title: Characteristics of high and low laminin-adherent Dunn osteosarcoma cells selected by adhesiveness to laminin. Correlation between invasiveness through the extracellular matrix and pulmonary metastatic potential.
abstract: We investigated the invasiveness through the extracellular matrix and pulmonary metastatic potential in high laminin-adherent [LN(+)] and low laminin-adherent [LN(-)] Dunn oseosarcoma cells selected for adhesiveness to laminin. In the invasion assay using a reconstituted basement membrane (matrigel) in a Boyden chamber, LN(+) cells proved to be more invasive than LN(-) and the parental Dunn cells. Pulmonary metastatic potential was correlated with invasiveness through the matrigel in three cell types. The ability of LN(+) cells to attach to laminin and the matrigel was significantly higher than that of LN(-) or the parental Dunn cells. LN(-) cells showed much lower attachment ability compared to the other cells. There were no significant differences in type IV collagenolysis and cell migration among the three cell types. In LN(+) and the parental Dunn cells, laminin significantly stimulated type IV collagenolytic and migration activities. LN(-) cells showed no significant differences of type IV collagenolysis and cell migration in response to laminin. These findings suggested that the different invasiveness of these cells was associated with the difference in the abilities of cell attachment to laminin and type IV collagenolysis and cell migration activities stimulated by laminin. YIGSR inhibited not only the laminin-mediated cell attachment but also the type IV collagenolysis and cell migration induced by the cell attachment to laminin. The amount of laminin receptor of LN(+) cells was about fourfold that of LN(-) and twofold that of the parental Dunn cells, suggesting the stimulatory effect of laminin on the invasiveness through the matrix is associated with the level of laminin receptor expression in these cells. The present study provides several findings suggesting that laminin has important roles in invasiveness through the extracellular matrix and metastasis formation in Dunn osteosarcoma cells.
