Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To elucidate the initial step of hematogenous metastasis of tumors, we hypothesized that migration of tumor cells might be directed by extracellular gradients of metabolic substrates/metabolites particularly by oxygen and/or H+. We first developed a novel technique to produce metabolic gradients in monolayers of cultured cell (MDA-MB-231 cells) in which cell migrations can be tracked for up to 24 hrs. We found significant directional migrations of the cell toward higher oxygen concentration or lower H+ concentration. These directional migrations were demonstrated in unphysiologically high oxygen concentrations (eg. 21%) while changes in extracellular H+ gradients in physiological ranges appeared to affect the directionality. From these results, we conclude that migrations of MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro seem to be directed by extracellular pH gradients.
