Figure 6.

Organoids recovered epithelial behaviors when Twist1 was turned off. (A) Twist1 was transiently activated in CMV::rtTA;TRE-Twist1 epithelium by a 48-h pulse of doxycycline. (B) In basal medium, organoids transiently disseminated, but disseminated cells stopped migrating after doxycycline removal (arrowheads; Video 6). (C–E) In the presence of FGF2, organoids initiated new buds after doxycycline removal (D), and disseminated cells reintegrated with the main organoid (E; Video 7). (F) Branched organoids displayed normal mammary epithelial organization, with inner luminal epithelial cells (K8+) and outer myoepithelial cells (K14+). Bars, 20 µm.
