Pregnancy-dependent mammary tumors (PDMT) of GR/A mice and transplantable PDMT (TPDMT-4 line) in DDD mice, are exceptionally stable in hormone dependence, continue to grow until parturition and regress soon after delivery. In order to study the regression mechanism of PDMT and TPDMT-4, morphological and biochemical changes were examined in the tumors removed on day 18 (TPDMT-4) or day 20 (PDMT) of pregnancy, and on the expected parturient and the following postpartum days. DNA fragmentation occurred from day 18 (TPDMT-4) or day 20 (PDMT) of pregnancy to the day after parturition. Apoptotic cells were demonstrated by an in situ 3'-end labeling method, and the plateau of the number of apoptotic cells was observed on the parturient day in PDMT and on the day after parturition in TPDMT-4. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction showed that expression of Fas was slightly increased but that of bcl-2 was decreased during the process of involution of TPDMT-4 and PDMT. These results suggest that both an increase in expression of Fas and decrease in expression of bcl-2 are involved in the apoptosis of pregnancy-dependent mammary tumor cells after parturition.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm. Messenger RNA,Messenger RNA, Polyadenylated,Poly(A) Tail,Poly(A)+ RNA,Poly(A)+ mRNA,RNA, Messenger, Polyadenylated,RNA, Polyadenylated,mRNA,mRNA, Non-Polyadenylated,mRNA, Polyadenylated,Non-Polyadenylated mRNA,Poly(A) RNA,Polyadenylated mRNA,Non Polyadenylated mRNA,Polyadenylated Messenger RNA,Polyadenylated RNA,RNA, Polyadenylated Messenger,mRNA, Non Polyadenylated
