Developing chick embryo leg muscle contains a series of clonally distinct myoblasts. One of these myoblast classes, CMR-III, appears during the eighth day of development and, by Day 10, comprises up to 50% of all clonable cells in the leg muscle tissue. Denervation earlier in development prevents the appearance of CMR-III. The nature of neural influence on CMR-III production has been studied with a completelyin vitrosystem which allows functional interaction between cultured neurons and myogenic cells. Spinal cord cells from 4- to 6-day-old embryos are grown on gelatin-coated dishes and, after neuronal differentiation, myogenic cells from the legs of 10- to 12-day-old denervated embryos are added to the cultures. After 48 hr of coculture the cells are removed from the plates and myoblast populations assayed by clonal analysis. Cocultures produce CMR-III myoblasts as efficiently as do normal embryos—up to 50% of all clonable cells—while control cultures remain nearly free of CMR-III. The induction of CMR-III from precursor is inhibited by curare and by physical separation of neurons and myogenic cells. Induction is not mediated by soluble or insoluble, stable or unstable components released by spinal cord cells. Nonneuronal cells from skeletal muscle, liver, adrenal, and heart muscle do not induce CMR-III. It is suggested that contact between neurons and sensitive precursor myogenic cells is required for conversion of precursor into CMR-III.
