Tumour spread along periphad nerves is a common event in carcinoma at many anatomical sites, and represents an additional mechanism of met (LstBsis aAer lymphrtic ad haemrtogmous spread. Evidence su~ gesls that a distinctive mol& mechanism may be responsible for the tendency of tumours to spread in this way. We have devdoped a novel in vibo modd for the study of intaaCtions betweem hunour cdl l i and peripheral me tissue, and have previouSry shown that malipant oral epithdial cdls cultured on peripheral nerve tissue dons undcrgo a pronounced morphological Mwentiation towards a fibroblast-like appcdmnce. The cells typically become bipolar and extend long (10-2Opm) processes, closely aligned with the axon buqlles in the nerve. To invedgate the underlying molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon, biochemical manipdations of the nerve substratum and the medium composition have been carried out. The molecular interactions are sensitive to both proteolysis (trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain) and detergent extradon (Triton X-100, SDS) of the peripheral nerve sections prior to culture of the tumour cells. Both treatments lead to a significant, concentrationdependent inhibition of morphological differentiation. Culture of the cells in a calcium-free medium with the addition of EDTA (IOOphQ had no e&ct on morphological differentiation. The inclusion of erbstatin (ISpglmI), cytochnlasin D (lpg/mI) or cycloheximide (Spg/d) in the culturp medium inhibited morphological differentiation. We conclude that the morphofogicai differentiation of malignant oral epithelial cells in contact with peripheral nerve tissue involves a discrete moleatlar interaction between membrane-bound proteins in the ncrve and proteins on the surface of the tumour plls. This interaction is calcium-independent and leads to norgatisation of the actin cytoskelcton, signalled through an erbstatin-sensitive tyrosine kinsse and requiring & my0 protein synthesis. We hope to identify the molecules on the tumour cell surface that are involved in this form of differcntiatipn and to continue to define intracdlular mediators of the phmommon
