Heparan sulfate (HS) enhanced the growth of the highly metastatic (HM) 3LL cell line, but not that of the low metastatic (LM) counterpart, in a dose-dependent way. Heparin, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronate did not produce this effect. At 4 degrees C both cell lines exhibited high affinity binding sites (Kd 10(-8) M) for exogenous HS. Unlike LM cells, the HM ones lost half of the surface-bound HS during the...
