To obtain detailed information about the histological changes occurring in the mouse nipple during the reproductive cycle, we examined and quantified the S-phase of cell by immunohistochemical staining with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), and analysed histologically the subepithelial fibrous elements. The nipple markedly increased in size dramatically on days 15-18 of pregnancy. The densities of cells in the epidermis and dermis were very high during the early stages of pregnancy but low during lactation. In the epithelium of the lactiferous sinus, the densities of cells did not differ significantly among stages. The BrdU antibody labeling revealed a number of BrdU-positive cells in the basal layer of the epidermis and epithelium of the lactiferous sinus. The ratios of BrdU-positive cells to total cells in the epidermis and the epithelium of the lactiferous sinus were highest on day 15 and day 10 of pregnancy, respectively. After lactation, however, the ratios were similar to those in the virgin stage. No significant differences were detected in the dermis among all stages. The number of collagen and elastic fibers increased during lactation. These results indicate that cells in the epidermis and lactiferous sinus proliferated actively from day 10 to day 15 of pregnancy. The observation that cellular proliferation in the epithelial system of the nipple was stimulated at the early stage of pregnancy, while the dermis has two growth phases, with cellular proliferation during pregnancy and an increase in extracellular matrix during lacation, suggests that these two phenomena might be regulated by different factors.
