Figure 8. GRP78 is required for mammary gland regeneration.

Figure 8

(a) Schematic of adenovirus-Cre mediated recombination of Grp78 floxed alleles and mammary transplantation. (b) Sorted adult mammary epithelial stem and progenitor cells population (red) isolated by FACS from 78f/f adult glands were transduced ex vivo with adenoviral vectors carrying GFP (Ad-GFP-Con) or GFP and Cre recombinase (Ad-GFP-Cre). GFP positive cells were sorted 16 hours later and used to inoculate de-epithelialized recipient glands. (c) Quantitation of flow cytometric analysis of surface GRP78 positive cells from transplanted Ad-GFP-Con and Ad-GFP-Cre mammary epithelial cells following 12 weeks outgrowth. (d) Representative whole mount mammary glands 6 weeks after transplantation of 78f/f mammary epithelial cells transduced with Ad-GFP-Con or Ad-GFP-Cre. Ad-GFP-Con: n = 3; Ad-GFP-Cre: n = 9. Scale bar shows 1 cm and is applicable to all sections.
