An interplay between the p38 MAPK pathway and AUBPs regulates c-fos mRNA stability during mitogenic stimulation

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways constitute key regulatory elements linking extracellular stimuli to nuclear gene expression. Immediate-early responsive genes (IEGs) of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family, such as fos, achieve peak expres ...

Progesterone/RANKL Is a Major Regulatory Axis in the Human Breast

Cathrin Brisken, Tamara Tanos, Georgios Sflomos, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Maryse Fiche, Maria Gutierrez Najera

Estrogens and progesterones are major drivers of breast development but also promote carcinogenesis in this organ. Yet, their respective roles and the mechanisms underlying their action in the human breast are unclear. Receptor activator of nuclear factor ...

ER and PR signaling nodes during mammary gland development

Cathrin Brisken, Tamara Tanos, Lucia Jimenez Rojo

The ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone orchestrate postnatal mammary gland development and are implicated in breast cancer. Most of our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) signaling ste ...

Perinatal Exposure to Bisphenol A Increases Adult Mammary Gland Progesterone Response and Cell Number

Cathrin Brisken, Jacques Rougemont, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Tamara Tanos, Christina Schrick

Bisphenol A [BPA, 2,2,-bis (hydroxyphenyl) propane] is one of the highest-volume chemicals produced worldwide. It is detected in body fluids of more than 90% of the human population. Originally synthesized as an estrogenic compound, it is currently utilize ...

What signals operate in the mammary niche?

Cathrin Brisken, Tamara Tanos

Adult stem cells reside in a specialized microenvironment, the niche, which controls their behavior. As mammary stem cells, and consequently their niches, are still poorly defined, we look at better-characterized adult mammalian stem cell niches in the hem ...
