The effects of tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on the growth characteristics of the colon cancer cell line HT-29 M6 were studied. TPA induced the scattering of proliferative HT-29 M6 cells: in the presence of the phorbol ester, HT-29 M6 colonies scattered and the cells acquired a flatter aspect with diminished cell-cell contacts. This effect of TPA required a persistent activation of PK-C and was accompanied by a slight decrease (30%) in the growth rate. Modifications by TPA of two scattering associated properties of these cells were also detected: TPA decreased cell-to-cell aggregation and enhanced the cellular attachment to matrix substrata (collagen, laminin). The decrease in cell-to-cell adhesion was correlated with a loss of cellular E-cadherin as evidenced by immunofluorescence or immunoblotting with a specific monoclonal antibody. Cell scattering was dependent on the extracellular concentration of Ca2+; an increase from 1.6 to 10 mM in the concentration of this ion completely blocked the morphological effects of TPA as well as its action on cell aggregation. This high concentration of Ca2+ also prevented the down modulation of E-cadherin as determined by immunofluorescence. However, the TPA-induced increase in cell attachment to the matrix was not affected by high calcium. These findings support the importance of altered cell-cell adhesion in the process of scattering and provide a good system for the study of down modulation of E-cadherin, a protein involved in the control of cell growth, differentiation and invasion of epithelial cells.
