Type IV collagen is a major protein component of the vascular basement membrane and its degradation is crucial to the initiation of tumor-associated angiogenesis. The authors have investigated the influence of cell density on the release of collagen type IV degrading activity by C6 astrocytoma cells in monolayer culture. The release of collagen type IV degrading activity was assessed biochemically, immunocytochemically, and by Western blot analysis. The results demonstrate that increasing plating density and increasing cell density are associated with decreased collagen type IV degrading activity released per tumor cell. These findings indicate the existence of regulatory mechanisms dependent on cell-cell communication, which modulate release of collagen type IV degrading activity. The extrapolation of these results to the in vivo tumor microenvironment would suggest that individual and/or small groups of invading tumor cells, distant from the main tumor mass, would release substantial collagen type IV degrading activity, which may be crucial to their continued invasion and to angiogenesis.
