pubmed:abstractText
We have studied the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1, -beta 2, and -beta 3 in the non-lactating and lactating bovine mammary gland by in situ hybridization. All three isoforms were expressed in the lobuloalveolar framework of the non-lactating and lactating gland although marked differences were apparent in their spatial distribution. TGF-beta 1 was expressed predominantly by the epithelial cells of the lobules although expression was also observed in the intralobular stroma cells lining the epithelium. In contrast, TGF-beta 2 expression was only observed in the epithelial cells. TGF-beta 3 transcripts were expressed at the highest levels and were observed in almost all cells of the lobule. No TGF-beta signals were found in the interlobular regions of the mammary gland. The possible regulatory functions of these molecules in development of the mammary gland and on differentiation processes in the neonate are discussed.
