The in vitro adhesion rates of rat 13762NF mammary adenocarcinoma cell clones of different spontaneous metastatic potentials to cloned microvessel endothelial cell monolayers and their subendothelial extracellular matrix were investigated. In this system, high rates of adhesion of the cloned tumor cell lines to syngeneic target (lung) organ-derived subendothelial matrix correlated with spontaneous metastatic potential, whereas adhesion to the lung microvessel endothelial cell apical surfaces occurred at lower rates and was not highly significantly different among the tumor cell lines. Adhesion rates to bovine aortic large vessel, and human brain and human meningeal microvessel endothelial cell monolayers were, in general, lower than those found with syngeneic lung microvessel endothelial cells, and did not correlate with spontaneous metastatic potential. Growth of endothelial cells in fetal bovine serum or platelet-poor horse serum did not affect the results, suggesting that in this system metastasis-associated organ-adhesive specificity is determined at the level of the subendothelial matrix.
