Two metastatic cell lines, mouse B16-FI melanoma and human Hs939 melanoma, were examined for their abilities to adhere to confluent vascular endothelial cell monolayers and to the underlying endothelial extracellular matrix. Tumor cells attached slowly to the endothelial cell monolayers while they adhered rapidly to isolated extracellular matrix. When analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecylsulfate soltions, the extracellular matrix was primarily composed of a protein of identical migration and MW to fibronectin. Tumor-cell adhesion to fibronectin-coated polyvinyl surfaces mimicked the rapid rate of attachment of tumor cells to extracellular matrix and tumor cells adherent to extracellular matrix or fibronectin-coated polyvinyl dishes adopted an unusual, highly spread and flattened morphology with numerous small projections. Fibronectin associated with the endothelial basement membrane may be, in part, responsible for establishing an adhesive gradient that could be important in malignant cell extravasation.
