The invasiveness of MCF-7 human mammary carcinoma cells was tested in vitro via confronting cultures with embryonic chick heart fragments. Invasive (e.g. MCF-7/6) and non-invasive (e.g. MCF-7/AZ) variants were detected. Automated image analysis of time-lapse video-microscopy recordings showed that the plasma membrane ruffling activity of the invasive MCF-7/6 variant was higher than the ruffling activity of the non-invasive MCF-7/AZ variant. Addition of all-trans-retinoic acid to the culture medium (10(-6) M) inhibited both invasion and ruffling of MCF-7/6 cells, while MCF-7/AZ cells became invasive and acquired an increased ruffling by the same type of treatment. A similar opposite effect on MCF-7 cells was not found after treatment with other ligands of the nuclear steroid/thyroid receptor superfamily. Triiodo-l-thyronine (up to 10(-5) M) and beta-oestradiol (up to 10(-6) M) did not alter the invasiveness of the cells, while dexamethasone (10(-6) M) and the pure anti-oestrogen ICI 164,384 inhibited both invasion and ruffling. Our data show that retinoic acid can modulate invasiveness in opposite directions.
