چکیده

Several cell surface properties of three B16 melanoma var iant lines, which exhibit differing lung-colonizing capacities, have been examined. Equal numbers of cells from the B16F10Lr and B16-F1 lines, injected i.v. into syngeneic mice, produced significantly fewer lung nodules than did cells of the B16-F10 line. These wide differences in biological behavior could not, however, be ascribed to major qualitative differences in the cell surface properties studied. The 3 cell lines displayed similar quantitative and qualitative patterns of exposed surface proteins. The quantity of radioac tive labeling of the major sialoglycoprotein (78,000 dallons) was inversely proportional to the capacity of cells to produce lung tumor colonies. Lectin-binding assays revealed that B16F10Lr cells bound 50% less concanavalin A than did the B16F1 or B16-F10 cells; the B16-F10 cells bound 40% less wheat germ agglutinin than did the B16-F1 or B16-F10Lr cells. Levels of 5'-nucleotidase activity were lower in B16-F10 cells than in B16-F1 and B16-F10Lr cells. At the same time, there was no reduction in levels of the cytoplasm-associated enzyme, acid phosphatase. No differences in membrane lipid fluidity among the cell lines were detected by either fluorescent polarization or photobleaching techniques. The kinetics of adhesion of B16F10Lr and B16-F10 to a variety of substrates were very similar. The present data suggest that wide differences in metastatic behavior of B16 melanoma cells need not be correlated with major qualitative changes in a single cell surface biochemical or morphological characteristic.

Metastatic Potential Cell Surface Properties of B16 Melanoma Variants with Differing

Several cell surface properties of three B16 melanoma var iant lines, which exhibit differing lung-colonizing capacities, have been examined. Equal numbers of cells from the B16F10Lr and B16-F1 lines, injected i.v. into syngeneic mice, produced significantly fewer lung nodules than did cells of the B16-F10 line.

Expression of a Mr 41,000 glycoprotein associated with thrombin-independent platelet aggregation in high metastatic variants of murine B16 melanoma.

In the previous study, we generated a monoclonal antibody, 8F11, against NL-17, a high metastatic clone derived from a metastatic variant of murine colon adenocarcinoma 26. 8F11 inhibited platelet aggregation induced by NL-17 and recognized a Mr 44,000 membrane protein as antigen. In the present study, the reactivity of 8F11 to murine B16 melanoma and its metastatic variants was examined, and t...

Membrane lipids and enzymes of cultured high- and low-metastatic B16 melanoma variants.

B16 melanoma cell variants were used to determine if the metastatic properties of these cells could be correlated to distinct plasma membrane, microsome, and mitochondrial membrane lipid compositions and membrane-bound enzyme activities in high- and low-metastatic cell variants, respectively. The high-metastatic B16-F10 melanoma cell membranes had lower cholesterol/phospholipid ratios, lower ar...

Heterogeneity of protein phosphorylation in metastatic variants of B16 melanoma.

The polypeptide and phosphoprotein profiles of a spectrum of B16 melanoma clones of defined metastatic potential have been analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. To accommodate the documented instability of metastatic properties in B16 clones, in vitro biochemical assays were always accompanied by in vivo assays of the metastatic behavior using replicate samples of the same clonal pop...

Cell surface sialylation and tumor metastasis. Metastatic potential of B16 melanoma variants correlates with their relative numbers of specific penultimate oligosaccharide structures.

Numerous investigations suggest that cell surface glycoconjugates, and in particular sialic acids, are directly involved in determining the metastatic phenotype. To further evaluate this hypothesis, we have used a variety of techniques to probe the cell surfaces of several metastatic variants of the murine B16 melanoma that were selected for experimental lung-colonizing ability (Fidler, I. (197...
