2 exposure on offspring's mammary cancer risk are associated with alternations in the DNA methylation machinery and methylation patterns in mammary tissue of all three EE2 generations. We conclude that dietary and estrogenic exposures in pregnancy increase breast cancer risk in multiple generations of offspring, possibly through non-genetic means We examined the whole genome methylation status of both control and EE2-supplemented diet rats in three consecutive generations
