To investigate the dysregulating effect of excess oxidative stress on mammary gland development, mammary anlage from newborn female mice with normal (+/+) or absent (null, -/-) manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) were excised and implanted under the renal capsule of normal host female nude mice with/without concurrent estrogen supplementation. After 30 days the transplanted glands were excised for wholemount, microscopic and immunohistochemical evaluation. In contrast to the normal growth and maturation of transplanted SOD2+/+ glands, SOD2-/- glands showed arrested development, reduced ductal outgrowth and branching, and absent lumen. These hypomorphic SOD2-/- ducts contained hyperplastic epithelium with increased Ki-67 labelling, toss of E-cadherin expression, and disorganized p63 and cytokeratin (K)-14 expressing basal and myoepithetial components. Estrogen treatment failed to upregulate progesterone receptor or normalize development. These findings suggest that excess oxidative stress from loss of SOD2 function can arrest mammary gland maturation and induce hyperplastic epithelium with early premalignant features.
