Mammary gland development is a complex process involving dynamic interaction between the epithelial and stromal components at different critical stages, particularly around puberty. While epithelial tissue changes are well-documented, stromal mechanisms are less understood. To address this gap, this study employed histology, lipidomic, and transcriptomic analyses to investigate molecular and cellular dynamics in the mammary gland during pre-puberty (Post Natal Day (PND21)), peri-puberty (PND46), and adulthood (PND90) in rats. The epithelial area was significantly smaller at PND21 than at PND46 and PND90, with a higher complexity at PND21 compared to PND46. Significant differences in adipocyte number and size were observed between PND21, PND46, and PND90. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that 1563 genes changed significantly between PND21 and PND46, with only 14 genes altered between PND46 and PND90. Enrichment analyses indicated dynamic regulation of pathways related to proliferation, differentiation, lipid metabolism, and immune responses. In lipidomic analysis, 29/43 and 7/43 fatty acids differed significantly between PND21 - PND46 and PND46 - PND90, respectively. These results suggest that mammary gland development involves complex interactions between metabolic demands, hormonal regulation, and immune responses.
乳腺发育是一个复杂的过程,涉及上皮和基质成分在不同关键阶段,尤其是青春期前后的动态相互作用。虽然上皮组织的变化已有充分记录,但基质机制却了解较少。为了填补这一空白,本研究采用组织学、脂质组学和转录组学分析方法,研究大鼠青春期前(出生后第21天(PND21))、青春期前后(PND46)和成年期(PND90)乳腺中的分子和细胞动态变化。PND21时的上皮面积明显小于PND46和PND90时,且与PND46相比,PND21时的上皮复杂性更高。在PND21、PND46和PND90之间观察到脂肪细胞数量和大小存在显著差异。转录组分析显示,PND21和PND46之间有1563个基因发生了显著变化,而PND46和PND90之间只有14个基因发生了改变。富集分析表明,与增殖、分化、脂质代谢和免疫反应相关的信号通路受到动态调控。在脂质组分析中,PND21 - PND46和PND46 - PND90之间分别有29/43和7/43种脂肪酸存在显著差异。这些结果表明,乳腺发育涉及代谢需求、激素调节和免疫反应之间的复杂相互作用。
