Notizen:
The deposition of the basement membrane glycoproteins, laminin, fibronectin, and type IV procollagen was studied by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy during the attachment and differentiation of murine C-1300 neuroblastoma cells. A typical cytoplasmic perinuclear staining for the basement membrane antigens was seen both in undifferentiated and differentiated cells. Freshly seeded suspended cells lacked surface fluorescence but in two hours after plating, distinct punctate laminin deposits became discernible on the ventral surface of the cells. Notably, in sparsely seeded undifferentiated cultures, the cell-associated extracellular laminin deposits could only be detected under the primary attaching cells, whereas daughter cells in clonal cell colonies lacked such fluorescence. In cultures induced to neurite formation with dibutyryl cyclic AMP, laminin deposition was also detected in association with the growing cytoplasmic extensions. No distinct differences were found between the secreted proteins of cultures of differentiated and nondifferentiated neuroblastoma cells, but the patterns of fucosylation of high-molecular weight proteins in the two cultures were markedly different.We conclude that cultured neuroblastoma cells both synthesize, secrete and deposit laminin. The distribution of laminin during neuroblastoma cell attachment and neurite extension suggests that this glycoprotein may be involved in cell-to-substratum interactions in C-1300 cell cultures.
