Osteosarcoma cells are useful for investigating bone metabolism as malignant counterpart of osteoblasts. In hematogenous metastases of osteosarcoma cells, the cells need to adjust to various changes in pericellular environment. The changes in pericellular environment may change intracellular environment and consequently the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which destroy extracellular matrices. In this report, a new cell line, KOS-1, derived from human osteoblastic osteosarcoma was established, and we assumed various culture conditions containing ingredients of the extracellular matrix to make a comparative study on MMPs detected from the culture supernatants. A wide spectrum of MMPs, including MMP-1 and -3 which were increased in the presence of interleukin 1 beta, was detected in this cell line. Production of MMP-1, the enzyme which decomposes types I, II, III and X collagen, by the cells, was increased in the presence of type I collagen. MMP-3 (stromelysin-1) which degrades types III and IV collagen, laminin, fibronectin, proteoglycan, etc. was produced more abundantly in the presence of type IV collagen. MMP-2 (72-kd type IV collagenase/gelatinase A) activity was found to be increased in the presence of gelatin and type IV collagen. The MMPs production in cultured osteosarcoma cells was changed depending on the culture conditions. This indicates that the same osteosarocma cells produce different amounts and kinds of enzymes involved in local infiltration and remote metastases and increase the production of the enzymes most required under a specific environment.
