Regulation of mammary epithelial cell phenotypes by the helix-loop-helix protein, Id-1.

Abstract: Mammary epithelial cells undergo cycles of proliferation, invasion, differentiation and apoptotic cell-death throughout adult life. The molecular mechanisms that regulate these complex and co-ordinated developmental programs are poorly understood. We have identified Id-1 protein, a negative regulator of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, as a critical regulator of these normal mammary epithelial cell phenotypes. We also found that Id-1 is an important regulator of the aggressive and invasive phenoty… Show more

“…Id1 was previously reported to be expressed in the mammary gland during the early stages of pregnancy, followed by a downregulation of Id1 concomitant with an upregulation of milk protein genes [6]. Id1 expression has also been shown to prevent terminal differentiation and production of milk proteins by immortalised mammary epithelial cells in culture [6], [7], [8], [17], [18]. While our earlier results suggested that Id1 is not expressed by luminal epithelia, it is possible that our histological analysis failed to identify a role for Id1 in luminal cell biology.…”

“…It appears that Id-1 protein may be an important new target molecule for antiangiogenic drug design in cancer treatment. Several investigations have demonstrated that Id protein affects cell growth via the mechanisms of cell proliferation and/or apoptosis (Kim et al, 1999;Lin et al, 1999;Norton, 2000;Alani et al, 2001). It has been suggested that Id-1 and Id-2 proteins may function in the bHLH-mediated inactivation of the cyclindependent kinase inhibitors, for example, p21 WAF1 , p16 INK4a and p27 KIP1 (Prabhu et al, 1997;Polsky et al, 2001;Ouyang et al, 2002b;Singh et al, 2002).…”

“…Id-1 has multiple roles in cell proliferation, invasion, differentiation ,and antiapoptosis and it has shown to be necessary for mammary gland development and remodeling (Lin et al, 1999(Lin et al, , 2000Parrinello et al, 2001). Here, we generated a MMTV-Id-1 transgenic mouse model and investigated the role of Id-1 as a potential controller of mouse mammary gland development.…”
