endocrine/exocrine glands
• ovariectomized female mice exposed to estrogen exhibit a 2-fold increase in ductal thickening and extensive side-branching compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
• estrogen-induced secondary branching is 3- to 4-fold greater and tertiary branching 5- to 7-fold greater than in similarly treated wild-type mice
• female mice exposed to high levels of estrogen develop abnormal mammary lesions or focal dysplasia unlike similarly treated wild-type mice with a 4-fold increase in lesion frequency and a 2.5-fold increase in lesion diameter
|
• estrogen-treated mice develop ductal carcinoma in situ in the mammary glands unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• estrogen-treated lesions exhibit nuclear atypia and heterogeneity, complete filling of ductal lumens, and local infiltration with small blood vessels
• ductal lesions in estrogen-treated mice exhibit abnormal distribution of myoepithelial cells, increased cell proliferation at terminal end buds, stromal activation, and enriched in mammary stem/progenitor cells
• ductal lesions in estrogen treated mice express Npm1 (B23), a marker for tamoxifen resistance, and Nol3 (Arc), a marker of resistance to apoptosis
