Transcription profiling of mouse normal mammary gland epithelial populations: basal/myoepithelial, luminal estrogen receptor negative (ER-) and luminal estrogen receptor positive (ER+) cells

ABSTRACT: The goal of the experiment was to carry out a transcriptome analysis of the three main epithelial cell populations of the mouse mammary gland, the basal/myoepithelial, luminal estrogen receptor negative (ER-) and luminal estrogen receptor positive (ER+) cells, to identify cell-type specific differences in gene expression. Three replicates arrays were carried out for each of the three populations (a total of nine arrays). Each replicate was a genuine biological replicate from RNA harvested from completely independent cell preparations. Each sample was isolated from preparations of mammary epithelium derived fourth mammary fat pads of 8 * 10 week old virgin female FVB mice. Each preparation was from a pool of 10 * 20 animals (20 * 40 fat pads).
