A unique characteristic of astrocytic malignancies is their frequent dissemination through the brain. Cellular determinants of migration include adhesion to the substratum, restructuring of the actin cytoskeleton to generate motion, and (in the setting of invasion into tissue) secretion of enzymes for remodeling interstitial space to accommodate forward motion of the migrating cell. In order to better understand these features in the context of local brain invasion by astrocytoma cells, the adhesion and migratory properties of these cells have been investigated in an in vitro monolayer system. Adhesion of 8 different astrocytoma cell lines to different purified human extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins (collagen type IV, cellular fibronectin, laminin, and vitronectin) revealed that there is no "astrocytoma-specific" ECM protein that consistently leads to high cell binding. Similarly, migration of astrocytoma cells was found to be variable and dependent on different ECM proteins. Laminin was frequently the most permissive for adhesion and migration. Adhesion to collagen, fibronectin, and vitronectin was integrin dependent and could be blocked using anti-ß1 integrin antibodies; in contrast, attachment to laminin could not be blocked using these antibodies. A comparison of adhesion with migration for each of the cell lines on each of the 4 ECM proteins revealed that poor adhesion was associated with minimal migration and that frequently, high adhesion was correlated with rapid migration. When tested for migration on autologous, cell-derived ECM, none of the cell lines were as migratory as they were on one of the purified ECM proteins, with the exception of SF767 cells. Furthermore, it was found that ECM from SF767 cells promoted the migration of other astrocytoma cells. The results from this study indicate that migration is a constitutive behavior of glioma cells which is dependent on, or modified by, the presence or absence of permissive ligands in the environment.
