Implication

Experimental study reveals D-galactose accelerates mammary stem cell aging and tissue inflammation in mice, suggesting a viable surrogate model for breast cancer research.

Key Points

To assess whether a D-galactose-induced accelerated aging mouse model effectively recapitulates the mammary stem/progenitor cell dynamics and pathological features of natural aging.
Administered D-galactose to establish an accelerated aging rodent model.
Profiled mammary gland pathology, epithelial cell composition, stem/progenitor cell function, and systemic and local inflammatory markers, comparing the results with historical data from naturally aged mice.
Mammary glands from D-galactose-treated mice faithfully replicated the pathological changes, epithelial cell composition shifts, and stem/progenitor cell functional decline seen in natural aging.
Accelerated aging elevated systemic inflammatory markers in circulating blood and local inflammatory responses within mammary gland tissue.
