Multipotential mouse teratocarcinoma ceils in embryoid bodies were explanted on plastic or collagen substrates. Varlous modes of cell determination, including myogenesls, occurred. The predominant avenue of dlfferentlation soon became myogenesls: many multlnucleated myotubes formed and yielded an extenslve network of skeletal muscle fibers. The process does not proceed to normal completion, as the flbers have a paucity of striations and are not contractile. Activltles of several enzymes ordinarily associated with muscle differentiation were examined. Acetylcholinesterase activity Increases, especially during myotube formation, as In normal myogenesis. However, creatine kinase activity rises durlng myotube formatlon and then drops abnormally, and myokinase activity fails to increase appreciably. The fetal isozymlc form of creatine kinase is expressed in the cultures, although well differentiated solid tumors taken from mice show attainment of the adult muscle isozyme type if skeletal muscle is demonstrably present. The results are consistent with the interpretation that coordinately regulated changes in gene expressions controlling these functions may be required for later stages of myogenesis.
