Previous studies have demonstrated that embryonic skeletal muscle is competent to form hyaline cartilage when culturedin vitroon demineralized bone matrix (Nogami, H., and Urist, M. R. (1970).Exp. Cell Res.63,404–410; Nathanson, M. A.,et al.(1978).Develop. Biol.64,99–117). The present experiments were undertaken to determine the nature of the morphological alterations which attend this phenotypic transformation and to investigate the ultrastructural characteristics of the myoblasts and fibroblasts of skeletal muscle during the transformation. Nineteen-day embryonic rat limb muscles were minced and the tissue fragments explanted to bone matrix or collagen gels. The trauma of excision and mincing causes syncytial myotubes to degenerate and the nuclei of mononucleate cells to enter a heterochromatic “resting stage.” In culture, nuclei of mononucleate cells rapidly regain euchromasia. No myoblast or fibroblast cell death can be detected. On bone matrix, the entire mononucleate population transforms into fibroblast-like cells. Myoblasts are the major contributor to this population; they dissociate from the degenerate myotubes and begin to acquire endoplasmic reticulum by 24 hin vitro. The fibroblast-like morphology persists through 4 daysin vitro. By 6 daysin vitrosome of these fibroblast-like cells acquire the phenotypic characteristics of chondrocytes, and by 10 days masses of hyaline cartilage are found. In control explants of skeletal muscle onto collagen gels, the heterochromatic nuclei of the mononucleated cells expand after 24 hrin vitro, but the mononucleated cells remain as myoblasts and fibroblasts and begin to regenerate skeletal muscle by 4 daysin vitro. No cartilage forms. The results indicate that both myoblasts and fibroblasts have chondrogenic potential when grown on demineralized bone. It is tempting to conclude that the embryonic mesenchymal cells which give rise to skeletal muscle, cartilage, and other connective tissue of the limb have similar developmental potentials and that local influences, rather than separate cell lineages, account for the final pattern of differentiation.
