The recognition and interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM) effects the normal physiology as well as the pathology of all multicellular organisms. These interactions have been shown to influence the growth, development, and maintenance of normal tissue function. In previous studies, we have shown that neonatal cardiac myocytes specifically interacts with a variety of ECM components including fibronectin, laminin, and collagens I, III and IV. Culturing neonatal myocytes on laminin and collagen IV induces an increased rate of both cell spreading and sarcomerogenesis.

The behavior of embryonic murine lung cells on a basement membrane extract (Matrigel) was investigated. Single cell suspensions generated by trypsinization of lungs removed from day 12 embryos were plated on Matrigel and cultured for up to one week. The basement membrane extract was used as a gel, and as a wet or dried film. In all of these instances, organotypic arrangement of the embryonic lung cells was observed. This process consisted of cell aggregation, sorting, polarization and formation of a tridimensional organization resembling embryonic lung. The maximal degree of organotypic development was obtained by using a thick gel; minimal reorganization was observed using a dried film. A rabbit polyclonal serum to laminin inhibited organotypic pattern formation while normal rabbit serum did not. Culture of lung cells on laminin gels promoted epithelial cyst formation but poor mesenchymal organization. By studying the behavior of epithelial and/or mesenchymal enriched cell populations on Matrigel, it was concluded that organotypic pattern formation on Matrigel required the presence of both cell populations. Cultivation of dissociated lung cells on a gel consisting of a mixture of collagens type I and III (Vitrogen-100) produced only cell aggregation. Cultivation of lung cells on a thin film of Vitrogen-100 or on uncoated tissue culture plastic produced monolayers of mesenchymal cells alone. Cultivation of lung cells in suspension also failed to induce organotypic arrangement even at maximal cell densities. The present study strongly supports a role for the basement membrane in the organotypic rearrangement of embryonic lung cells and subsequent in vitro cyst formation and budding of the reestablished epithelium. This, in turn, reinforces the concept of the basement membrane as a major regulator of organogenesis.

Bone sialoprotein (BSP) has become a target in breast cancer research as it is associated with tumor progression and metastasis. The mechanisms underlying the regulation of BSP expression have been largely elusive. Given that BSP is involved in the homing of cancer cells in bone metastatic niches, we addressed regulatory effects of proteolytic cleavage and extracellular matrix components on BSP expression and distribution in cell culture models. Therefore, MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were kept in 2D and 3D spheroid cultures and exposed to basement membrane extract in the presence or absence of matrix metalloproteinase 9 or the non-polar protease, dispase. Confocal imaging of immunofluorescence samples stained with different antibodies against human BSP demonstrated a strong inducing effect of basement membrane extract on anti-BSP immunofluorescence. Similarly, protease incubation led to acute upregulation of anti-BSP immunofluorescence signals, which was blocked by cycloheximide, suggesting de novo formation of BSP. In summary, our data show that extracellular matrix components play an important function in regulating BSP expression and hint at mechanisms for the formation of bone-associated metastasis in breast cancer that might involve local control of BSP levels by extracellular matrix degradation and release of growth factors.
