Tumour infiltration by activated natural killer (A-NK) cells is a pre-requisite for tumour eradication by adoptive NK cell transfer. Extravasated A-NK cells do not always succeed in reaching the crucial target cell conjugation. Therefore, we wished to study A-NK cell locomotion and interactions with melanoma cells in a matrix environment (Matrigel) by electron, confocal and fluorescence microscopy. Two distinct patterns of A-NK cell-mediated matrix disintegration were revealed during incubation of tumour cells and A-NK cells in Matrigel: (1) A-NK cells pre-cultured for 5 days altered the homogeneous texture of the Matrigel, an initial microporous appearance became a loose filamentous meshwork by 24 h. Matrix degrading protease inhibitors could not fully prevent this, but could delay the process; and (2) A-NK cells pre-cultured for 6 days or more, instead formed large excavations in the Matrigel leaving the remaining matrix less affected compared to the effects by the younger A-NK cells. By histochemical staining with Cupromeronic Blue, the excavations were shown to contain proteoglycan material. Protease inhibitors had no discernable effect on the development of the excavations. The conspicuous capacity of A-NK cells to disintegrate extracellular matrix and the formation of large excavations seems only partially to depend on matrix-degrading proteases. Formation of extracellular proteoglycan material is suggested to facilitate A-NK cell locomotion within a matrix environment.
