Sympathetic innervation, norepinephrine content, and norepinephrine turnover in orthotopic and spontaneous models of breast cancer

Highlights • TH+ nerves and NE turnover are demonstrated in murine mammary tumors. • TH+ nerves are restricted to the tumor periphery. • Sympathetic nerves are a major source of norepinephrine within mammary tumors. • Stressor exposure increased mammary tumor NE turnover. • Stressor exposure may reg...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • TH+ nerves and NE turnover are demonstrated in murine mammary tumors. • TH+ nerves are restricted to the tumor periphery. • Sympathetic nerves are a major source of norepinephrine within mammary tumors. • Stressor exposure increased mammary tumor NE turnover. • Stressor exposure may regulate mammary tumor progression by local NE release.
