Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumors produce large amounts of basement membrane (BM) components that are widely used as cell culture substrates mimicking BM functions. To delineate the tissue/organ origin of the tumor and the mechanisms operating in the BM overproduction, a genome-wide expression profile of EHS tumor was analyzed using RIKEN cDNA microarrays containing 40,000 mouse cDNA clones. Expression profiles of F9 embryonal carcinoma cells that produce laminin-1 and other BM components upon differentiation into parietal endoderm-like cells (designated F9-PE) were also analyzed. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that the gene expression profiles of EHS and F9-PE were the most similar among 49 mouse tissues/organs in the RIKEN Expression Array Database, suggesting that EHS tumor is parietal endoderm-derived. Quantitative PCR analysis confirmed that not only BM components but also the machineries required for efficient production of BM components, such as enzymes involved in post-translational modification and molecular chaperones, were highly expressed in both EHS and F9-PE. Pairs of similar transcription factor isoforms, such as Gata4/Gata6, Sox7/Sox17, and Cited1/Cited2, were also highly expressed in both EHS tumor and F9-PE. Time course analysis of F9 differentiation showed that up-regulation of the transcription factors was associated with those of BM components, suggesting their involvement in parietal endoderm specification and overproduction of the BM components.
