A transplantable carcinoma of the rat pancreas that is composed of cytologically differentiated acinar cells that have lost their epithelial orientation and do not form acini was studied. Light microscopy shows consistent palisading, reorientation and polarization of these cells in areas of contact with the vasculature. EM reveals a normal basal lamina (BL) along the basal portions of repolarized tumor cells that is physically separate from the endothelial BL. Indirect immunofluorescence was used to examine the distribution of BL constituents, laminin (LM) and type IV collagen (type IV) within the different microenvironments of this tumor. In normal pancreas, Lm and type IV are distributed linearly, outlining acini and blood vessels. In the tumor parenchyma type IV is not detected, whereas Lm appears in a punctate distribution outlining cells. Reorientation of tumor cells is observed only along linearly deposited Lm and type IV bordering vessels. This nonmetastatic tumor has apparently lost the ability to produce or maintain a complete BL within its disorganized parenchyma, while its cells retain the capacity to produce and reorganize along linear BL when in contact with vascular adventitia. Failure to maintain a complete BL may be involved in the neoplastic disorganization of normal tissue architecture as well as in the breakdown of boundaries during the development of invasive carcinomata.
