Murine Brca1 is widely expressed during development in different tissues. Why alterations of BRCA1 lead specifically to breast and ovarian cancer is currently not clarified. Here we show that Brca1 protein expression is upregulated during mammary epithelial differentiation of HC11 cells, during differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts into myotubes and during neuronal differentiation of N1E-115 cells. Ectopic overexpression of BRCA1 and downregulation of endogenous Brca1 expression specifically affect the regulation of mammary epithelial cell differentiation. Accelerated mammary epithelial cell differentiation upon high ectopic BRCA1 expression is not a consequence of the anti-proliferative capacity of this tumor suppressor and independent of functional p53. Overexpression of the BRCA1 variant lacking the large central exon 11 has no effects on mammary epithelial cell differentiation. These data provide new insights into the cellular role of Brca1.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
