Spheroidal cell aggregates were prepared from four tumorigenic human breast cell lines (HBL-100 and three MCF-7 variants). Cells from these aggregates were allowed to migrate towards lanes of basement membrane components coated on a glass substratum. Matrigel (reconstituted basement membrane) lanes permanently arrested the migration of one MCF-7 cell line, while migration of the others was permitted. Amongst several purified basement membrane constituents only laminin, not collagen type IV or fibronectin, was found to cause the same arrest of migration. Within the laminin molecule only the pepsin P1, not the elastase E8 fragment, efficiently arrested migration of that cell line. Although migration was inhibited by these components, time-lapse video recordings revealed that arrested cells still proliferated and actively ruffled on top of the coatings. These data suggest that, amongst several basement membrane components, laminin can function as a stop signal for cell migration. Within laminin, this activity seems to be mainly associated with the P1 fragment. We conclude that laminin is the major determinant of the barrier-function of the basement membrane, to which some cell types have become insensitive.
