摘要:
Motile activity of tumour cells is regarded as a critical factor determining their metastatic potential. We have shown previously that contrary to the majority of normal cells, homotypic contacts between some tumour cells, among them low metastatic (AT-2) and highly metastatic (MAT-LyLu) rat prostate cancer cells, increase the speed of their movements. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of heterotypic cell-to-cell contacts on the migration of rat prostate cancer cells differing in metastatic potential, and to correlate it with the intensity of homo- and heterologous gap junctional coupling.,MAT-LyLu and AT-2 cells moving on the surface of fibroblasts displayed significantly greater cell displacement than those moving on plastic substrata. This effect correlated with the polarization (contact guidance) and increased speed of cell movements. However, in contrast with the migration on plastic substrata, where MAT-LyLu cells displayed considerably higher motility than AT-2 cells, no differences between both cell lines were observed on the surface of fibroblasts. On the other hand, in contrast with AT-2, Mat-LyLu cells displayed extensive homologous coupling mediated by connexin43 and were able to couple with normal fibroblasts.,Heterotypic contacts between migrating prostatic cancer cells and normal fibroblasts can strongly stimulate their migration during invasion; however, this effect does not correlate with the gap junctional coupling between cancer cells and normal fibroblasts.
