Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) serves important attachment functions during organogenesis
in mammalian species. When layered on a plastic surface, ECM extracted from the rat
lung, liver, or kidney enhances the attachment of C1300 murine neuroblastoma cells
to that surface. Enhanced attachment to ECM by these cells correlates with their potential
to form metastatic deposits in vivo. Conversely, neuroblastoma cells selected for
increased metastatic potential by in vivo passaging demonstrate enhanced attachment
to organ-derived ECM. However, although ECM provides attachment sites for these murine
neuroblastoma cells, the attachment is not preferential for any of the organ ECMs
tested (lung, liver, kidney). Histopathologic examination of the murine liver, lungs,
and kidneys performed 20 to 22 days after intravenous inoculation of C1300 cells reveals
notable metastatic seeding in each of these organs, but the liver clearly exhibits
a greater degree of replacement by tumor metastases than the lungs or the kidneys.
Therefore, the data from the attachment assays, coupled with the histopathologic findings
obtained after tumor inoculation, suggest that although the ability to attach to ECM
correlates with metastatic potential, additional factors are important in determining
the preferential pattern of metastatic disease observed in murine neuroblastoma.
