The growth of normal and neoplastic mouse mammary cells was compared in primary cultures on plastic, on rat tail collagen gels and in rat tail collagen gels. Cells on plastic grew for the first few days, then stopped with only a 1- to 3-fold increase in cell number after 2 wk in culture. Cells grown on or in collagen gels grew continuously over the 2-wk culture period with up to 10-fold increase in cell number of cultures on collagen gels and a 20-fold increase for cells embedded in collagen gels. The difference in growth rates between cells grown in collagen gel and those grown on collagen gels was explained. Cells grown on and in collagen gel can produce an electron-dense basal lamina-like structure which is associated with collagen IV and laminin as judged by immunofluorescence. Cells grown on plastic do not form this structure. Cis-OH-proline blocks the production of collagen and inhibits the growth of the cultured cells, indicating collagen production to be involved in growth. Rat tail collagen gels are a superior substratum for the growth of mouse mammary cells and this may be related to the cells'' ability to form a collagen IV-containing basal lamina-like structure.
