Mammary gland secretion: hormonal coordination of endocytosis and exocytosis

Abstract: The mammary epithelium coordinates the uptake of milk precursors and the transport of milk components in order to produce milk of relatively constant composition at a particular stage of lactation, as long as the mammary gland is healthy. The mammary epithelial cell controls the uptake of blood-borne molecules at its basal side and the release of products into milk at its apical side, through mechanisms of internalization (endocytosis) and mechanisms of release (exocytosis). These events are strictly dependent… Show more

“…After TJs closure, the composition of the milk reflects the highly coordinated functioning of four main transcellular pathways in MECs, which operate to produce milk components from blood-borne and interstitial molecules [6,38]. Many transporters ( Fig.…”

“…Following polarity establishment, secretory function is fully achieved when the secretion pathway is activated to deliver cargo to and across the cell membrane (1). In the mammary gland, the MECs actively synthesize copious amounts of caseins and other milk constituents that are secreted into the alveolar lumen, primarily by exocytosis (68). Vesicle acidification is required for exocytosis in other specialized secretory tissues, such as the pancreas (69), intestine (70), prostate (71), brain (72), and salivary gland (73).…”

“…The transcytotic pathway seems also involved in sorting at the trans-Golgi network and in the biogenesis of casein-containing secretory vesicles. The mammary epithelial cells thus coordinate the endo-cytosis of blood-borne molecules at their basal side and the exocytosis of products into milk at their apical side (Chanat et al, 1999;Chat et al, 2011;Honvo-Houeto et al, 2016;Truchet and Ollivier-Bousquet, 2009).…”
