Abstract
Metastasis of epithelial tumor cells can be associated with the acquisition of fibroblastoid features and the ability to invade stroma and blood vessels. Using matched in vivo and in vitro culture systems employing fully polarized, mammary epithelial cells, we report here that TGF-beta1 brings about these changes in Ras-transformed cells but not in normal cells. When grown in collagen gels in the absence of TGF-beta, both normal and Ras-transformed mammary epithelial cells form organ-like structures in which the cells maintain their epithelial characteristics. Under these conditions, treatment of normal cells with TGF-beta results in growth arrest. The same treatment renders Ras-transformed epithelial cells fibroblastoid, invasive, and resistant to growth inhibition by TGF-beta. After this epithelial-fibroblastoid conversion, the Ras-transformed cells start to secrete TGF-beta themselves, leading to autocrine maintenance of the invasive phenotype and recruitment of additional cells to become fibroblastoid and invasive. More important, this cooperation of activated Ha-Ras with TGF-beta1 is operative during in vivo tumorigenesis and, as in wound healing processes, is dependent on epithelial-stromal interactions.
