Mammary Gland • Secretory tissue • Ductular system • Connective tissue
Ductular SystemStarts at the alveoli & ends at the teat canal Ductule Mammary duct Gland cistern Teat cistern Streak canal
Role of stem cells in Mammary gland • Mammary gland regeneration during • Pregnancy • Lactation • Involution • MG stem cells control growth and development through self-renewal by • Symmetric cell division • Asymmetric cell division
Symmetric cell division Asymmetric cell division Tissue Growth

Mammary Stem Cells (MaSCs) • Pale/light-staining cells • Located throughout the mature MG • ULLC are located between the basal and luminal layer of the MG with large nuclei. • SLC - located in the basal layer • Large dark cells (LDC) differentiated luminal cells
Mammary Gland Development Birth to Puberty • Gland remains rudimentary • Relatively growth quiescent Puberty • MG undergoes rapid growth and differentiation at the tip of the terminal end buds (TEB) • TEB is surrounded by Cap cell layer that may enter myoepithelial or luminal epithelial lineage • Cap cells are thought to be multipotent stem cells • TEBs are temporary niche - disappear as the duct reaches the end of the fat pad
Organization of duct and end bud Nat Rev Cancer, 2004
MG development during pregnancy • Growth is controlled by estrogen and progesterone • Ductule-lobular growth- first 1/2 of gestation • Lobule-alveolar growth- second 1/2 gestation Ductal Lobuloalveolar gland Lobulo-alveolar progenitor cells Alveolar buds Alveoli
MG development during Pregnancy & Lactation Mid pregnancy Alveolar epithelium (I-transition of lactogenesis) Milk proteins (secretion inhibited) Parturition Milk(II-transition of lactogenesis) Cells differentiate rapidly & continues till peak lactation
Involution Degeneration of the secretory cells • Milking stopped • Intramammary pressure • Luminal pressure > blood pressure • Milk biosynthesis ceases • Alveoli degenerate first furthest from the gland cistern • Adipose cells occupy the empty space • Lastly the duct system remains
Mammary stem cells • Different mammary subpopulation havebon their cell surface CD24+ (heat-stable antigen), CD29hi (β1-integrin), CD49hif (α 6-integrin), Sca-1, etc • MaSCs express low level of stem cell antigen (Sca-1) • A single cell from the CD29hi/CD24+ or CD49hif CD24+ population was found to reconstitute a functional mammary gland
