Previously, we have shown that the embryonic corneal epithelium is capable of interacting with exogenous collagen, laminin, and fibronectin in soluble form, each of which causes isolated epithelium cultured on Millipore filter to stop blebbing, reorganize the basal cytoskeleton, and flatten. Here we examine the involvement of endogenously derived extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules in the interaction of the basal epithelial cell surface with the added ECM molecules. We demonstrate here that the isolated avian corneal epithelium cultured on Millipore filter is capable of synthesizing collagens and laminin, but not fibronectin. To examine whether the epithelium is capable of interacting directly with exogenous ECM components or if there is the necessity for production of a linker molecule, epithelial protein synthesis was inhibited with cycloheximide (CHX). The blebbing epithelium in the presence of CHX was then confronted with soluble ECM molecules added to the medium under the filter; such epithelia are able to interact with, and flatten in response to, both collagen and laminin. However, such inhibited epithelia continue to bled in the presence of fibronectin. We next usedl-azetidine-4-carboxylic acid (LACA) to interfere with collagen secretion. Epithelia exposed to LACA are still capable of interacting with collagen and laminin, but not fibronectin, indicating a dependence on collagen secretion. These results suggest that fibronectin requires a linker protein, probably collagen, to interact with the basal epithelial surface, whereas both collagen and laminin may interact directly with the cell surface to transform the basal cytoskeleton into the cortical mat typical of differentiating corneal epitheliumin situ.
