Formation and migration of cushion tissue in the developing chick heart was analyzed by scanning and high-voltage electron microscopic stereoanalysis. Two methods of fixation which enhance the preservation of water-soluble components of the extracellular matrix (cardiac jelly) were employed: 1% tannic acid in 3% glutaraldehyde (TAG) and 1% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in 3% glutaraldehyde. Our results indicated that the preservation of the cell: matrix interaction exhibited by endocardial cells and migrating cushion tissue is dependent upon the method of fixation. In TAG-fixed embryos, filopodial extensions from the endocardium as well as filopodia of pioneering cells are most often associated with microfibrillar components of the matrix, whereas in CPC-fixed material these same cellular extensions are found in association with pleomorphic anastomosing strands rich in hyaluronate. Following these initial cell:matrix interactions by both the endocardium and pioneering cells, trailing cells invade the extracellular matrical region and clearly encounter in both types of fixation a different microenvironment in which to engage in cell:matrical associations. These observations support the hypothesis that filopodial probing by endocardial cells and pioneering cells results in macromolecular reorderings of the matrix and thus suggest an additional function for filopodia beyond translocation of the cells.
