Abstract
The role of extracellular matrix as a modulator of cell behavior is widely accepted and is currently under intensive study by a number of investigators using diverse cell, tissue, and organ culture systems.10,34 Several general findings have emerged from this work, namely, that cell behavior is dramatically different when cells are grown and maintained on extracellular matrix as compared to tissue culture plastic or glass; and that cell behavior can be modulated, depending on the composition and organization of the matrix component(s) or tissue used.35 For example, in recent studies Lwebuga-Mukasa et al. have demonstrated that cultured type II pneumocytes exhibit variable behavior patterns, depending on the nature of the underlying matrix on which they are cultured. When cultured on the stromal aspect of the acellular amnionic membrane, these cells appear flattened, having few cytoplasmic lamellar bodies, basolateral junctional complexes, and apical microvilli. In contrast, when cultured on the basement membrane surface of the amnion, they maintain their cuboidal morphology and have abundant microvilli, basolateral junctional complexes, and cytoplasmic lamellar bodies.21,22 Additionally, in both instances the cultured cells produce a basal lamina-like structure. Conversely, when cultured and maintained on an acellular pulmonary basement membrane, these cells do not synthesize a basal lamina. With time they become flattened and attenuated, losing their cytoplasmic lamellar bodies and apical microvilli but maintaining their basolateral junctional complexes, suggesting a “differentiation” into type I pneumocytes.22 As a further example, Ingber et al. have studied the effects of extracellular matrix on the behavior of rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. This tumor exhibits cytodifferentiation in vivo when closely associated with vascular or peritoneal connective tissue, suggesting the possibility
