Using an automated cell analyzer system, the effect of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), endothelial acidic fibroblast growth factor (a-FGF), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), and recombinant human insulinlike growth factor (IGF) on the motility and morphology of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK), rat hepatomas, C2, and H5-6 and murine mammary carcinoma (EMT-6) cells was investigated. Treatment of MDCK cells with HGF/SF, bFGF, EGF, and a-FGF resulted in an increase in average cell velocity and in the fraction of moving cells. Cells treated with the PDGF and IGF did not show significant alterations in velocity. MDCK cells treated with each growth factor were classified into groups of "fast" and "slow" moving cells based on their average velocities, and the average morphologic features of the two groups were quantitated. Fast-moving cells had larger average area, circularity, and flatness as compared to slow-moving cells. Factors that stimulated cell movement also induced alterations in cell morphologic parameters including spreading, flatness, area, and circularity. HGF/SF also scattered and stimulated motility of C2 and H5-6 hepatoma cells. In contrast to MDCK cells, there was no significant difference between the morphology of the fast moving and slow moving C2 and H5-6 cells. These studies suggest that growth factor cytokines have specific effects on motility of normal and tumor cells.
