title: Modulation of extracellular matrix glycoproteins production by in vitro interacting conditions between rat colonic fibroblasts and tumoral cells.
abstract: Mixed cultures of fibroblasts with rat colon carcinoma cell lines were used to investigate the production of extracellular matrix glycoproteins. Tumoral cells were shown to influence their production in different ways depending on the cell clone (PROb cells which in vivo produce progressive tumors and REGb cells which produce regressive ones) but also on the relative proportions of stromal and tumoral cells. When fibroblasts were predominant, the REGb cells containing mixture produced higher levels of all protein studied as compared with the PROb cells containing system. When the situation was reversed in favor of tumoral cells, REGb cells containing cocultures still produced more fibronectin, laminin and undulin, but the difference with PROb ones was reduced. On the opposite, cocultures enriched with PROb cells made more entactin and SPARC and approximately equal amounts of tenascin.
