Peptides derived from proopiomelanocortin (POMC) have been found to stimulate the proliferation of murine myogenic cells. Among these peptides, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and .alpha.-, .beta.-, and .gamma.-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH) were found to be active, whereas the opioid peptides were not. At clonal density, both ACTH and MSH caused a three- to fourfold increase in the average number of cells per clone in myogenic but not in fibroblast colonies. At high cell density, ACTH and MSH caused a three- to fourfold increase in proliferation of myogenic cells, reflected by an increased accumulation of skeletal myosin. On the other hand hand mouse embyro skin or muscle fibroblasts or vertebral chondroblasts did not incease proliferation in response to POMC-derived peptides. The half-maximal dose at which ACTH stimulated myoblast proliferation was around 5 nM, and the mitogenic effect was doubled by suboptimal doses of fibroblast growth factor.
