BRCA1 Basal-like Breast Cancers Originate from Luminal Epithelial Progenitors and Not from Basal Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that deleting Brca1 in mouse mammary epithelial luminal progenitors produces tumors that phenocopy human BRCA1 breast cancers and that when target cells for transformation have the potential for phenotypic plasticity, tumor phenotypes may not directly reflect histogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical research gaps and translational priorities for the successful prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

Suzanne A. Eccles, +86 more
TL;DR: With resources to conduct further high-quality targeted research focusing on the gaps identified, increased knowledge translating into improved clinical care should be achievable within five years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stem cells and breast cancer: A field in transit.

TL;DR: What evidence is there that an adult mammary epithelial stem cell exists, what is its possible identity and what opportunities might the identification of such a cell present for the development of novel therapeutic and prophylactic strategies for treating breast cancer?
Journal ArticleDOI

CD24 staining of mouse mammary gland cells defines luminal epithelial, myoepithelial/basal and non-epithelial cells

TL;DR: Differential staining of mammary epithelial cells for CD24 can be used to simultaneously isolate pure populations of non-epithelial, myoepithel/basal and luminal epithelialcells, which is key for understanding mammaries epithelial stem cells in normal tissue biology and carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociation of estrogen receptor expression and in vivo stem cell activity in the mammary gland.

TL;DR: Flow cytometry is used to prospectively isolate mouse mammary ER-expressing epithelial cells and shown, using analysis of gene expression patterns and cell type–specific markers, that they form a distinct luminal epithelial cell subpopulation that expresses not only the ER but also the progesterone and prolactin receptors.
