Cell migration through three-dimensional gels of native collagen fibres: collagenolytic activity is not required for the migration of two permanent cell lines.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three dimensional gels of native type I collagen fibres have been used as a substratum for the growth and migration of Chinese hamster ovary cells (fibroblastoid cell line) and RPMI-3460 melanoma cells (tumorigenic cell line from Syrian hamster). Quantitative data concerning the migration of these cells from the gel surface into the 3-dimensional collagen gel matrix have been obtained. The migration of both cell types into the collagen gel matrix is not accompanied by the degradation of collagen fibres. The possible implications of these observations for tumour cell invasion in vivo are discussed.

The effects of fibronectin on the migration of human foreskin fibroblasts and Syrian hamster melanoma cells into three-dimensional gels of native collagen fibres.
The effects of fibronectin on the migration of human skin fibroblasts and Syrian hamster melanoma cells into 3-dimensional gels of native collagen fibres have been examined. Cell migration into the 3-dimensional gel was measured by plating cells on the gel surface and then determining the percentage of cells within the gel at various times thereafter by direct microscopic examination. We find t...
متن کاملThe effects of fibronectin on the adhesion and migration of chinese hamster ovary cells on collagen substrata.
Data are presented indicating that the adhesion of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) to films of denatured type I collagen occurs by a fibronectin-dependent mechanism, whereas the adhesion of these cells to 3-dimensional gels of native type I collagen fibres may occur by either a rapid, fibronectin-dependent mechanism or by a slower, fibronectin-independent mechanism, whereas the adhesion of th...

Lymphocytes have been plated onto the surface of three-dimensional gels of native collagen fibers, and their distribution throughout the three-dimensional collagen matrix has been determined in a quantitative fashion at various times thereafter. Information regarding the total number of applied cells may be obtained by this means. Lymphocyte penetration into the collagen gel does not appear to ...
متن کاملI-18: Avian Chimeras and Germ Cell Migration
Background: In avian species, the germ line stem cell population arises outside of the embryonic gonad and proceeds on a circuitous migration to the germinal epithelium. Specifically, in the avian embryo, the process of germ line stem cell migration proceeds through a series of active and passive migratory phases. The germline stem cells or primordial germ cells (PGCs) located in the epiblast o...
