Secretion of a fibronectin-like substance from head and neck carcinomas.

The secretion of a fibronectin-like substance in culture supernatants of cell lines of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas was observed. Culture supernatants of some tumor cells had a high cell-attachment activity. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with an antifibronectin antibody showed that the supernatant with cell attachment activity contained fibronectin. Furthermore, the cell attachment activity was clearly inhibited by the addition of a monoclonal antibody to fibronectin. These findings strongly suggest that the fibronectin produced by cancer cells is one of the potent mediators of the cell attachment.[1]
