Rodents are susceptible to the effects of chemical carcinogens and have been widely used in the study of mammary-gland carcinogenesis. However, little information is available regarding specific phenotypic changes that occur during mammary-gland carcinogenesis. In this study, subtraction hybridizati

Abstract
Mouse mammary tumors arising during medroxyprogesterone‐DMBA‐mediated mammary carcinogenesis comprised three distinct phenotypes: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and myoepithelial carcinoma. The molecular signature for each of the three tumor subsets was characterized by gene microarray analysis, and three distinct sets of gene expression profiles were obtained that were corroborated in part by quantitative RT‐PCR and immunohistochemistry. These results suggest that this carcinogenesis and gene expression model will be useful for rapidly assessing the histopathological differences arising in mammary carcinogenesis and the effects of tumor promoting or chemoprevention agents.

Recently, we described that melatonin reduces aromatase expression and activity in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, thus modulating the local estrogen bi
