Abstract
Fibronectin (FN) is involved in various cellular activities such as adhesion, proliferation and migration as a substratum. Since the metabolic turnover of FN is much slower than other cellular components, it may be affected by the oxygen free radicals produced in the aging process. However, the effect of oxygen free radicals on FN as substratum in bone formation has not been well characterized. The objective of this study was to examine the effect on the bone forming activity of osteoblasts using an oxygen free radical treated FN substratum in vitro (H2O2-Cu2+system). SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and immuno-blotting analysis revealed that FN was degradated and/or modified by H2O2-Cu2+ (.OH) treatment. Bone nodule formation per well was examined for total number, total area and area per nodule, which data were then compared between non-coated and FN-coated, and between FN-coated and .OH treated FN-coated. Bone nodule formation in the FN-coated was significantly greater than in the non-coated. Furthermore, bone nodule formation in .OH treated FN-coated was significantly less than that of FN-coated. These findings suggested that FN plays important roles in osteoblast activity and that FN substratum damaged by the oxygen free radicals produced by the aging process may cause decline of bone nodule formation through inhibition of the proliferation, differentiation and calcification processes.

Abstract
The effect of the degradation of extracellular hyaluronan on the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts in serial cultures during in vitro aging was investigated. Human skin fibroblasts at different time intervals from 3rd to 36th passages were exposed after plating to bovine testicular hyaluronidase. The enzyme treatment resulted in an increase in cell proliferation (cell number vs. time) as compared to the untreated control fibroblasts. The effect was dose dependent, reversible, and was independent of the type of the glycosidic linkage cleaved in hyaluronan. The increased proliferation was observed at all passages when untreated cells underwent mitosis. The degradation of hyaluronan induced cell proliferation up to the presenescent phase. Depletion of hyaluronan did not induce proliferation of postmitotic fibroblasts. The incorporation of 3H-glucosamine into hyaluronan decreased with increasing cell passages (increase of the number of population doublings). Twenty-fourth passage fibroblasts accumulated about two time less hyaluronan in the medium than ninth passage cultures. Following hyaluronidase treatment, the amount of newly synthesized, labeled hyaluronan increased in the medium. Accordingly, the fibroblasts restored the degraded hyaluronan even in the declining phase of proliferation (phase III according to Hayflick).

Abstract
Regulation of the synthesis of procollagen and other extracellular matrix components was examined in human skin fibroblasts obtained from donors of various ages, from fetal to 80 years old (in vivo aged), and in fetal fibroblasts at varying passage levels (in vitro aged). Growth rates and saturation densities of fibroblasts decreased with increasing age of the donor and after passage 20 of fetal fibroblasts. The rates of collagen and proteoglycan synthesis also decreased during both types of aging to about 10-25% of the rate in early passage fetal fibroblasts, whereas the synthesis of total noncollagenous proteins was not greatly affected. Decreased collagen synthesis in both types of aging was correlated with lower steady-state levels of mRNAs for the two subunits of type I procollagen mRNA, although their regulation was not coordinate. Type III collagen mRNA levels also declined in both types of aging. The concentration of fibronectin mRNA also decreased during in vitro aging but more rapidly than the collagen mRNAs, whereas in fibroblasts from 51-80-year-old donors, it was similar to or higher than in early passage fetal fibroblasts. This study suggests that the decreased synthesis of procollagen and proteoglycans in in vivo aged fibroblasts represents changes that are responsible for intrinsic degenerative changes that occur in human skin during aging. Furthermore, although in vitro and in vivo aging were similar in many respects, they were not equivalent, as evidenced by the differences in regulation of fibronectin expression.

Abstract
Fibroblast secreted proteins participate in the formation of extracellular matrix. Extracellular matrix affects growth factor action, mediates cell adhesion and supports cell growth. Structural and quantitative characteristics of secreted proteins are modified in a similar manner, during both in vivo and in vitro cellular ageing. Such ageing related modifications may either be directly controlled by primary ageing causes, or evolve from a reformation of the extracellular matrix induced by a few ageing defects in key proteins such as fibronectin. They may result in the further inhibition of cell adhesion, cell stimulation by growth factors and, eventually, of cell proliferative ability.

Abstract
The electrophoretic mobility of 13 human diploid cell strains, TIG-1, TIG-2, TIG-3, TIG-7, WI-38, IMR-90, MRC-5, MRC-9, TIG-1H, TIG-1L, TIG-2M, TIG-2B, and TIG-3S, which were established from different tissues of human embryos, was studied at different passages. The net negative surface charge of the cells was characteristic for each cell strain and decreased significantly during the in vitro aging of the cells. The decrease in the net negative charge of the cells correlated well with the decrease in cell density throughout the life span of the cells. A strict linear correlation between the electrophoretic mobility and the number of cells harvested at each passage was obtained for all the human diploid cell strains. Moreover, almost the same linear regression coefficient of the cells was obtained among these cell strains. Therefore, the net negative surface charge of human diploid cell strains could serve as a cell surface marker for in vitro cellular aging.

Abstract
The fibronectin, collagen type I, and collagen type III genes code for three major proteins of the cell matrix. The age-related alterations in their expression were measured during the in vitro lifespan of pig skin fibroblasts. We observed changes in the transcription rate of these specific genes during ageing. The levels of fibronectin and type III collagen mRNA rose markedly during the senescence phase. The level of collagen type I mRNA decreased during cell ageing, while that of beta-actin did not change. As regards proteins, we observed a sharp increase in the secreted noncollagenous proteins and in the total proteins of the cell layer during senescence. On the contrary, the secretion of the collagenous proteins decreased during senescence. Moreover, most of the newly synthesized molecules of collagen were immediately degraded in the cells, before their extracellular secretion. The terminal phenotype of pig senescent cells was therefore characterized by overexpression of fibronectin and type III collagen genes and reduced expression of the type I collagen gene. Surprisingly, for fibronectin and type III collagen, that terminal phenotype resembled the one normally found in the fibroblasts during the processes of tissue repair, cicatrization, and development.

Abstract
A routine, reproducible procedure was developed for the preparation and characterization of stromal cells from normal human breast tissue obtained by reduction mammaplasty. Isolates (n = 15) all exhibited enhanced rates of proliferation, even in the presence of 20% fetal calf serum, when exposed to epidermal growth factor or transforming growth factor a (both 10(-8) M). Cellular responsiveness to these growth factors was consistent with expression of specific surface receptors for epidermal growth factor (approximately 10(4)/cell). In cultures, stromal cells elaborated an extensive, cross-linked, insoluble extracellular matrix which remained firmly associated with the plastic surface of tissue culture ware upon lysis of cells. The insoluble matrix material was analyzed using enzymatic digestion procedures following incorporation of radiolabelled precursors into macromolecular material prior to lysis and preparation. The relative proportion of glycoconjugate (glycopeptides and proteoglycans) and collagenous material present in matrix material was approximately 45% and approximately 55%, respectively, and this was modulated by inclusion of epidermal growth factor into culture medium to approximately 60% and approximately 40%, respectively. Under similar culture conditions stromal cells synthesized twice as much hyaluronate as was produced by control cultures. By use of specific antibody preparations we identified at least four species of glycopeptide present in stromal matrices (namely, fibronectin, laminin, tenascin, and thrombospondin) as well as three types of collagen (types I, III, and IV). The rapid and reproducible procedure for the preparation of radiolabelled insoluble matrix material from normal human breast tissue allows for the study of cellular interaction involving extracellular matrix turnover and degradation.

Abstract
The levels of collagenase and collagenase mRNA produced by early-passage (less than 40% of lifespan completed) and late-passage (greater than 80% of lifespan completed) cultures of human fibroblasts were analyzed. The constitutive levels of collagenase and collagenase mRNA produced by the late-passage cultures were 10-30 x greater than the levels observed in similarly treated early-passage cultures. Immunofluorescence analysis established that the percentage of collagenase-positive cells was also greater (77% vs. 4%) in the late-passage cultures. To determine whether the difference in collagenase production resulted from cell-derived regulatory factors, collagenase production was examined in cultures plated onto substrates coated with fibroblast extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagenase and collagenase mRNA production was enhanced in both types of cultures, although amounts produced by ECM-induced early-passage cultures was significantly less than that produced by similarly treated late-passage cultures. Collagen-coated substrates also induced collagenase synthesis.

Abstract
Recent results gathered by normal light microscopy, immunocytochemistry, fluorescent-analog cytochemistry, and electron microscopy have allowed an improved interpretation of ameboid movement and related phenomena. 1. The contractile system responsible in Amoeba proteus for the generation of motive force for protoplasmic streaming and a large variety of dynamic activities is represented mainly by a thin cortical filament layer at the cytoplasmic face of the cell membrane (Fig. 18I). During normal locomotion this layer exhibits a distinct structural and physiological polarity with three different zones: a zone of reformation at the front (A), a zone of contraction in the intermediate cell region (B), and a zone of destruction at the uroid (C). 2. Two types of filaments participate in the formation of the cortical layer: (1) randomly distributed thin (actin) filaments exhibiting a parallel orientation in the anterior (Fc1) and a disordered arrangement in the intermediate and posterior cell region (Fc2; see also Fig. 17b), and (2) thick (myosin) filaments in close association with F-actin and mostly restricted to the intermediate and posterior cell region (Fc2). 3. The internal hydraulic pressure generated by localized active contraction of the cortical layer is transmitted to the endoplasm via the cell membrane and converted into directed streaming by a gel-sol gradient of decreasing viscosity between the uroid and the front. Calcium ions, ATP, and regulative proteins (profilin and a kinase) play an essential role in controlling both the interaction of actin and myosin and the sol-gel state of the cytoplasmic matrix. 4. Any alterations externally induced in the polarity of the cortical filament system by chemical or physical stimulation and inhibition cause immobilization of the amebas (Fig. 18II) with characteristic changes in (1) cell shape (spherulation and cell flattening), (2) membrane dynamics (cytotic and cytokinetic activities), and (3) cytoplasmic organization (hyalogranuloplasmic separation). pseudopodial tip (Fig. 18III, b----c, d----e), (3) destruction of the old layer at the hyalogranuloplasmic border (Fig. 18III, c,e), and (4) alternate solation (Fig. 18III, b and d) and gelation (Fig. 18III, c and e) of the hyaloplasm between the layer and the plasma membrane. The retraction of pseudopodia is accomplished by a local contraction of the cortical layer in conjunction with a simultaneous gel-sol transformation of the ectoplasmic cylinder. 6. The expression of a rather complex cytoskeleton which is composed not only of microfilaments and associated proteins, but also of intermediate- and microtubularlike structures has to be considered in future

Abstract
The field of cellular senescence (cytogerontology) is reviewed. The historical precedence for investigation in this field is summarized, and placed in the context of more recent studies of the regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation. The now-classical embryonic lung fibroblast model is compared to models utilizing other cell types as well as cells from donors of different ages and phenotypes. Modulation of cellular senescence by growth factors, hormones, and genetic manipulation is contrasted, but newer studies in oncogene involvement are omitted. A current consensus would include the view that the life span of normal diploid cells in culture is limited, is under genetic control, and is capable of being modified. Finally, embryonic cells aging in vitro share certain characteristics with early passage cells derived from donors of increasing age.

Abstract
Elevating the level of extracellular calcium (CaEx2+) increases the saturation density achieved by the normal human diploid cell line, WI-38, but does not change the growth rate. Day 7 cell yields remain unchanged when [CaEx2+] is between 0.5 mM and 3.0 mM, decrease when [CaEx2+] less than 0.5 mM, and increase when [CaEx2+] greater than 3.0 mM. Combining hydrocortisone with additional CaCl2 results in an additive effect on the saturation density relative to that obtained with each treatment separately. The stimulatory effect of elevated [CaCl2] is independent of serum concentration but is lost when WI-38 cells are grown in conditioned medium. Stimulation is recovered when conditioned medium is diluted with serum-free medium. In the case of young cultures grown in conditioned medium, stimulation can also be recovered when higher than usual levels of additional CaCl2 are used (2-3 mM). A glutamine supplementation to the conditioned medium potentiates cell response to elevated [CaCl2]. These results indicate that the loss of an enhanced saturation density when cells are grown in conditioned medium is not due to serum depletion but is more likely the effect of metabolites and/or nutrient depletion. When older or less vigorously growing cultures are grown in conditioned medium, additions of up to 3 mM CaCl2 only lead to inhibition, suggesting an age-related change in proliferative regulation. Elevated levels of CaEx2+ also enhance the proliferative response of quiescent monolayers to serum stimulation. This finding, along with the increase in saturation density of Ca2+-treated cultures, suggests that an elevated level of CaEx2+ affects cell entry into and exit from quiescence brought on by density-dependent inhibition.

Abstract
Culture dishes coated with extracellular matrix material synthesized by bovine endothelial cells, rat smooth muscle cells or human fibroblasts were used to study proliferation and myogenesis in C3H/10T1/2 C18 (10T1/2) cells primed to differentiate with 5-azacytidine (5-aza-CR). Endothelial and smooth muscle matrices were permissive for growth and myogenic differentiation of treated 10T1/2 cells, whereas the fibroblast matrix was inhibitory. All three types of matrix-coated dishes were refractory for myogenesis after brief exposure to trypsin. Analysis of the matrix glycosaminoglycans showed that high chondroitin sulfate relative to hyaluronic acid (HA) levels were favorable for the myogenic response. The ratio between these two glycosaminoglycans therefore had a major influence on mesenchymal differentiation. These results using complex extracellular matrices produced in vitro may be useful in understanding cell-matrix interactions during embryogenesis.

Abstract
The proteoglycans synthesized by fibroblasts derived from human donors of ages ranging from 12 years to 68 years have been studied. In addition, the in vitro proliferation rates of the various cell strains were studied and demonstrated that increasing donor age correlated with a decrease in proliferative activity. The incorporation of [35S]-sulfate into proteoglycans decreased with increasing donor age with cells from the oldest donor demonstrating a 50% reduction compared with cells from the youngest donor. Analysis on Sepharose CL-4B of isolated [35S]-labeled proteoglycans for molecular size distribution revealed few differences between the cell-layer-associated proteoglycans of all cell strains studied. However, analysis of the medium-associated [35S]-labeled proteoglycans demonstrated an increase in the amount of small molecular size proteoglycans with increasing age. More specific analysis of the glycosaminoglycan composition revealed an increase in heparan sulfate from 52% to 73% in the cell-layer-associated proteoglycans of cells from the youngest and oldest donors, respectively. Accompanying this increase was a relative decrease in dermatan and chondroitin sulfate content from 24% to 13% and 25% to 16%, respectively, with increasing donor age. Additionally, the degree of N-sulfation of cell layer heparan sulfate increased with age. Heparan sulfate levels increased in the medium as well with increasing age, with a concomitant decrease in chondroitin sulfate. The quantity of medium-derived dermatan sulfate remained relatively evenly distributed throughout the various ages studied. The various differences noted are considered to reflect the general metabolic changes associated with aging. In particular the increase in heparan sulfate content with age is considered to be related to the decreased proliferative activity of the fibroblasts with increasing age.

Abstract
Fibroblasts isolated from normal skin, normal scar, and hypertrophic scar tissues were compared with respect to their growth curves, protein contents, and abilities to synthesize glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). While no significant differences were found with respect to protein content or population doubling times, we did find significant differences in the proportions of radiolabel incorporated into the various GAGs among the 3 groups of cell lines. Using a dual-label technique to label both hyaluronic acid and the sulfated GAGs, we isolated labeled constituents from the extracellular, the pericellular, and the cellular fractions by pronase digestion and gel filtration and identified the various GAGs by electrophoresis and selective digestion with enzymes. Of the GAGs isolated from the extracellular fraction, hypertrophic scar fibroblasts incorporated proportionately more 35S into chondroitin sulfate and less into heparan sulfate and more [3H]glucosamine into hyaluronic acid than did normal skin fibroblasts. Of the GAGs isolated from the cellular fraction, hypertrophic scar fibroblasts incorporated proportionately more 35S into heparin and less into dermatan sulfate and more [3H]glucosamine into hyaluronic acid than did normal skin fibroblasts. These differences in biosynthesis may help to explain the differences in GAG content in skin and scars found in vivo and to give insight into the development of hypertrophic scars.

Abstract
A highly metastatic variant (ESb) of a methylcholanthrene-induced T lymphoma elaborates a heparan sulfate (HS) degrading endoglycosidase (heparanase) to a much higher extent than its non-metastatic parental subline (Eb). Whereas a serum-free medium conditioned by either subline contained a trypsin-like serine protease, heparanase activity was detected only in the ESb-conditioned medium (CM). ESb CM was incubated with a naturally produced, sulfate-labelled subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) or with a soluble, high-MW labelled proteoglycan first released from the ECM by incubation with Eb CM or with the partially purified ESb protease. Sulfate labelled degradation products were analyzed by gel filtration on Sephrose 6B. The optimal pH for degradation of ECM-bound HS was 6.2 as compared to pH 5.2 for degradation of the soluble proteoglycan. Heparanase-mediated degradation of both ECM-bound and soluble HS was inhibited by heparin. Addition of either trypsin, plasmin or to a lower extent, the purified ESb protease, stimulated between 5- and 20-fold the ESb CM-mediated degradation of ECM-bound HS but had no effect on heparanase-mediated degradation of the soluble proteoglycan. This stimulation was inhibited in the presence of heparin or protease inhibitors. These results indicate that both a protease and heparanase are involved in the ESb-mediated degradation of ECM-bound HS and that one enzyme produces a more accessible substrate for the next enzyme. This sequential cleavage is characteristic of degradation of a multimolecular structure such as the subendothelial ECM and hence cannot be detected in studies with its isolated constituents.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate was isolated form the cell surface, cell pellet, and culture medium of exponentially growing as well as postconfluent bovine aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs). After chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex and Sepharose 4B, the various mucopolysaccharides were examined for their ability to cause growth inhibition in a SMC bioassay. The heparan sulfate isolated from the surface of postconfluent SMCs possessed approximately eight times the antiproliferative potency per cell of the heparan sulfate obtained from the surface of exponentially growing SMCs. Heparan sulfate isolated from other fractions of exponentially growing or postconfluent SMCs possesses little growth inhibitory activity. The difference in the antiproliferative activities of heparan sulfate obtained from the surface of SMCs in the two growth states could not be attributed to the synthesis of a greater mass of mucopolysaccharide by postconfluent SMCs. Indeed, heparan sulfate isolated from the surface of the postconfluent SMCs exhibits a specific antiproliferative activity which is 13-fold greater than mucopolysaccharide obtained from the surface of exponentially growing SMCs and more than 40-fold greater than commercially available heparin. In addition, exponentially growing SMCs did not exhibit an enhanced ability to degrade the complex carbohydrate. Furthermore, other investigations indicate that the small amount of growth inhibitory activity intrinsic to heparan sulfate isolated from the surface of exponentially growing SMCs is due to residual, biologically active, mucopolysaccharide produced by the primary postconfluent SMCs from which the exponentially growing SMCs were derived. These studies suggest that bovine aortic SMCs are capable of controlling their own growth by the synthesis of a specific form of heparan sulfate with antiproliferative potency.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis was studied in untransformed and transformed normal and Werner syndrome (WS) fibroblasts, because WS manifests pleiotropic abnormalities in connective tissue. Continuous labelling of cells with [3H] glucosamine and [35S] sulfate for 48 hours revealed enhanced synthesis of cellular GAG, more rapid transfer of these into the pericellular fraction, and more accumulation of GAG in the medium in cultures of untransformed WS fibroblasts compared with cultures of normal diploid cells. Total GAG in the 24 hour medium from confluent cultures was composed of 80-90% hyaluronic acid (HA) and 10-20% sulfated GAG (S-GAGs) in both untransformed normal and WS fibroblasts, whereas it was approximately 50% each HA and S-GAG in transformed normal and WS cells. The proportional enhancement of [35S] GAG synthesis in response to exogenous beta-D-xylopyranosides was similar in normal and WS cells, although transformed cells demonstrated only approximately one-half the enhancement observed in non-transformed cells. Thus, the overall activity of GAG synthesis is not grossly altered by the WS gene mutation. Enhanced synthesis and accumulation of HA and dermatan sulfate (DS) in the medium was characteristic of untransformed WS fibroblasts, but appeared to be normalized in an SV40-transformed WS cell line (PSV811), as in transformed normal cells (WI38CT-1). We need more experiments to determine whether aberrant GAG metabolism in WS cells is a direct or indirect expression of the primary gene defect.

Abstract
The use of extracellular matrix (ECM) as a natural substrate for cell culture has markedly improved the growth and morphological differentiation of isolated adult rat oligodendrocytes. ECM-grown oligodendrocytes exhibited cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (CNP)-activity which increased with time in culture and network formation. As much as 50-70% of the cells incorporated [3H]thymidine as visualized by the high labeling index of galactocerebroside (GalC)-positive cells. Chemical and enzymatic modifications of the ECM suggested that laminin in conjunction with other ECM constituents, plays a role in the induction of proliferation and/or differentiation responses in mature oligodendrocytes.

Abstract
The synthesis and accumulation of specific glycosaminoglycans into proteoglycans of the basal lamina and extracellular matrix is an important aspect of ductal growth and branching morphogenesis in the mouse mammary gland. The present study was undertaken to determine whether serially aged mammary gland, which has lost most of its growth potential during repeated transplantation, displays altered ability to synthesize and accumulate glycosaminoglycans into the extracellular matrix or basal lamina. Using histochemical and autoradiographic procedures coupled with enzymatic digestion, it is now shown that serially aged mammary ductal tissue synthesizes and incorporates hyaluronate into the basal lamina at the leading edge of the end bud, where growth takes place, and sulfated glycosaminoglycans are accumulated in the extracellular matrix along the end bud flanks, associated with ductal morphogenesis. These patterns of synthesis and accumulation are similar to those associated with the growth of young gland. In non-growing regions, regardless of whether growth termination resulted from serial aging or from normal growth regulatory mechanisms operating in the young gland, sulfated glycosaminoglycans were distributed in the extracellular matrix around the ductal tips. Again, the pattern was similar in young and serially aged gland. We conclude that glycosaminoglycan metabolism and distribution are related to growth status rather than tissue age, and are unlikely to be an important component of mammary senescence.

Abstract
Circulating macrophages and T lymphocytes can invade the vascular endothelium and migrate from the circulatory system to an extravascular compartment such as inflammatory organs. In an in vitro model system we have examined the capacity of murine T lymphocytes and peritoneal macrophages to attach and invade a confluent vascular endothelial cell monolayer and to degrade sulfated proteoglycans in the subendothelial extracellular matrix. Concanavalin A and antigen-specific (egg albumin) activated T lymphocytes labeled with [3H]thymidine attached to the apical surface of the vascular endothelium in a time-dependent manner. A subsequent invasion of the endothelial cell monolayer was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Both activated T lymphocytes and murine macrophages degraded the [35S]O4 = -containing fragments in a process which required cell-matrix contact but was not dependent on serum proteases. Sulfated glycosaminoglycan chains produced from matrix proteoglycans by treatment with papain or alkaline borohydride were 3-4 times larger than the cell-mediated degradation fragments. This suggests that both macrophages and T lymphocytes elaborate upon stimulation an endoglicosidase capable of cleaving glycosaminoglycans specifically and releasing heparan sulfate-rich fragments. The ability of activated cells of the immune system to attach and invade the vascular endothelium and to degrade sulfated proteoglycans is very similar to that reported for highly metastatic tumor cells.

Abstract
Werner's syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive condition with multiple progeroid features, but it is an imitation of aging rather than accelerated or premature senescence. Somatic chromosome aberrations occur in multiple tissues in vivo and in vitro, and there is an increased incidence of neoplasia. Thus. Werner's syndrome can be classified in the group of chromosome instability syndromes. Recent findings provide additional support for the concept that there is an aberration of connective tissue metabolism in Werner's syndrome, but it is unclear whether this is a primary or secondary manifestation of the underlying genetic defect. Abnormal growth characteristics are observed in cultured skin fibroblast-like cells and this provides another avenue for current research. Identification of the basic genetic defect in Werner's syndrome might clarify our understanding of the normal aging process in general, or might elucidate specific aspects such as the development of neoplasia, atherosclerosis, diabetes, or osteoporosis.

Abstract
Indirect immunofluorescence was used to investigate the production of a fibrillar fibronectin matrix by human diploid fibroblasts (IMR-90) as cells progress through their in vitro lifespan. Early and mid-passage cultures displayed a prominent fibrillar reticulum over the cell layer which formed within 24 hours of seeding. Even sparsely seeded early-passage cells exhibited fibrils of fibronectin on external surfaces. In contrast, fibrillar fibronectin was reduced or absent on surfaces of late-passage cells. However, the larger, non-proliferating, late-passage cells were producing fibronectin, 1h determined by radioimmunoassay of the medium.
