Mammary epithelial cell subpopulations from control and ovariectomized mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To study the effect of pregnancy on mouse mammary epithelial subpopulations, epthelial cells derived from control or ovariectomized adult mice were isolated using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. After elimination of haematopoietic and endothelial cells, two distinct epithelial subpopulations were sorted using antibodies against CD29 and CD24. Based on the immunohistochemical phenotype, and in vivo and in vitro functional assays, these subpopulations were identified as mammary stem cell enriched (CD29hiCD24+) and luminal (CD29loCD24+) respectively (ref: Shackleton et al, Nature 2006). Microarray profiling was used to compare gene expression profiles of the two subpopulations isolated from ovariectomized and control mice.
