Abstract

The stem cell niche comprises stem cells (SCs), stromal cells, soluble factors, extracellular matrix constituents and vascular networks. The ability to identify signals that regulate SC self-renewal and differentiation is confounded by the difficulty in isolating pure SC niche components in sufficient quantities to enable their biochemical characterisation. Here, we report the extracellular (secretome) and adherent plasma membrane proteomes of three distinct epithelial cell subpopulations isolated and immortalized from the mouse mammary gland - basal and mammary stem cell (basal/MaSC), luminal progenitor (LP) and mature luminal (ML) cell lines. GeLC-MS/MS-based proteomic profiling revealed a..
