CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein Beta Regulates Stem Cell Activity and Specifies Luminal Cell Fate in the Mammary Gland
6 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
The bZIP transcription factor C/EBP beta is important for mammary gland development and its expression is deregulated in human breast cancer. To determine whether C/EBP beta regulates mammary stem cells (MaSCs), we employed two different knockout strategies. Using both a germline and a conditional knockout strategy, we demonstrate that mammosphere formation was significantly decreased in C/EBP beta-deficient...
