Crosstalk between the p190-B RhoGAP and IGF signaling pathways is required for embryonic mammary bud development

Abstract: P190-B RhoGAP (p190-B, also known as ARHGAP5) has been shown to play an essential role in invasion of the terminal end buds (TEBs) into the surrounding fat pad during mammary gland ductal morphogenesis. Here we report that embryos with a homozygous p190-B gene deletion exhibit major defects in embryonic mammary bud development. Overall, p190-B-deficient buds were smaller in size, contained fewer cells, and displayed characteristics of impaired mesenchymal proliferation and differentiation. Consistent with the … Show more

“…There are likely also specific morphogenetic movements required by the epithelial cells for invagination of the bud. The mitotic index of the cells within the bud has been shown to be lower than that of the surrounding epidermal cells and, thus, the bud does not form as a result of cell division (Balinsky 1950;Propper 1978;Chu et al 2004;Heckman et al 2007). As with placode specification, the formation of the individual bud pairs display differential requirements for specific signaling pathways (Veltmaat et al 2006;Robinson 2007;Watson and Khaled 2008).…”

“…It is expressed primarily within the epithelium of the mammary bud at E12.5, but also at lower levels in the surrounding mesenchyme (Heckman et al 2007). P190-B 2/2 embryos have small mammary buds with a disorganized mammary mesenchyme that fails to express AR (Heckman et al 2007).…”

“…p190A contains an N-terminal GTPase domain, a large middle domain juxtaposed to the C-terminal GAP domain, and a short C-terminal tail (74). The C-terminal tail of ϳ50 amino acids is divergent between p190A and the closely related family member p190B (14) and thus may specify the unique functional roles for p190A and p190B revealed in gene knockout studies (10,11,41,77,78). p190A activity is dynamically regulated in response to external cues during cell adhesion and migration (5,6,59).…”

“…In previous studies, IGFBP5, one of the negative regulators of IGFR signaling has been proposed as a key regulator of mammary gland events during lactation and involution (10,57). The IGF signaling pathway has been demonstrated to play a central role in embryonic and postnatal mammary development, particularly in modulating mammary cell proliferation and differentiation, and as an inhibitor of apoptosis (23,26). IGF-1 transgenic animal models have demonstrated a positive effect of the IGF signaling pathway on maternal lactation performance (24).…”
