Sorted stem/progenitor epithelial cells of pubertal bovine mammary gland present limited potential to reconstitute an organised mammary epithelium after transplantation

Résumé

The development and maintenance of mammary gland tissue depend on the proliferation and differentiation of mammary stem and progenitor cells. Here, we investigated populations of mammary epithelial cells that are potential candidates for bovine mammary gland development using xenotransplantation into mice cleared mammary fat pad. Transplanted mammary explants from 17-month-old Holstein heifers developed outgrowths exhibiting the archetypal morphology and molecular marker distributions of the bovine gland. Xenotransplantation of sorted mammary epithelial cells (CD49 f pos ) into bovinised fat pads using inactivated bovine fibroblasts resulted in outgrowth developments with 50% take rate, but these lacked the ductal or alveolar epithelial structures of the normal mammary gland. Similar results were obtained with xenografts of candidate bovine mammary epithelial stem cells (CD49 f high CD24 pos ) or epithelial cells of the basal lineage (CD49 f high CD24 neg ) which also developed as clumps of cells surrounded by stromal stretches within the mouse adipose tissue. In conclusion, sorted cells showed compromised regenerative potential for epithelial morphogenesis. Further work is therefore needed to identify mammary stem/progenitor cells with full regenerative capabilities for biogenesis of normal mammary gland structure, with milk-secreting function.
