Abstract

Mammary epithelial cells contain a subpopulation of cells with a large proliferativ potential which are responsible for the maintenance of glandular cellularity and are the progenitor cells of mammary cancer. These clonogens give rise to multicellular clonal alveolar or ductal units(AU or DU) on transplantation and hormonal stimulation. To isolate putative mammary clonogens, enzymatically monodispersed rat mammary epithelial cells from organoid cultures and from intact glands are sorted by flow cytometry according to their affinity for FITC labeled peanut lectin(PNA) and PE labeled anti-Thy-1.1 antibody(Thy-1.1) into four subpopulations : cells negative to both PNA and Thy-1.1(B-), PNA+cells, Thy-1.1+cells, and cells positive to both reagents(B+). The in vivo transplantation assays indicate that the clonogenic fractions of PNA+cells from out-growths of organoids in primary cultures for three days in complete hormone medium(CHM) are significantly higher than those of cells from other subpopulations derived from cultrues or from intact glands. Extracellular matrix(ECM) is a complex of several proteins that regulated cell function ; its role in cell growth and differentiation and tissue-specific gene expression. It can act as a positive as well as a negative regulator of cellular differentiation depending on the cell type and the genes studied. Regulation by ECM is closely interrelated with the action of other regulators of cellular function, such as growth factors and hormones. Matrigel supports the growth and development of several different multicellular colonies from mammary organoids and from monodispersed epithelial cells in culture. Several types of colonies are observed including stellate colonies, duct-like structures, two- and three-dimensional web structures, squamous organoids, and lobulo-duct colonies. Organoids have the greatest proliferative potential and formation of multi-cellular structures. Phase contrast micrographs demonstrate extensive intracellular lipid accumulation within the web structures and some of duct-like colonies. At the immunocytochemical and electron micrograph level, casein proteins are predominantly localized near the apical surface of the cells or in the lumen of duct-like or lobulo-duct colonies. Squamous colonies are comprised of several layers of squamous epithelium surrounding keratin pearls as is typical fo squamous metaplasia(SM). All-trans retinoic acid(RA) inhibits the growth of SM. The frequency of lobulo-ductal colony formation increased with the augmentation of RA concentration in these culture conditions. The current study models could provide powerful tools not only for understanding cell growth and differentiation of epithelial cells, but also for the isolation and characterization of mammary clonogenic stem cells.

유선에 존재하는 유선 상피 모세포(mammary epithelial stem cells)의 존재 증거, 정상 조직에서 이들의역할, flow cytometry 및 면역 염색법에 의한 세포 분리, 세포 기질 단백질을 이용한 삼차원적 세포 배양에서의 증식 등을 요약한다. 유선의 실질 조직에 상피 모세포가 존재한다는 것은 여러 형태의 이식 실험에서 설명되었고 또 모세포의 표현형적 특징들은 여러 가지의 monoclonal antibodies에 의해 논증되었다. 이들 연구의 결과들은 유선의 모세포군이 end bud와 유선의 기저층(basal layer)에 존재한다고 제시하고 있다. 이들을 분리, 동정하기 위해 FITC-PNA와 PE-Thy-1.1 항체와 같은 세포 표지자를 이용하여 유선 상피 세포를 4군으로 나눌 수 있었다. FITC-PNA에만 양성 반응을 보인 PNA+ 세포군, PE-Thy-1.1에만 양성 반응을 보인 Thy-1.1+ 세포군, 이들 두 표지자에 양성 반응을 보인 B+ 세포군, 그리고 양쪽에 음성 반응을 보인 B- 세포군이었는데 이들을 flow cytometry로 분리하고 생체에 이식 실험을 하였을 때 PNA+ 세포군이 유선 모세포들을 가장 많이 가진 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 유선 상피세포로 이루어진 유선 조직 절편(organoids) 이들 상피세포군을 세포외기질 단백질체인 Matrigel 내에서 배양한 결과 a) stellate, b) duct, c) web, d)squamous, e) lobuloduct 등 5종류의 다세포 구조물이 생성됨을 확인하였다. 이들 중 편평상피화생의 구조물은 정상적인 유선 조직에서는 나타나지 않는 구조물인데 all-trans retinoic acid를 처리하였을 때 배지의 조정에 따라 다소 차이는 있으나 대부분 이들 편평상피화생의 생성이 억제됨을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 본 연구에 이용된 생체 이식법 및 삼차원적 세포외기질 세포 배양법이 상피세포의 성장, 분화 및 모세포 연구에 유용하게 이용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
