Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key regulator of tissue morphogenesis and functional differentiation in the mammary gland. We showed recently that laminin-111 (LN1) together with prolactin induces β-casein expression in mammary epithelial cells (MECs) by sustaining STAT5 activation. Others have shown that Rac1 is required for integrin-mediated STAT5 activation, but molecules upstream of Rac1 remain to be elucidated. Here, we show that exposure to three-dimensional (3D) laminin-rich ECM (LrECM) gels changes the localization of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in MECs from diffuse to basal accompanied with the activation of PI3K-Rac1 signaling pathway. We show by co-immunoprecipitation that Rac1 associates with STAT5, and that LrECM treatment enhances this interaction. Blocking PI3K with LY294002 inhibits LrECM-dependent Rac1 activation, attenuates sustained STAT5 phosphorylation and blocks β-casein gene transcription. These results indicate that PI3K is a key mediator of the LN1-induced signaling cascade which controls the activity of transcription factors essential for tissue-specific gene expression.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
