J Cell Sci. 115:2002;39-50 This and the paper by Runswick, et al. [40] describe the importance of myoepithelial cells in mammary epithelial acinus formation. This paper shows that myoepithelial cells polarize the acini because they are the source of laminin I synthesis. The authors also show that tumor myoepithelial cells are generally defective in this respect.

Cancer Cell. 2:2002;205-216 This paper shows that resistance to apoptotic agents in normal and malignant breast cells is radically different in 2D and 3D. It correlates with ECM composition, hemidesmosome-dependent polarity, and NFkB activation, but not with growth rate or the genetic make up of the cells.

The role of apoptosis in creating and maintaining luminal space within normal and oncogene-expressing mammary acini. Cell. 111:2002;29-40 The authors present evidence for mammary acini lumen formation in 3D BM by apoptosis of the centrally located cells. Oncogenes such as cyclin D1 or E7 by themselves do not cause luminal filling but co-expression of genes that combine proliferation with [65] apoptosis inhibitors, such as the previously studied ErbB2, counteract apoptosis and growth arrest, resulting in lumen filling.
