Résumé
Breast cancer (BCa) mortality is decreasing with early detection and improvement in therapies. The incidence of BCa, however, continues to increase, particularly estrogen-receptor-positive (ER +) subtypes. One of the greatest modifiers of ER + BCa risk is childbearing (parity), with BCa risk halved in young multiparous mothers. Despite convincing epidemiological data, the biology that underpins this protection remains unclear. Parity-induced protection has been postulated to be due to a decrease in mammary stem cells (MaSCs); however, reports to date have provided conflicting data. We have completed rigorous functional testing of repopulating activity in parous mice using unfractionated and MaSC (CD24 Here, we report that while repopulating activity in the mammary gland is reduced by parity in the unfractionated gland, it is not due to a loss in the classically defined MaSC (CD24 Our data show instead that parity impacts on the stem-like activity of cells outside the MaSC population.

We have completed rigorous functional testing of repopulating activity in parous mice using unfractionated and MaSC (CD24

Here, we report that while repopulating activity in the mammary gland is reduced by parity in the unfractionated gland, it is not due to a loss in the classically defined MaSC (CD24
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Our data show instead that parity impacts on the stem-like activity of cells outside the MaSC population.
