Estrogen receptor-depended gene signatures in the mouse mammary gland after acute estradiol treatment (RNA-Seq)
Estrogen receptor a (ERa) is the major driving transcription factor in normal mammary gland development as well as breast cancer initiation and progression.However,the fundamental mechanisms,including global cistromic and genomic transcriptional responses that are required to elicit mammary epithelial cell proliferation in response to estradiol, have not been elucidated. We used RNA-seq analysis to identify global gene expression signatures that are acutely regulated by estroegn receptors in the mouse mammary gland after acute estradiol treatment. Overall design: Mammary gland gene expression data from 6-week-old ovariectomized wildtype mice treated subcutaneously with 17ß-Estradiol for 2 hours . Two replicate pools were tested with five mice per pool.
