High hopes for RANKL: will the mouse model live up to its promise?

The steroid hormones, estrogens and progesterone are key drivers of postnatal breast development and are linked to breast carcinogenesis. Experiments in the mouse mammary gland have revealed that they rely on paracrine factors to relegate their signal loca ...

Cyclin D1 Enhances the Response to Estrogen and Progesterone by Regulating Progesterone Receptor Expression

Cathrin Brisken

Estrogen and progesterone are the defining hormones of normal female development, and both play critical roles in breast carcinogenesis. Cyclin D1 is a breast cancer oncogene whose amplification is linked to poor prognosis in estrogen and progesterone rece ...

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 ...

Role of canonical Wnt signaling in mammary gland development

Renuga Devi Rajaram

The female reproductive hormones estrogens, progesterone, and prolactin control postnatal breast development and are important to breast carcinogenesis. In particular, exposure to progesterone is tightly linked to breast cancer risk. Using the mouse as a m ...

Liver receptor homolog 1 is essential for ovulation

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Chikage Mataki

Female fertility requires normal ovarian follicular growth and ovulation. The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 has been implicated in processes as diverse as bile acid metabolism, steroidogenesis, and cell proliferation. In the ovary, Lrh1 is expr ...

c-Myc and its target FoxM1 are critical downstream effectors of constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) mediated direct liver hyperplasia

Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Christelle Dubey, Armin Ehninger

In the adult liver, 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)] benzene (TCPOBOP), an agonist of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR, NR1I3), produces rapid hepatomegaly in the absence of injury. In this study, we identify c-Myc as a gene induced by CAR and ...

Co-encapsulation of dexamethasone 21-acetate and SPIONs into biodegradable polymeric microparticles designed for intra-articular delivery

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Olivier Jordan

Objective: Intra-articular drug delivery systems still suffer from too short-lasting effects. Magnetic particles retained in the joint using an external magnetic field might prolong the local release of an anti-inflammatory drug. For the purpose, superpara ...

Adaptive control of a G. xylinus fed-batch fermentation using in situ mid-IR spectroscopy

Urs von Stockar, Sergio Valentinotti, Martin Rhiel, Henri Kornmann

Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) have unique rheol. properties due to their high purity and regular structure. Thus, the food industry frequently uses EPS as thickening, gelling or stabilizing agents. The strain Gluconacetobacter xylinus I 2281 is capabl ...

Boron doped diamond electrodes for nitrate elimination in concentrated wastewater

Christos Comninellis

Electrochem. and phys. properties of polycryst. B-doped diamond electrodes with a metallic conduction grown by MPCVD and HFCVD were studied with the goal to use them as cathodes, for the electrochem. redn. of nitrate in neutral solns. All electrodes contai ...

Progesterone receptor knockout mice have an improved glucose homeostasis secondary to beta-cell proliferation

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

Gestational diabetes coincides with elevated circulating progesterone levels. We show that progesterone accelerates the progression of diabetes in female dbdb mice. In contrast, RU486, an antagonist of the progesterone receptor (PR), reduces blood glucose ...
