“…These products are known to participate in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions that typify tumor cell invasion (DiStefano et al, 1982;Strauli et al, 19801, proteinase-induced cell transformation (Biswas, 19821, and the regulation of cell cycle kinetics and metabolic activities (Burk, 1973;Kurtz et al, 1974;Mitrovic et al, 1981). One nonmetastasizing cloned murine fibrosarcoma cell line (HSDM1) produces prostaglandin E2 throughout the cell cycle , and our recent studies have demonstrated that this cell is further characterized by the presence of serine and cysteine proteinases associated with its cell membrane (Kozlowski et al, 1984;Wezeman et al, 1983). Earlier studies using HSDMICl tumor fragments seeded directly onto living bone explants documented bone resorption (Goldhaber, 1960;Tashjian et al, 1972).…”
