Influence of collagen substrata on glycosaminoglycan production by B16 melanoma cells.

Abstract

A cloned metastatic murine melanoma cell line exhibited similar growth characteristics when propagated on either type I collagen, type IV collagen, or plastic. However, cells grown on both types of collagen exhibited an altered cellular morphology and on type IV collagen only, an increased substrate adhesiveness, relative to those maintained on a plastic substratum. Incorporation of [3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate into glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of cells grown on collagen substrates was 20% and 40% less, respectively, than cells grown on plastic, whereas degradation of cell-associated [35S]sulfate-labeled GAGs was similar in cells grown on collagen or plastic. Although the composition of GAGs was similar in all cultures, consisting of approximately 60% chondroitin and 40% heparin or heparan sulfate, the degree of sulfation of the heparin or heparan sulfate molecules was markedly decreased in cultures grown on collagen. The results indicate that the composition of the extracellular matrix influences the biological behavior of B16 melanoma cells, in part by altering the amount and nature of the GAG molecules produced.
