Stem cells in the human breast.
The origins of the epithelial cells participating in the development,tissue homeostasis,and cancer of the human breast are poorly understood. However,emerging evidence suggests a role for adult tissue-specific stem cells in these processes. In a hierarchical manner,these generate the two main mammary cell lineages,producing an increasing number of cells with distinct properties. Understanding the biological characteristics of human breast stem cells and their progeny is crucial in attempts to compare the features of normal stem cells and cancer precursor cells and distinguish these from nonprecursor cells and cells from the bulk of a tumor. A historical overview of research on human breast stem cells in primary tissue and in culture reveals the progress that has been made in this area,whereas a focus on the cell-of-origin and reprogramming that occurs during neoplastic conversion provides insight into the enigmatic way in which human breast cancers are skewed toward the luminal epithelial lineage.

Evidence for a direct effect of the autonomic nervous system on intestinal epithelial stem cell proliferation.
The sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PNS) branches of the autonomic nervous system have been implicated in the modulation of the renewal of many tissues,including the intestinal epithelium. However,it is not known whether these mechanisms are direct,requiring an interaction between autonomic neurotransmitters and receptors on proliferating epithelial cells. To evaluate the existence of a molecular framework for a direct effect of the SNS or PNS on intestinal epithelial renewal,we measured gene expression for the main autonomic neurotransmitter receptors in this tissue. We separately evaluated intestinal epithelial regions comprised of the stem,progenitor,and mature cells,which allowed us to investigate the distinct contributions of each cell population to this proposed autonomic effect. Notably,we found that the stem cells expressed the receptors for the SNS-associated alpha2A adrenoreceptor and the PNS-associated muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1 and M3). In a separate experiment,we found that the application of norepinephrine or acetylcholine decreases the expression of cyclin D1,a gene necessary for cell cycle progression,in intestinal epithelial organoids compared with controls (P {\textless} 0.05). Together,these results provide evidence of a direct mechanism for the autonomic nervous system influence on intestinal epithelial stem cell proliferation.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signaling Is Essential for Normal Mammary Gland Development and Stem Cell Function
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling plays an important role in embryonic stem cells and adult tissue homeostasis,but the function of FGFs in mammary gland stem cells is less well defined. Both FGFR1 and FGFR2 are expressed in basal and luminal mammary epithelial cells (MECs),suggesting that together they might play a role in mammary gland development and stem cell dynamics. Previous studies have demonstrated that the deletion of FGFR2 resulted only in transient developmental defects in branching morphogenesis. Using a conditional deletion strategy,we investigated the consequences of FGFR1 deletion alone and then the simultaneous deletion of both FGFR1 and FGFR2 in the mammary epithelium. FGFR1 deletion using a keratin 14 promoter-driven Cre-recombinase resulted in an early,yet transient delay in development. However,no reduction in functional outgrowth potential was observed following limiting dilution transplantation analysis. In contrast,a significant reduction in outgrowth potential was observed upon the deletion of both FGFR1 and FGFR2 in MECs using adenovirus-Cre. Additionally,using a fluorescent reporter mouse model to monitor Cre-mediated recombination,we observed a competitive disadvantage following transplantation of both FGFR1/R2-null MECs,most prominently in the basal epithelial cells. This correlated with the complete loss of the mammary stem cell repopulating population in the FGFR1/R2-attenuated epithelium. FGFR1/R2-null MECs were partially rescued in chimeric outgrowths containing wild-type MECs,suggesting the potential importance of paracrine mechanisms involved in the maintenance of the basal epithelial stem cells. These studies document the requirement for functional FGFR signaling in mammary stem cells during development.

Epithelial cell specific Raptor is required for initiation of type 2 mucosal immunity in small intestine.
Intestinal tuft cells are one of 4 secretory cell linages in the small intestine and the source of IL-25,a critical initiator of the type 2 immune response to parasite infection. When Raptor,a critical scaffold protein for mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1),was acutely deleted in intestinal epithelium via Tamoxifen injection in Tritrichomonas muris (Tm) infected mice,tuft cells,IL-25 in epithelium and IL-13 in the mesenchyme were significantly reduced,but Tm burden was not affected. When Tm infected mice were treated with rapamycin,DCLK1 and IL-25 expression in enterocytes and IL-13 expression in mesenchyme were diminished. After massive small bowel resection,tuft cells and Tm were diminished due to the diet used postoperatively. The elimination of Tm and subsequent re-infection of mice with Tm led to type 2 immune response only in WT,but Tm colonization in both WT and Raptor deficient mice. When intestinal organoids were stimulated with IL-4,tuft cells and IL-25 were induced in both WT and Raptor deficient organoids. In summary,our study reveals that enterocyte specific Raptor is required for initiating a type 2 immune response which appears to function through the regulation of mTORC1 activity.

ALDH activity indicates increased tumorigenic cells, but not cancer stem cells, in prostate cancer cell lines.
BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been shown to be a small stem cell-like cell population which appears to drive tumorigenesis,tumor recurrence and metastasis. Thus,identification and characterization of CSCs may be critical to defining effective anticancer therapies. In prostate cancer (PCa),the CD44(+) cell population appears to have stem cell-like properties including being tumorigenic. The enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) has been found to identify hematopoietic stem cells and our aim was to determine the utility of ALDH activity and CD44 in identifying PCa stem cell-like cells in PCa cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: LNCaP cells and PC-3 cells were sorted based on their expression of CD44 and ALDH activity. The cell populations were investigated using colony-forming assays,invasion assays,sphere formation experiments in a non-adherent environment and 3-D Matrigel matrix culture to observe the in vitro stem-cell like properties. Different sorted cell populations were injected subcutaneously into NOD/SCID mice to determine the corresponding tumorigenic capacities. RESULTS: ALDH(hi) CD44(+) cells exhibit a higher proliferative,clonogenic and metastatic capacity in vitro and demonstrate higher tumorigenicity capacity in vivo than did ALDH(lo) CD44(-) cells. The tumors recapitulated the population of the original cell line. However,ALDHlo CD44(-) cells were able to develop tumors,albeit with longer latency periods. CONCLUSION: ALDH activity and CD44 do not appear to identify PCa stem cells; however,they do indicate increased tumorigenic and metastatic potential,indicating their potential importance for further exploration.

Mesenchymal stem cells expressing GD2 and CD271 correlate with breast cancer-initiating cells in bone marrow.
Purpose: The bone marrow microenvironment is considered a critical component in the dissemination and fate of cancer cells in the metastatic process. We explored the possible correlation between bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) and disseminated breast cancer-initiating cells (BCIC) in primary breast cancer patients. Experimental design: Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) were collected at the time of primary surgery in 12 breast cancer patients. BM-MNC was immunophenotyped and BCIC was defined as epithelial cells (CD326+CD45-) with a stem-like" phenotype (CD44+CD24low/-�

The Wnt signaling receptor Lrp5 is required for mammary ductal stem cell activity and Wnt1-induced tumorigenesis.
Canonical Wnt signaling has emerged as a critical regulatory pathway for stem cells. The association between ectopic activation of Wnt signaling and many different types of human cancer suggests that Wnt ligands can initiate tumor formation through altered regulation of stem cell populations. Here we have shown that mice deficient for the Wnt co-receptor Lrp5 are resistant to Wnt1-induced mammary tumors,which have been shown to be derived from the mammary stem/progenitor cell population. These mice exhibit a profound delay in tumorigenesis that is associated with reduced Wnt1-induced accumulation of mammary progenitor cells. In addition to the tumor resistance phenotype,loss of Lrp5 delays normal mammary development. The ductal trees of 5-week-old Lrp5-/- females have fewer terminal end buds,which are structures critical for juvenile ductal extension presumed to be rich in stem/progenitor cells. Consequently,the mature ductal tree is hypomorphic and does not completely fill the fat pad. Furthermore,Lrp5-/- ductal cells from mature females exhibit little to no stem cell activity in limiting dilution transplants. Finally,we have shown that Lrp5-/- embryos exhibit substantially impaired canonical Wnt signaling in the primitive stem cell compartment of the mammary placodes. These findings suggest that Lrp5-mediated canonical signaling is required for mammary ductal stem cell activity and for tumor development in response to oncogenic Wnt effectors.

Rhinovirus C targets ciliated airway epithelial cells.
BACKGROUND The Rhinovirus C (RV-C),first identified in 2006,produce high symptom burdens in children and asthmatics,however,their primary target host cell in the airways remains unknown. Our primary hypotheses were that RV-C target ciliated airway epithelial cells (AECs),and that cell specificity is determined by restricted and high expression of the only known RV-C cell-entry factor,cadherin related family member 3 (CDHR3). METHODS RV-C15 (C15) infection in differentiated human bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) cultures was assessed using immunofluorescent and time-lapse epifluorescent imaging. Morphology of C15-infected differentiated AECs was assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS C15 produced a scattered pattern of infection,and infected cells were shed from the epithelium. The percentage of cells infected with C15 varied from 1.4 to 14.7% depending on cell culture conditions. Infected cells had increased staining for markers of ciliated cells (acetylated-alpha-tubulin [aat],p < 0.001) but not markers of goblet cells (wheat germ agglutinin or Muc5AC,p = ns). CDHR3 expression was increased on ciliated epithelial cells,but not other epithelial cells (p < 0.01). C15 infection caused a 27.4% reduction of ciliated cells expressing CDHR3 (p < 0.01). During differentiation of AECs,CDHR3 expression progressively increased and correlated with both RV-C binding and replication. CONCLUSIONS The RV-C only replicate in ciliated AECs in vitro,leading to infected cell shedding. CDHR3 expression positively correlates with RV-C binding and replication,and is largely confined to ciliated AECs. Our data imply that factors regulating differentiation and CDHR3 production may be important determinants of RV-C illness severity.
