dc.description.abstract | In the mammary gland the induction and maintenance of differentiation are dependent on both lactogenic hormones and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Since mammary epithelial cells differentiate on a basement membrane in vivo we have examined the effects of basement membrane components on the expression of milk protein genes in primary rat mammary cultures. We examined the effects of a basement membrane gel derived from the Englebreth-Holm-Swarm tumor as well as its major component, laminin, on the expression of a group of milk protein genes. We demonstrate that the basement membrane gel induces [alpha]-casein and [alpha]-lactalbumin ([alpha]-LA) accumulation up to 160- and 70-fold, respectively, of that on tissue culture plastic. Laminin, a major component of the basement membrane, also caused significant induction of these same proteins. In order to determine whether these ECM effects occurred at a translational or post-translational level, pulse-chase experiments were performed. These experiments demonstrated that a laminin substratum selectively effects milk protein turnover and secretion. In order to demonstrate whether ECM effects occurred at the level of steady state accumulation of mRNA we performed dot blot and Northern analyses using cloned cDNA probes for [alpha]-, [beta]-, and [gamma]-caseins and [alpha]-LA. These studies demonstrated that ECM components induced [alpha]- and [beta]-caseins up to 10-fold and [alpha]-LA up to 3-fold, with no significant effect on [gamma]-casein. These results demonstrate that milk protein genes are not coordinately regulated by ECM components. Furthermore, since the amount of induction of milk proteins exceeds the amount of induction of mRNAs for these proteins, we conclude that in our system a major effect of ECM components is at the translational and/or post-translational levels. Based on these findings we propose a model in which basement membrane components effect mammary gene expression at multiple levels. | en_US |
