We investigated the effect of hepatocyte-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) on the expression of erb-B2 and erb-B3 in colon cancer cell lines, as well as the role of erb-B2 and erb-B3 in colon cancer cell proliferation. Colon cancer cell lines plated on hepatocyte-derived ECM had increased protein levels of both erb-B2 and erb-B3. The addition of soluble recombinant proteoglycan syndecan-4 also resulted in higher expression of erb-B2 and erb-B3. We prepared hepatocyte-derived ECM from 1 to 7 days' cultures of hepatocytes, which contained different amounts of sulfated glycosaminoglycans. There was a direct correlation between the amounts of sulfated glycosaminoglycans in the ECM and the levels of erb-B2 and erb-B3 in the colon cell line KM12. The stimulatory effect of hepatocyte-derived ECM was abolished when the colon cancer cells were cultured in the presence of antibodies to erb-B2. These studies show that hepatocyte-derived ECM and the heparan sulfate proteoglycans present in it are responsible for inducing erb-B2 and erb-B3 in colon cancer cells. The growth stimulatory effect of extracellular matrix is mediated, at least in part, by increased expression of erb-B2 and erb-B3.
