Transcriptome analysis of basal and luminal cells treatment with baicalin

Baicalin is the main flavonoid component extracted from Scutellaria root. It has multiple potent biological activities, including estrogen-like activity. In our study, we investigated the function of baicalin on mammary stem cell proliferation and mammary development. Our results demonstrated that baicalin significantly accelerates mammary gland development at puberty and during pregnancy; In vitro, baicalin significantly promotes colony formation ability of mammary basal epithelial cells in a three-dimensional (3D) culture system; In vivo, baicalin improved mammary regeneration efficiency in mouse xenograft model. But the mechanism was unknown. Therefore, transcriptome analysis of basal and luminal cells treatment with baicalin was performed. Overall design: Examination the different mRNA level in basal and luminal cells treatment with baicalin
