Abstract:
:Embryonic mammary gland development involves the formation of mammary placodes, invagination of flask-shaped mammary buds and development of miniature bi-layered ductal trees. Currently there is a good understanding of the factors that contribute to ectodermal cell movements to create these appendages and of pathways that lead to mammary specification and commitment. Gene expression profiles of early bipotent mammary stem cells populations as well as cell surface proteins and transcription factors that promote the emergence of unipotent progenitors have been identified. Analyses of these populations has illuminated not only embryonic mammary development, but highlighted parallel processes in breast cancer. Here we provide an overview of the highly conserved pathways that shape the embryonic mammary gland. Understanding the dynamic signaling events that occur during normal mammary development holds considerable promise to advance attempts to eliminate cancer by restoring differentiative signals.
