Effects of media conditioned by a non-metastasizing human salivary gland adenocarcinoma cell clone and metastasizing clones from salivary gland and various other tissues on the proliferation, migration and protease production of bovine aortic endothelial cells in vitro.
We demonstrate the role in tumor-associated angiogenesis of factors released into conditioned medium (CM) from in vitro human salivary gland cell clones with biological phenotypes ranging from non-metastasizing to metastasizing. A non-metastasizing human salivary gland adenocarcinoma cell clone HSGc and its subclone with metastatic potential (Gc2-100 cl-1) were employed. We also used metastasizing cell clones obtained by explant cultures of organs of Gc2-100 cl-1 tumor-bearing nude mouse. The proliferation and migration of bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells were significantly stimulated by the addition of CM obtained from Gc2-100 cl-1 and metastasizing cell clones, while CM from HSGc was ineffective. When the effect on protease secretion by BAE cells was examined, CM from Gc2-100 cl-1 and metastasizing cell clones inhibited the secretion of type IV collagenases by BAE cells much more than did CM from HSGc. These findings, therefore, may imply that Gc2-100 cl-1 and metastasizing cell clones secrete angiogenic factors that stimulate not only the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells but also the formation of basement membrane components necessary for the reconstruction of new blood vessels at migrated sites of endothelial cells by preventing the degradation of basement membrane component, type IV collagen.
