The attachment and detachment behavior of three mouse fibroblast cell lines adhering to plastic tissue culture substrata coated with the serum protein cold-insoluble globulin (CIg) resembles that seen on the usual serum-coated substrata. The transformed cell line SVT2 spreads more extensively on the CIg-coated than on the serum-coated substratum, while the nontransformed Balb/c 3T3 line and concanavalin A-selected "revertant" of SVT2 are equally well spread on both substrata. In all three cases, immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies to CIg suggests that the cells are more tightly apposed to the CIg-coated substratum than to the serum-coated substratum. Substrate-attached material (SAM), which contains cell-substratum adhesion sites and which is left after EGTA-mediated detachment of cells, is enriched for cell surface fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans (GAG). When cells are seeded onto CIg-coated substrata rather than serum-coated substrata, there is an increased deposition of GAG but a comparable deposition of cellular proteins. The protein distribution of the two types of SAM are identical as analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, including fibronectin content. This indicates that substratum-bound CIg cannot functionally substitute for cell surface fibronectin in these adhesion sites. Analysis of the GAG deposited on CIg-coated substrata reveals that hyaluronate and the chondroitins are increased to a much greater extent than heparan sulfate; however, the ratio of hyaluronate to the various chondroitin species is invariant. These data provide further evidence that hyaluronate and the chondroitins are deposited in adhesion sites in well-defined stoichiometric proportions, possibly as supramolecular complexes, and that CIg may mediate adhesion of cells in the serum layer by binding to GAG-containing proteoglycans.
