The secreted protease Adamts18 links hormone action to activation of the mammary stem cell niche

Philipp Bucher, Cathrin Brisken, Renuga Devi Rajaram, Giovanna Ambrosini, Marian Caikovski, Rachel Marcone, Céline Berthe Constantin, Dalya Ataca, Marie Shamseddin, Patrik Aouad, Csaba Ferenc László

Estrogens and progesterone control breast development and carcinogenesis via their cognate receptors expressed in a subset of luminal cells in the mammary epithelium. How they control the extracellular matrix, important to breast physiology and tumorigenes ...

Adamts18 deletion results in distinct developmental defects and provides a model for congenital disorders of lens, lung, and female reproductive tract development

Cathrin Brisken, Marian Caikovski, Yakir Guri, Alessandra Piersigilli, Dalya Ataca

The ADAMTS family comprises 19 secreted metalloproteinases that cleave extracellular matrix components and have diverse functions in numerous disease and physiological contexts. A number of them remain 'orphan' proteases, among them ADAMTS18, which has bee ...

Progesterone and Wnt4 control mammary stem cells via myoepithelial crosstalk

Cathrin Brisken, Renuga Devi Rajaram, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Jacques Rougemont, Marian Caikovski, Duje Buric

Ovarian hormones increase breast cancer risk by poorly understood mechanisms. We assess the role of progesterone on global stem cell function by serially transplanting mouse mammary epithelia. Progesterone receptor (PR) deletion severely reduces the regene ...

ID4 regulates mammary gland development by suppressing p38MAPK activity

Jun Dong, Cathrin Brisken, Xiuwei Zhang, Marian Caikovski, Yiming Li

The ID family of helix-loop-helix proteins regulates cell proliferation and differentiation in many different developmental pathways, but the functions of ID4 in mammary development are unknown. We report that mouse Id4 is expressed in cap cells, basal cel ...

Two distinct mechanisms underlie progesterone-induced proliferation in the mammary gland

Cathrin Brisken, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Marian Caikovski

The mouse mammary gland develops postnatally under the control of female reproductive hormones. Estrogens and progesterone trigger morphogenesis by poorly understood mechanisms acting on a subset of mammary epithelial cells (MECs) that express their cognat ...
