A myogenic cell line with altered serum requirements for differentiation

Differentiation; Research in Biological Diversity
D Yaffe, O Saxel

Abstract

Dfferentiation properties of a cell line, L84, which originated from a non-fusing clone isolated from the myogenic line L8, are described. In nutritional medium supplemented with 10% serum used routinely with L8 cells, L84 cells continue to proliferate to very high densities and fail to form multinucleated fibres. When grown in medium supplemented with 2% horse serum of 2% horse serum plus 0.1% microng/ml insulin, L84 cells behave very similarly to L8 cells grown in medium supplemented with 10% horse serum: when the cultures reach confluency, proliferation decreases and cells start to fuse and form a dense network of fibres. Large increases in creatine kinase activity and synthesis of myosin are associated with cell fusion. Under conditions in which L84 cells do not fuse the increase in these synthetic activities is not observed, even after extremely high cell densities are reached. The data show that L84 cells retain the programme for their differentiation into muscle fibres. The difference between L84 and its progenitor line L8 lies in the sensitivity to the environmental conditions which trigger the expression of this programme.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
