Differentiation properties of a [rat] cell line, L84, which originated from a non-fusing clone isolated from the myogenic line L8, are described. In nutritional medium supplemented with 10% serum used routinely with L8 cells, L84 cells continued to proliferate to very high densities and failed to form multinucleated fibers. When grown in medium supplemented with 2% horse serum or 2% horse serum plus 0.1 .mu.g/ml insulin, L84 cells behaved very similarly to L8 cells grown in medium supplemented with 10% horse serum: when the cultures reached confluency, proliferation decreased and cells started to fuse and formed a dense network of fibers. Large increases in creatine kinase activity and synthesis of myosin were associated with cell fusion. Under conditions in which L84 cells did not fuse the increase in these synthetic activities was not observed, even after extremely high cell densities were reached. L84 cells retained the program for their differentiation into muscle fibers. The difference between L84 and its progenitor line L8 laid in the sensitivity to the environmental conditions which trigger the expression of this program.
