pubmed:abstractText
A linear pathway of morphologically intermediate cells has been identified between the cuboidal epithelial stem cells and the doming alveolar-like cultures of the cell line Rat Mammary (Rama) 25 in the order: cuboidal----grey----dark----dark droplet cell----doming cultures. The overall process can be accelerated by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or retinoic acid (RA) in the presence of mammotrophic hormones. From 400-450 [35S]methionine-labeled polypeptides that are routinely separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis approximately only 3% change during this process. As the Rama 25 cultures become confluent, three polypeptides of molecular weights (MW) 35 kD (pl = 7.7), 45 kD (pl = 7.5) and 33 kD (pl = 7.7) increase dramatically in radioactive abundance. These increases correspond to increases in numbers of grey cells for the 35 kD polypeptide, to increases in numbers of dark cells together with increases in peanut lectin-binding-ability for the 45 kD polypeptide, and to increases in the numbers of dark cells and in the numbers of droplet cells for the 33 kD polypeptide. After treatment with DMSO, RA or in spontaneously doming cultures, a second set of four polypeptides of MW 26 kD (pl = 5.9), 27 kD (pl = 6.2), 30 kD (pl = 7.2), and the same 33 kD polypeptide as above increase with the increase in numbers of droplet cells, domes, and increase in casein secretion. A variant of Rama 25, Rama 259, which fails to produce droplet cells, domes, or to secrete casein with DMSO and hormones also shows the same changes in the first set but not in the second set of polypeptides. The elongated, myoepithelial-like cell line derived from Rama 25, Rama 29, which cannot undergo any of the above intercellular conversions, fails to show changes in any of these polypeptides. Major changes in radioactive polypeptides have been confirmed for nonradioactive polypeptides and for polypeptides labeled for 4 hr with [35S]methionine. The synthesis of these novel polypeptides thus marks specific morphological stages of the differentiation of mammary epithelial stem to alveolar-like cells in culture, and as such may mark similar differentiation stages in vivo.
