| Research Abstract |
In this study, we obtained results suggesting that the differences in DNA damage response in developing mammary glands, and the DNA repair gene BRIP1 has important roles in promoting normal acinar morphogenesis and loss of BRIP1 disrupts acinar formation possibly through the dysregulation of multiple cellular signaling pathways. Since the expression levels of BRIP1 gene are reduced in rat mammary tumors-induced by ionizing radiation, BRIP1 may play important roles in radiation-induced mammary tumorigenesis.
