BACKGROUND: Incomplete postmenopausal breast involution leaves persistent epithelial-rich lobules and elevated breast density in about 40% of women and is associated with higher breast cancer risk, but why remodelling stalls remains unclear.
METHODS: We studied a longitudinal cohort of 81 women with paired benign breast biopsies (baseline age 45-55 years; follow-up 2-10 years), all with baseline NanoString transcriptomics and two-timepoint digital morphometry, and with multiplex immunofluorescence in spatial-imaging subsets (baseline n = 14-16 depending on panel; follow-up n = 14). A separate postmenopausal endpoint cohort (12 women: eight noninvoluted, four completely involuted), profiled by genome-wide expression array and multiplex immunofluorescence, defined the persistent-lobule phenotype.
FINDINGS: Noninvoluted postmenopausal tissue retained a proliferation-competent, tumour-associated epithelial state and showed immune accumulation at lobular boundaries with reduced access to p16+ (senescence-associated) epithelial foci. The same SASP and innate immune programmes that predicted slower involution across the menopausal transition predicted faster involution after menopause. Follow-up boundary CD45→p16 engagement was directionally consistent with this reversal in Pre→Post and Post→Post women. Spatial imaging resolved this reversal into a perimenopausal stall architecture and a postmenopausal clearance-associated architecture marked by direct CD16+ innate-effector engagement of p16+ epithelium; macrophage targeting provided convergent support (two-sided exact permutation interaction p = 0.0077).
INTERPRETATION: Menopausal timing conditions whether senescent-immune programmes couple to productive clearance or to spatially uncoupled surveillance and persistent risk-associated tissue. Biomarker interpretation should therefore be anchored to menopausal timing.
