Characterization of effects of estrogen, progesterone and the endocrine-disrupting chemicals on mouse mammary gland in 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide-induced menopause model via single-cell RNA-sequencing
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mammary gland is a dynamic organ which undergoes most of its structural development after birth under cyclic control of ovarian hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Using 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) menopause model, we investigated the effect of ovarian hormones on mouse mammary glands. In particular, we focused on mouse mammary gland fibroblasts because they are one of the known crucial players but yet to be characterized well. With integrated analysis including six other publicly available datasets as well as mammary epithelium atlas data, we comprehensively described the characters of mouse mammary gland (e.g. potential commitment to mammary gland development, response to estrogens, developmental relationship, and crosstalk with mammary epithelium) in a population specific manner. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of endocrine disrupting chemical named polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in either of absence or presence of ovarian hormones on whole cellular components of mouse mammary gland including epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and immune cells at a single cell level.
