Abstract
Caveolae and transverse (T-) tubules are membrane structures enriched in cholesterol and glycosphingolipids. They play an important role in receptor signalling and myogenesis. The T-system is also highly enriched in dihydropyridine receptors (DHPRs), which control excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Recent results have shown that a depletion of membrane cholesterol alters caveolae and T-tubules, yet detailed functional studies of DHPR expression are lacking. Here we studied electrophysiological and morphological effects of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD), a cholesterol-sequestering drug, on freshly isolated fetal skeletal muscle cells. Exposure of fetal myofibres to 1-3 mM MbetaCD for 1 h at 37 degrees C led to a significant reduction in caveolae and T-tubule areas and to a decrease in cell membrane electrical capacitance. In whole-cell voltage-clamp experiments, the L-type Ca(2+) current amplitude was significantly reduced, and its voltage dependence was shifted approximately 15 mV towards more positive potentials. Activation and inactivation kinetics were slower in treated cells than in control cells and stimulation by a saturating concentration of Bay K 8644 was enhanced. In addition, intramembrane charge movement and Ca(2+) transients evoked by a depolarization were reduced without a shift of the midpoint, indicating a weakening of E-C coupling. In contrast, T-type Ca(2+) current was not affected by MbetaCD treatment. Most of the L-type Ca(2+) conductance reduction and E-C coupling weakening could be explained by a decrease of the number of DHPRs due to the disruption of caveolae and T-tubules. However, the effects on L-type channel gating kinetics suggest that membrane cholesterol content modulates DHPR function. Moreover, the significant shift of the voltage dependence of L-type current without any change in the voltage dependence of charge movement and Ca(2+) transients suggests that cholesterol differentially regulates the two functions of the DHPR.

Abstract
Elevated contents of phosphoethanolamine (Etn-P) and/or phosphocholine (Cho-P), a common feature of most tumours with respect to normal counterparts, may also occur in non-cancerous proliferating tissues. The significance of these alterations in relation to cell proliferation, differentiation and maturation is scarcely understood. In this work, the Cho-P and Etn-P pools were measured by (31)P-NMR in extracts of chick embryo pectoral muscle at different days of development. The average concentration of these metabolites exhibited the highest values (respectively, 1.5 and 3.0 micromol/mg DNA) on days 9-11 and decreased at later stages of myogenesis. While, however, Cho-P maintained substantial levels (above 1.0 micromol/mg DNA) also during myotube formation (days 11-18) and stepwise decreased (to about 0.5 micromol/mg DNA) upon fibres' maturation, Etn-P gradually decreased between day 11 and hatching time (down to about 0.2 micromol/mg DNA). These results demonstrate that significant changes may occur in the steady-state pools of these metabolites during normal in vivo cellular development and differentiation, and are consistent with: (a) high rates of phospholipid biosynthesis reported in the literature for proliferating myoblasts; (b) sustained phosphatidylcholine synthesis maintained also during myoblast fusion; and (c) decreased requirement of phospholipid synthesis in the last phase of in ovo myofibre maturation.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of myoblast fusion, we attempted to prepare artificial myotubes of mouse C2 myoblast cells using the hemagglutinating virus of Japan (HVJ, Sendai virus). Proliferating C2 cells showed strong resistance to HVJ-mediated cell fusion and remained morphologically unchanged even though massive numbers of virions adsorbed onto their surface. They showed no membrane disruption, which occurs in the early stage of cell fusion induced by HVJ. These observations suggest that proliferating C2 cells are resistant to HVJ-mediated cell fusion. However, upon induction of differentiation, C2 cells gradually became capable of fusion induced by HVJ and then even generated heterokaryons with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. When differentiated C2 cells that had become fusion-sensitive were treated with HVJ in the presence of EDTA, they did not fuse but degenerated, suggesting that their cell membranes were transiently disrupted by interaction with HVJ. These results suggest that the cell membranes of myoblasts change to a fusion-capable state during the process of differentiation.

Abstract
Compared with isolated electrically driven neonatal ventricular preparations, the total time of contraction, the time to peak tension, and the time of relaxation were decreased to approximately 50% in adult ventricular preparations. The expression of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) was increased to 133% at the protein level and to 154% at the mRNA level in adult vs. neonatal ventricular preparations, whereas phospholamban was unchanged at both the protein and mRNA levels. Moreover, Ca2+ uptake was increased to 180% in adult vs. neonatal ventricular preparations. Phospholamban phosphorylation was enhanced in adult vs. neonatal ventricular preparations. In adult ventricular preparations, phosphatase activity was reduced to 53% of neonatal preparations, the protein levels of the immunologically detectable catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase types 1 and 2A were reduced to 28 and 61% of neonatal preparations, respectively, and the mRNA levels of type 1alpha, 1beta, 1gamma, 2Aalpha, and 2Abeta phosphatase isoforms were decreased to 69, 68, 54, 67, and 63%, respectively. We conclude that in the adult rat heart, the shortened time parameters of contraction can be explained by an elevated expression of SERCA. In addition, an increased phosphorylation state of phospholamban due to reduced phosphatase activity may be involved.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that cesium ions delay the sharp decrease in both membrane conductivity and membrane permittivity of chick embryo myoblasts seen at fusion (Santini, M.T., Bonincontro, A., Cametti, C. and Indovina, P.L. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 945, 56-64). Analysis of the conductivity dispersion data (obtained in the radiowave frequency range) indicated that cesium delays fusion by about 30 h. We suggested that cesium is affecting both active ionic transport by blocking potassium channels as well as interfering with membrane lipid and/or protein charges. In the present study, we have investigated both the possible role of membrane lipids in myoblast fusion and the possible effects of cesium on these lipids. Our data indicate that lipid changes do occur in the isolated myoblast plasma membrane of controls during myogenic differentiation especially prior to fusion and that in cesium cultures these variations do not occur. These variations are in accordance with current membrane fusion theory. Specifically, there is a decrease in bilayer-stabilizing lipids (phosphatidylcholine) and an increase in bilayer-destabilizing ones (phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidic acid) and cholesterol during the fusion process. In addition, although slight, during fusion there appears to be a decrease in phosphatidylinositol which is believed to be involved in the inositol phosphate second messenger system. In cesium cultures, in which fusion is greatly delayed, the same lipid changes do not take place and those that are observed seem to reflect the fusion delay.

Abstract
The phospholipid and fatty acid composition of primary cultures (24 h) of chick embryo skeletal muscle myoblasts treated for 4-24 h with physiological concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D-3 were analyzed. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D-3 did not alter the relative amounts of individual muscle cell phospholipids whereas 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 significantly increased phosphatidylcholine content, mainly at the expense of a decrease in phosphatidylethanolamine concentration. The increase in phosphatidylcholine occurred at a faster rate during the first 8 h than in the subsequent 8-24 h treatment period. A similar time course in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-dependent changes in myoblast calcium uptake has been observe. In addition, this metabolite markedly increased (100%) the arachidonate content of myoblast phosphatidylcholine near the fusion stage of the cells (24 h of treatment). The levels of docosahexaenoate, a minor polyunsaturated fatty acid, in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were also substantially elevated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3. No significant changes in fatty acid composition in response to 25-hydroxyvitamin D-3 were observed. Modifications in phospholipids and polyunsaturated fatty acids may play a role in the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 on muscle cell calcium transport and differentiation.

Abstract
The role of prostanoids in the regulation of chick myoblast differentiation has been investigated. At 3 X 10(-6) M, indomethacin and chloroquine specifically inhibit cell fusion. They do not affect cell proliferation, alignment, or the expression of two muscle-specific proteins, namely, the acetylcholine receptor and the muscle-specific form of creatine phosphokinase. The results demonstrate that it is indomethacin's activity as an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis at the cyclooxygenase step that causes the block of cell fusion, whereas chloroquine probably acts at the earlier step of phospholipase A. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), but not prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), rapidly reverses the inhibition of fusion imposed by indomethacin or chloroquine. The dose response of the myoblasts to PGE1 is a bell-shaped curve with a 100% reversal of fusion at approximately 10(-9) M. Eicosatrienoate and linoleate reverse the inhibition of fusion with similar kinetics, whereas arachidonate is completely ineffective. The ability of PGE1 and eicosatrienoate but not PGE2 and arachidonate to restore fusion to control levels implies that fusion is specifically regulated by a prostanoid of the one series. The reversal of the fusion-block by linoleate further suggests that this fatty acid provides the necessary source of eicosatrienoate in the myoblast plasma membrane. At 10(-8) M and above, PGE1 and PGE2 stimulate adenylate cyclase and depress control fusion as does 10(-5) M isoproterenol. The beta-adrenergic blocker propranolol abolishes both isoproterenol's inhibition of myoblast fusion and its activation of adenylate cyclase. The similar depressions imposed on cell fusion by 10(-8)-10(-6) M prostanoid and 10(-5) M isoproterenol suggest that in both cases the depressive effects are mediated by cyclic AMP. It is concluded that a prostanoid of the one series regulates fusion by a cyclic AMP-independent mechanisms.

Abstract
Effects of 20,25-diazacholesterol (DAC), a myotonia-inducing drug, were evaluated on certain biochemical and morphological properties of embryonic rat muscle cells grown in tissue culture. During DAC treatment, muscle fibers exhibited spontaneous contractions that changed from coarse twitches to finer fibrillation movements, The ultrastructural alterations produced by DAC were smeared Z-lines, disorganized myofibrils, occasional honeycomb appearance of membranes and large vacuoles connected to zipper-like structures. Biochemically, a microsomal fraction prepared from DAC-treated cells (compared to that of normal cells) showed a 30-45 per cent decrease in the isoproterenol-enhanced and the NaF-enhanced adenylate cyclase activity. however, the beta-adrenergic receptors, through which isoproterenol activates the enzyme, showed no change in density or affinity as judged by the binding of [125I]iodohydroxybenzylpindolol. That indicated that DAC treatment caused an uncoupling of beta-receptor-adenylate cyclase interaction. Guanylate cyclase and cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase were both markedly increased in DAC-treated cells, indicating a greater turnover of cyclic GMP. Binding of [3H]concanavalin A to DAC-treated muscle membranes was decreased 20-40 per cent. The data indicate that DAC exert a direct influence on muscle fibers, affecting their functional, biochemical and morphological properties.

Abstract
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.
