主 题:mammary development mammary stem cells sympathetic nerve mammary microenvironment
摘 要:The mammary gland is a dynamic organ that undergoes significant changes at multiple stages of postnatal *** the roles of systemic hormones and microenvironmental cues in mammary homeostasis have been extensively studied,the influence of neural signals,particularly those from the sympathetic nervous system,remains poorly ***,using a mouse mammary gland model,we delved into the regulatory role of sympathetic nervous signaling in the context of mammary stem cells and mammary *** findings revealed that depletion of sympathetic nerve signals results in defective mammary development during puberty,adulthood,and pregnancy,accompanied by a reduction in mammary stem cell *** in vitro three-dimensional culture and in vivo transplantation analyses,we demonstrated that the absence of sympathetic nerve signals hinders mammary stem cell self-renewal and regeneration,while activation of sympathetic nervous signaling promotes these ***,sympathetic nerve signals orchestrate mammary stem cell activity and mammary development through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling ***,our study unveils the crucial roles of sympathetic nerve signals in sustaining mammary development and regulating mammary stem cell activity,offering a novel perspective on the involvement of the nervous system in modulating adult stem cell function and organ development.
