Randomized trial reveals fetal salivary mesenchyma accelerates mammary cancer development in mice, suggesting implications for tumor biology.

This research aims to investigate how transplantation of fetal salivary mesenchyma affects mammary cancer development in mice.
Transplanted fetal salivary mesenchyma into adult mouse mammary glands.
Compared ductal outgrowths in MuMTV-infected and non-infected mice.
Analyzed cancer development in mice exposed to DMBA following transplantation.
Duct-alveolus nodules (DAN) formed, displaying atypical outgrowth distinct from hyperplastic alveolar nodules (HAN).
High frequency of mammary cancers detected in DAN from MuMTV-infected and DMBA-exposed mice.
No increase in mammary cancers observed in MuMTV-free mice receiving salivary mesenchyma.

Sakakura et al. (1981) studied this question.
