Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE20401: Mammary epithelial cell subpopulations from control and ovariectomized mice GSE20402: Mouse mammary epithelial cell subpopulations from pregnant and virgin mice Refer to individual Series
Project description:To study the effect of pregnancy on mouse mammary epithelial subpopulations, epthelial cells derived from virgin or pregnant (12.5 day pregnant) 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 in 12.5 day pregnant and virgin mice. For each biological replicate, mammary gland from virgin or 12.5 day pregnant FVB/NJ mice were collected and digested to obtain a single cell suspension. CD45-CD31-TER119- cells were then sorted based on the expression of cell surface markers CD24 and CD29. There were 4 pools of pregant mice and 3 pools of virgin mice.

Project description:This study examined the effect of early pregnancy on the gene expression profiles of stromal and various epithelial mammary cell subpopulations in mice. Mammary cell subpopulations were isolated from parous and age-matched virgin control mice. Three independent replicates were assessed per cell subpopulation and treatment group, resulting in a total of 35 samples.
Project description:Temporal Transcriptional Profiling in response to cMYC and KrasG12D Expression and Inactivation in In Vitro Cultured Primary Mammary Epithelial Cells of Adult Virgin Mice
Project description:MaSC, Luminal progenitor enriched subpopulations were sorted based on CD24/CD29 expression from mammary epithelial cells of virgin female mice . (Tiede BJ et al., 2009, PLoS ONE 4(11): e8035. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0008035), and the transcirptome profiles were determined and compared.
