Abstract Cardiac and skeletal type of excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) are quite different. Those differences could be explained by structural ones in the molecular entities involved in ECC, ie dihydropyridines (DHP) receptors (α1 subunit of L-type calcium channels) of the sarcolemma or ryanodine receptors of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. As previously demonstrated by means of electrophysiology, the two types of ECC coexist during the first stages of in vitro development of skeletal muscle, whereas the skeletal type predominates at the later ones. In order to see whether evolution of ECC could be correlated with the one of α1 subunit expression, we determined by Northern Blotting which isoforms of α1 subunit are expressed during the in vitro myogenesis. mRNA corresponding to the cardiac isoform are present in myoblasts (before fusion), but patch-clamp experiments showed that they are not functional. After fusion, skeletal and cardiac mRNA are coexpressed in myotubes, with different intensities: whereas expression of skeletal mRNA (which are the more intensive) stabilized at the later stages tested, cardiac mRNA decreased. We conclude that evolution in mRNA α1 subunit isoforms expression could partly explained evolution of ECC features during in vitro myogenesis.
