We recently reported that when myoblasts fuse, m-calpain could be exteriorized. Indeed, at present a number of works support this hypothesis because this enzyme was localized intercellularly and more particularly associated to extracellular matrix components. Knowing that the cell surface of the fusing myoblast is supposed to undergo many changes, we addressed the question whether m-calpain could be involved in the phenomenon of fusion via fibronectin cleavage or degradation. Using different digestion experiments, we demonstrated that soluble purified fibronectin and highly insoluble fibronectin fibrils represent very good substrates for this proteinase; moreover, at the burst of fusion, fibronectin proteolytic fragments could be identified. On the other hand, we have conducted biological assays on cultured myoblasts using a defined medium supplemented by exogenous factors capable of stimulating or inhibiting m-calpain activity. The effects of such factors on rat myoblast fusion and concomitantly on the targeted glycoprotein were analyzed and quantified. When m-calpain activity and the phenomenon of fusion were reduced (defined medium without insulin), the amount of the 220-kDa fibronectin band was increased by 43%. When m-calpain activity and myoblast fusion were prevented by addition of antibodies to m-calpain or calpain inhibitor II, the fibronectin concentration was higher since it was increased by 67 and 71%, respectively. In addition, when observed at the ultrastructural level, m-calpain seems to be localized at the potential fusion site of myoblasts and more particularly associated to the extracellular matrix when muscle cells were initially treated by anti-m-calpain IgG. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that exteriorized m-calpain could be, in part, involved in myoblast fusion via fibronectin alteration or degradation. 相似文献

It is shown that 2,2'-thiodiethanol, a product of yperite hydrolysis, strongly stimulates differentiation of chick embryo myogenic cells. In its presence myoblasts fused, yielding myotubes with the same efficiency in standard media for chick embryo fibroblast-like cell culture (containing 4% bovine serum and 1% chick serum) as in media specially designed to promote myoblast fusion (containing 10% horse serum and 5% chick serum). What is more, the myofibres formed in the presence of 0.1% 2,2'-thiodiethanol morphologically resembled more closely myofibres formed in vivo than those formed in the presence of horse serum. 相似文献

Antibodies to 100- and 60-kDa surface proteins inhibit substratum attachment and differentiation of rodent skeletal myoblasts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A rabbit polyclonal antiserum was raised against membrane vesicles shed from the surface of fusing L6 rat myoblasts. In immunoblots the antiserum recognized fibronectin, a protein of approximately 100,000 Da (100-kDa), and a protein of approximately 60,000 Da (60 kDa). If added prior to cellular alignment, immunoglobulins from this serum inhibited fusion of both rat (L6) and mouse (C2) myoblasts in a dose-dependent fashion. To determine which component of this serum was responsible for fusion inhibition, antibodies against fibronectin, the 100- and 60-kDa proteins were microaffinity purified and tested, individually, for their effects on myoblast fusion. Antibodies against fibronectin had no effect on fusion. Antibodies against the 100-kDa protein released most cells from the substratum. Antibodies against the 60-kDa protein completely inhibited fusion. Fusion inhibition was accompanied by a corresponding inhibition of expression of two differentiation markers, creatine phosphokinase and the acetylcholine receptor. The 60-kDa protein was found, by immunoblot analysis, in smooth muscle-like cells (BC3H1 cells) and in variant L6 cells that do not differentiate and do not fuse. However, in the differentiation incompetent cells, the 60-kDa antigen appeared to be present in reduced amount. Indirect immunofluorescence of unpermeabilized L6 cells revealed alterations in the distribution of all three antigens during development. Fibronectin first appeared in long fibrillar arrays above the surface of cells that were beginning to align and fuse; fibronectin was not present on myotubes. The 100-kDa protein was seen initially in prominent fibrillar projections at the tips of prefusion myoblasts. During fusion the antigen was observed at sites of cell-cell contact and on extracellular vesicles. The 100-kDa protein appeared to be less abundant on myotubes. The 60-kDa protein first appeared in regions of cell-cell contact on cells that were beginning to align and fuse. As. fusion progressed, the 60-kDa protein was also found in extracellular vesicles. The 60-kDa protein was not observed on myotubes. As a result of this study we have identified two previously undescribed cell surface proteins involved in rodent skeletal myogenesis. The first is an approximately 100-kDa protein involved in early interactions of skeletal myoblasts with their substratum. The second is an approximately 60-kDa protein involved in myoblast differentiation. Both proteins are shed from the myoblast surface during myotube formation. 相似文献

Contracting striated muscle fibres differentiated from primary rat pituitary cultures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary Whole pituitaries or adenohypophyses alone of adult female Wistar/ Furth rats were dissociated into single cells by means of two different enzymic disintegration methods. The single-cell suspension was then seeded out and cultured for up to 8 months in tissue culture dishes with untreated and polylysine coated surfaces. The cells were cultured in different sera (horse serum, newborn-calf serum, fetal-calf serum, mixtures of horse and newborn-calf serum, and isogenic rat serum) and also in a serum-free, hormone-supplemented medium. When the cells were cultured in medium containing horse serum (15 %) plus fetal-calf serum (3%) on polylysine-treated surfaces, cell fusion and the development of myotubes could be observed between day 5 and 10 after seeding and, on about day twenty, the formation of multicellular microstructures could be seen. Myotubes in such microstructures differentiate into muscle fibres, and show spontaneous contraction. Striation is visible both light and electron microscopyically. Such a differentiation into striated muscle cells depends on specific culture conditions: the serum used, the formation of microstructures, and the treatment of the culture dishes. There is apparently no previous report of striated muscle cells found in pituitary cultures. 相似文献

Previous work using glycosylation inhibitors has suggested that high-mannose type but not complex type oligosaccharides on the surface of cells may play a role in the differentiation of skeletal myoblasts. Earlier, we had shown that a concanavalin A-resistant mutant derived from an L6 myoblast line fails to differentiate in a medium containing 10% horse serum. Here we show that one such concanavalin A-resistant mutant (D-1) which was reported to have oligosaccharides of the type Man(3-5)G1cNAc2, shows significant fusion ability when grown in media containing 1% horse serum. Lowering the serum concentration did not alter the dolichol-phosphate mannosyltransferase activity in D-1 which remained at low levels compared to L6. The incorporation of [3H]mannose in D-1 was found to be 60% of L6 in 10% serum whereas in 1% serum the incorporation into D-1 was further reduced to 30% of L6. [3H]mannose-labeled ConA-binding proteins isolated from L6 were quantitatively and qualitatively similar in cells grown in either 10 or 1% serum. However, in D-1 cells a further decrease in the ConA-binding ability of these glycoproteins was observed. Biochemical differentiation also occurs in D-1 upon fusion in 1% serum as seen by the increase in mRNA levels of the muscle-specific markers myosin light chain and troponin T. These results suggest the high-mannose type of oligosaccharides may not be involved in myoblast differentiation. 相似文献

Role of Ca2+ and Ca2+-activated protease in myoblast fusion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J E Schollmeyer 《Experimental cell research》1986,162(2):411-422
In this report, we have examined the effects of a calcium chelator, EGTA, and a calcium ionophore, A23187, on fusion of a cloned muscle cell line, L6. Our results confirm that EGTA essentially blocks all myoblast fusion because the lateral alignment of presumptive myoblasts cannot occur in the absence of extracellular calcium. A23187, however, promotes the precocious fusion of myoblasts, apparently by facilitating Ca2+ transport into myoblasts. We have also demonstrated that a Ca2+-activated protease, CAF (mM), appears to relocate in response to the Ca2+ flux, changing from a random, dispersed distribution in proliferative myoblasts to a predominantly peripheral distribution in prefusion myoblasts. Coincident with the mM CAF relocation is an altered distribution of a surface glycoprotein, fibronectin. Extracellular fibronectin is seen in abundance in proliferating myoblasts, but is essentially absent from the surface of fusing myoblasts. We suggest that mM CAF when activated by Ca2+ influx may act to promote the release of fibronectin from the myoblast cell surface, thus providing a mechanism by which the membrane of the fusing myoblast may be rearranged to accommodate fusion. 相似文献

Developmental regulation of 16S acetylcholinesterase and acetylcholine receptors in a mouse muscle cell line 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

We have studied the appearance, distribution and regulation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) in a mouse skeletal muscle cell line (C2), that was originally isolated and described by Yaffe & Saxel [54]. In culture, cells from this line form spontaneously contracting myotubes, with overshooting action potentials that are TTX-sensitive. After fusion of myoblasts into myotubes, there was a dramatic increase in the amount of both AChE and AChR. Three forms of AChE, distinguished by their sedimentation on sucrose gradients, were synthesized: 4-6S, 10S, and 16S. The 4-6S and 10S forms appeared 1 day after the cells began to fuse, whereas the 16S form appeared only 2 days after fusion began. Maximal levels of the 16S AChE form (25-30% of the total) were obtained by reducing the concentration of horse serum in the fusion medium. Prevention of myoblast fusion by reducing the calcium levels in the medium decreased the total AChE by 70%, and only the 4-6S form was synthesized. Blocking spontaneous contractile activity of the myotubes by tetrodotoxin (TTX) led to a 50% reduction in all three esterase forms. Thus, the 16S, or endplate form of AChE is not specifically regulated by electrical or contractile activity in the C2 cell line. After fusion the number of AChRs increased rapidly for 3-4 days and then stabilized. Receptor clusters, ranging from 10-30 micron in length, appeared 1 day after myoblast fusion began. When cells were grown in medium containing reduced Ca2+, the total number of AChRs was decreased by 20-50%. Reduction of Ca2+ after myotubes and AChR clusters had formed resulted in dispersal of AChR clusters. Inhibition of muscle contractions with TTX did not affect the number of AChRs or their distribution. 相似文献

Alterations in the amount of fibronectin and in the number of its receptors during myoblast differentiation of chicken embryo were investigated. The amount of fibronectin in the cell surface pool as measured by immunoblotting decreased during myogenesis To identify and characterize the fibronectin receptors on the myoblasts, the interactions of the 28,000 dalton (28 kDa) amino terminal fragment and 85,000 dalton (85 kDa) cell-binding fragment of fibronectin with my-oblasts were examined. The binding of the 28 kDa fragment was found to be time-dependent and reached a maximum level within 60 min. The unlabeled 28 kDa fragment inhibited the binding of the radioiodinated 28 kDa fragment, whereas the unlabeled 85 kDa fragment and antibody to integrin did not inhibit it, suggesting that the 28 kDa fragment interacts with the matrix assembly receptors but not with the cell adhesion receptors. There was a single class of 3.4 × 105 binding sites per cell with an apparent dissociation constant of 1.4 × 10?7 M on 30 hr old myoblasts. The specific binding of the radioiodinated 28 kDa fragment to myoblasts decreased as the fusion proceeded. This decrease of binding was consistent with the decrease in the amount of fibronectin. Furthermore, the levels of fibronectin and binding of the radioiodinated 28 kDa fragment in the fusion-blocked myoblasts by EGTA treatment appeared to remain constant. These results suggest that the decrease and/or loss of fibronectin during myoblast fusion is closely correlated with the alteration of fibronectin receptors and with the fusion of myoblasts. 相似文献

Three members of the family of protease-activated receptors (PARs), PARs-1, -3 and -4, have been identified as thrombin receptors. PAR-1 is expressed by primary myoblast cultures, and expression is repressed once myoblasts fuse to form myotubes. The current study was undertaken to investigate the hypothesis that thrombin inhibits myoblast fusion. Primary rodent myoblast cultures were deprived of serum to promote myoblast fusion and then cultured in the presence or absence of thrombin. Thrombin inhibited myoblast fusion, but another notable effect was observed; 50% of control cells were apoptotic within 24 h of serum deprivation, whereas less than 15% of thrombin-treated cells showed signs of apoptosis. Proteolysis was required for the effect of thrombin, but no other serine protease tested mimicked the action of thrombin. Neither a PAR-1- nor a PAR-4-activating peptide inhibited apoptosis or fusion, and myoblast cultures were negative for PAR-3 expression. Myoblasts exposed to thrombin for 1 h and then changed to medium without thrombin accumulated apoptosis inhibitory activity in their medium over the subsequent 20 h. Thus the protective action of thrombin appears to be effected through cleavage of an unidentified thrombin receptor, leading to secretion of a downstream apoptosis inhibitory factor. These results demonstrate that thrombin functions as a survival factor for myoblasts and is likely to play an important role in muscle development and repair. 相似文献

Temporal patterns of biosynthesis of the Ca2+ + Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase of sarcomplasmic reticulum were obtained from studies with primary cultures of rat skeletal muscle cells. Rates of synthesis at various stages of differentiation were estimated from the incorporation of tritium-labeled leucine into the ATPase. Cells were solubilized with detergent, and newly synthesized ATPase was isolated from cells by antibody precipitation in the presence of carrier ATPase. Radioactivity incorporated into the ATPase was determined after gel electrophoresis of the precipitates and counting of gel slices containing the ATPase band. In Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 10% horse serum and 0.5% chick embryo extract, mononucleated myoblast cells began to form multinucleated myotubes after about 50 hours in culture. Prior to fusion little ATPase synthesis was detectable; during fusion the ATPase was synthesized at an accelerating rate for a period of about 30 hours. The rate of synthesis levelled off after about 90 hours coincident with termination of fusion. In Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 20% fetal calf serum and 8% embryo extract, the onset of fusion was delayed for 30 to 40 hours. In this medium biosynthesis of the ATPase was also delayed so that biosynthesis of the ATPase appeared to be correlated with fusion of muscle cells. Cells cultured in Culbecco's modified Eagle's medium containgin 10% horse serum, but only 60 muM Ca2+, proliferated but did not fuse. Under these conditions, synthesis of the ATPase was measurable at 50 to 60 hours, and the rate of synthesis accelerated until 120 hours when it declined. Under all conditions degradation of the ATPase occurred with a half-life of 20 hours whereas the half-life of total protein degradation was 40 hours. Synthesis of the sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase, like that of a number of other muscle-specific proteins, is greatly accelerated as myoblasts fuse and differentiate into myotubes. Fusion is not essential for this phenomenon, however, although it is normally concomitant with it. 相似文献

Treatment of chick myoblasts with the glucosidase inhibitors bromoconduritol (BCD) or N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (MDJN), but not the mannosidase I inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin (ManDJN), decreased their rate of adhesion to fibronectin and laminin and increased their rate of adhesion to collagen types I and IV. The adhesion of chick myoblasts to fibronectin, collagen type IV, and laminin was predominantly mediated by beta 1-type integrin(s) as judged by inhibition of adhesion with the beta 1-specific monoclonal antibody JG22. Collagen binding in inhibitor-treated cells remained JG22-sensitive suggesting the inhibitors promote increased activity of a beta 1-type collagen-selective integrin. The effects of BCD, MDJN, and ManDJN on myoblast beta 1-integrin detectable at the myoblast cell surface with JG22 antibody correlated well with their effects on adhesion to fibronectin and laminin, and paralleled the previously reported effects of these agents on myogenesis. Interaction of integrin with the extracellular matrix appears to be required for myoblast terminal differentiation. We found that Mn2+ ions increased the adhesion of myoblasts to extracellular matrix proteins and antagonized the effect of BCD and MDJN on myoblast differentiation, supporting a role for cell-matrix interactions in myogenesis. Inhibition of myogenesis by BCD or MDJN was not reversed by growth under low serum conditions, suggesting these agents do not act by maintaining myoblast in a proliferative state. 相似文献

In the course of our attempt to clarify the growth-promoting activities of chick embryo extract (EE), its heat-stable activity was found to be due to hypoxanthine and its related substances including RNA. When added to a basal culture medium composed of Eagle's MEM, horse serum and Fe-saturated ovotransferrin hypoxanthine or adenine (10 μM) markedly promoted quail myoblast proliferation. The concentration of hypoxanthine in EE was very high (274±34μM) and increased 2-fold during incubation at 37°C, while that in horse serum was very low (<3 μM). Guanine, xanthine and pyrimidines were ineffective. The nucleosides and nucleotides of hypoxanthine and adenine were effective, but the deoxynucleosides strongly inhibited the proliferation of avian myoblasts. Further, RNA was also effective but DNA was not. Hypoxanthine and RNA also promoted rat myoblast proliferation and the deoxynucleosides did not inhibit rat myoblast proliferation. These findings suggest that a supply of raw materials for RNA synthesis is important for optimal proliferation of myoblasts. 相似文献

Decellularisation of skeletal muscle provides a system to study the interactions of myoblasts with muscle extracellular matrix (ECM). This study describes the efficient decellularisation of quadriceps muscle with the retention of matrix components and the use of this matrix for myoblast proliferation and differentiation under serum free culture conditions. Three decellularisation approaches were examined; the most effective was phospholipase A2 treatment, which removed cellular material while maximizing the retention of ECM components. Decellularised muscle matrices were then solubilized and used as substrates for C2C12 mouse myoblast serum free cultures. The muscle matrix supported myoblast proliferation and differentiation equally as well as collagen and fibronectin. Immunofluorescence analyses revealed that myoblasts seeded on muscle matrix and fibronectin differentiated to form long, well-aligned myotubes, while myoblasts seeded on collagen were less organized. qPCR analyses showed a time dependent increase in genes involved in skeletal muscle differentiation and suggested that muscle-derived matrix may stimulate an increased rate of differentiation compared to collagen and fibronectin. Decellularized whole muscle three-dimensional scaffolds also supported cell adhesion and spreading, with myoblasts aligning along specific tracts of matrix proteins within the scaffolds. Thus, under serum free conditions, intact acellular muscle matrices provided cues to direct myoblast adhesion and migration. In addition, myoblasts were shown to rapidly secrete and organise their own matrix glycoproteins to create a localized ECM microenvironment. This serum free culture system has revealed that the correct muscle ECM facilitates more rapid cell organisation and differentiation than single matrix glycoprotein substrates. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of laminin and fibronectin by rat satellite cells during myogenesis in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The biosynthesis of fibronectin and laminin was studied in satellite cells cultured from adult rat muscles before (day 4) and after fusion and formation of myotubes (day 14) using (35S) methionine as a tracer. The kinetics of incorporation into immunoprecipitable fibronectin and laminin were recorded at intervals from 1.5 to 24 hours of incubation with the tracer from the cells, the pericellular matrix and the culture medium. The rate of synthesis of fibronectin and laminin expressed as dpm/microgram DNA were constant from the mononucleated cell to the myotube state. Both glycoproteins were detected in the cells and in the pericellular matrix. When the results were expressed as the percentage of incorporation into total protein, major changes could be observed in the early phase of the kinetic studies in the cells and the pericellular matrix. Both showed an increase from the mononucleated myoblast to myotube, suggesting that an increasing fraction of total protein biosynthesis is directed towards these two extracellular matrix glycoproteins. At the same time, there was a decrease in the secretion into the medium of freshly synthesized radiolabeled fibronectin and laminin. Our results confirm the synthesis of varying ratios of both extracellular matrix macromolecules by undifferentiated mononucleated myogenic cells as well as myotubes. 相似文献

Although muscle cell fusion was shown to be an energy-requiring process, release of myoblasts from an EGTA fusion block could be accomplished with Earle's balanced salt solution (containing 1.8 mM Ca++) free of glucose or any other energy-produced metabolite. The effect of concanavalin A, abrin, and the lectins from wheat germ, soybean, and Lens culinaris on myoblast fusion was examined with synchronized myoblast cultures upon release from fusion block. At a concentration of 15 mug/ml, these lectins were found to inhibit the fusion process to the extent of 62%, 41%, 32%, 8%, and 19%, respectively. Concanavalin A inhibition could be prevented by alpha-methyl-D-mannoside. The inhibitory effect of all the lectins except abrin could be reversed by changing to the normal, serum-containing medium. The number of binding sites was 3.4 X 10(7), 6.1 X 10(7), and 1.7 X 10(6), respectively. Although myoblasts were found to have about twice as many binding sites for wheat germ agglutinin as for concanavalin A, concanavalin A was determined to be twice as effective as wheat germ agglutinin as an inhibitor of myoblast fusion. These findngs raise the possibility that specific cell surface glycoproteins may be an important factor in this process. 相似文献

Many studies have demonstrated that m-calpain was implicated in cell membrane reorganization-related phenomena during fusion via a regulation by calpastatin, the specific Ca2+-dependent proteolytic inhibitor. However, the real biological role of this protease is unclear because many targeted proteins are still unknown. Using different digestion experiments we have demonstrated that desmin, vimentin, talin, and fibronectin represent very good substrates for this proteinase capable of cleaving them in fragments which are immediately degraded by other enzymatic systems. Concerning intermediate filaments, we showed that during the phenomenon of fusion, the amount of desmin was significantly reduced while the concentration of vimentin presented a steady level. On the other hand, we have conducted biological assays on cultured myoblasts supplemented by exogenous factors such as calpain inhibitors or antisense oligonucleotides capable of stimulating or inhibiting m-calpain activity. The effect of such factors on fusion and concomitantly on the targeted substrates was analyzed and quantified. When m-calpain activity and myoblast fusion were prevented by addition of calpain inhibitors entering the cells, the amounts of desmin, talin, and fibronectin were increased, whereas the amount of vimentin was unchanged. Using antisense strategy, similar results were obtained. In addition, when the phenomenon of fusion was enhanced by preventing calpastatin synthesis, the amounts of desmin, talin, and fibronectin were significantly reduced. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that m-calpain is involved in myoblast fusion by cleaving certain proteins identified here. This cleavage could modify membrane and cytoskeleton organization for the myoblasts to fuse. 相似文献

Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that may play important roles in the morphogenesis and repair of skeletal muscle. To begin to explore the role of thrombospondin-1 in this tissue, we have examined the interactions of three rodent skeletal muscle cell lines, C2C12, G8, and H9c2, with platelet TSP-1. The cells secrete thrombospondin and incorporate it into the cell layer in a distribution distinct from that of fibronectin. Myoblasts attach and spread on fibronectin- or thrombospondin-coated substrates with similar time and concentration dependencies. Whereas cells adherent on fibronectin organize actin stress fibers, cells adherent on TSP-1 display prominent membrane ruffles and lamellae that contain radial actin microspikes. Attachment to thrombospondin-1 or the 140-kDa tryptic fragment is mediated by interactions with the type 1 repeats and the carboxy-terminal globular domain. Attachment is not inhibited by heparin, GRGDSP peptide, or VTCG peptide but is inhibited by chondroitin sulphate A. Integrins of the beta 1 or alpha V subgroups do not appear to be involved in myoblast attachment to TSP-1; instead, this process depends in part on cell surface chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans. Whereas the central 70-kDa chymotryptic fragment of TSP-1 does not support myoblast attachment, the carboxy-terminal domain of TSP-1 expressed as a fusion protein in the bacterial expression vector, pGEX, supported myoblast attachment to 30% the level of intact TSP-1. Thrombospondin-4 (TSP-4) is also present in skeletal muscle and a fusion protein containing the carboxy-terminal domain of TSP-4 also supported myoblast adhesion, although this protein was less active on a molar basis than the TSP-1 fusion protein. Thus, the carboxyterminal domain of TSP-1 appears to contain a primary attachment site for myoblasts, and this activity is present in a second member of the thrombospondin family. 相似文献

The biosynthesis and localization of fibronectin during chick muscle differentiation are described. This study employed two monoclonal antibodies, one that selectively killed mononucleated cells and one specific for avian fibronectin. These antibodies allowed precise analyses of fibronectin expression in well-defined cultures of myoblasts or myotubes and avoided the complications of exogenous fibronectin and contamination by fibroblasts or unfused myoblasts. Fibronectin synthesis, as a fraction of total protein synthesis, remains constant at 0.3-0.4% before and after myoblast fusion, suggesting that the absolute rate of fibronectin synthesis may increase somewhat when myotubes synthesize and accumulate myofibrillar proteins. The pattern of fibronectin arrangement does change during myogenesis. In myotube cultures, the appearance of pulse-labeled fibronectin at the cell surface and its secretion into the medium begin after a 2-3-h lag period, in contrast to the 30-min lag period observed in fibroblast cultures. This lag between polypeptide biosynthesis and the exteriorization of the new protein is thus a characteristic of each cell type rather than the protein. All of the major secretory proteins of myogenic cells, including fibronectin and collagenous components, share this 2-3-h intracellular transit time. 相似文献

Cell fusion of embryonic chick myoblasts has been studied in the presence of fat-soluble agents that induce erythrocytes to fuse. Retinol inhibited myoblast fusion but the cells recovered their ability to fuse within 48 h of removal of the retinol from the medium. Myristic acid, oleic acid, glycerol monooleate, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid similarly prevented fusion in myogenic cultures. By contrast, linoleic acid moderately enhanced the fusion of chick skeletal myoblasts. In addition, stearic acid, which does not fuse erythrocytes, inhibited myoblast fusion whereas the saturated, non-fusogenic fatty acid, arachidic acid, was without effect. 相似文献
